Should i fix 404 my errors?

[JimDirectMailCoach]

We have about 250, 404 errors due to changing alot of page names throughout our site.

I've read some articles saying to leave them and eventually they will go away. Normally I would do a 301 redirect.

What's the best solution?

If it's at all possible to redirect to a relevant page, I would do that. If the 404s are for pages that are no longer relevant, or old content you really don't want people to be able to find any more, then a 404 is just fine.

You can see the corresponding correct page against the 404 error page

Been the number of pages are high as you said, Make an entry in excel to note down all these 404 error pages and corresponding new page on the site

Then simply apply 301 redirect to the corresponding pages

I would do this. I personally don't think 250 404's is too much to knock out within a few hours. If you were in the thousands it would be a different concern.

Use excel to make this faster and 301
