Hi Jeff,
That was my first thought as well, then i got into the old site and saw that I was going to have to re-write most of them anyway. I am hoping to get back some of the juice with solid on page SEO and new content.

Thanks both of you. It's pretty much what I thought, but it is always nice to get confirmation from others. Been selling online for a long time, but SEO is my weak point for sure.

Does this require site-wide 301 redirects?posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
I have an old site that we are re-building, and also moving form Yahoo Stores to Big Commerce.
- yahoo uses site.com/page.html and BC uses site.com/page. Is there any SEO benefit to keeping the old .html format?
- some of the pages on the old site have no links to them from external sites. Do they even need re-directs, or should I just let Google find the new page equivalents when they crawl the new version of the site?
- While some of the old pages (primarily product pages) have OK urls, others have obscure product numbers as the URL. Obviously the latter need re-directing to a more relevant page, but what about situations like this:
_/accessory-product.html _ > product-accessory
In this example, the existing URL is fine, except for the .html extention. If I just used the old URL, would having a mix of /sample.html and /sample pages hurt me?
Thanks in advance for your help and input!
