      Hi

      We encountered a problem with our site during a migration to a new platform and we lost much of link juice. I have noticed on SEOmoz Open Site explorer that our old urls from the old site still exists and many have high page authority. The urls all redirected currently to a 404 page and it is not possible to retrieve the old information

      For example this page  http://www.featuredeco.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/FeatureDeco/_71989/1

      This has a page authority of 32.

      Is it possible to retrieve the link juice from these pages and channel it on the

      Kind regards

      Paul

        Yes. Do you have google webmaster tools installed on your website? Between GWT and Seomoz crawl, get a list of all your 404 pages and use a 301 redirect manager to redirect all the 404 pages to their new respective pages.
