Im trying to fix all the 404 page not found errors according to my google webmasters admin page....it says i have 39 of them....and some of these pages are from our site way back in 2000...!

SO....

Im trying to figure out the best method for redirecting to the new content on our site, and am a bit confused....

I was originally told to use a "301 moved permanently" if the content is still on the site, just in a new location.... and here is what i was using....(my site is ASP based)
_____________________________________________________________________
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
response.status="301 moved permanently"
Response.AddHeader "location", "http://www.mysite.com/newfolder/newpage.asp"
%>
_____________________________________________________________________

then i was told that those redirects arent SE friendly.....so i started using this...
_____________________________________________________________________
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Redirect "http://www.mysite.com/newfolder/newpage.asp"
%>
_____________________________________________________________________
is there one i should or should not use?

thanks everyone.

Use the 1st one. I've done it on multiple sites with no reprocussions.
