Will changing our URL's to MVC friendly URL's have a positive or negative affect on our rankings and link juice?

[SimonDixon]

We've recently changed our site over to a new hosting system, we've got similar pages and are now looking at changing the URL's to ensure we do not loose our link juice from our previous site.

My question is regarding the URL's, is it worth us changing our URL's to MVC friendly URL have a good or bad affect on our rankings and or link juice?

Thanks

Hi Dean,

First you have redirect to all old urls to new urls ( 301 redirect ). If your website has good backlink profile then don't go for MVC friendly URL. Because even if you do 301 redirection Google will not pass whole link juice to new URL.
