Let me give you an example of what I am trying to determine, then perhaps we can figure out if doing a 301 is beneficial or not.

Let say I have a page called buggy.htm which is pulling in traffic for people searching for red winged flying buggy things at the north pole.

The new site no longer has this page, but has a page called bug.htm.

The new page (bug.htm) does not bring in as many people searching for red winged flying buggy things at the north pole because it focuses more on blue winged flying buggy things at the south pole, though some still do come in while searching for red winged flying buggy things at the north pole.

If I place a 301 from the old page pointing to the new page will it help bring in more traffic as before for the search red winged flying buggy things at the north pole.?
