We are redesigning our existing website. The domain is staying the same, but the sub-structure and page names are changing. Do I still need to do 301 redirects or will search engines know to remove the old 404 pages from the SERPs?

Okay, thanks! Would you happen to know of any resources on "how to" for 301s within the site structure? Everything I have found has been for Apache, which we dont use or it pertains to moving an entire domain.

I would like to know how to send one specific page to another specific page so that the SERPs will provide the correct redirect.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, do 301s; as per my opinion you need to work for both SEs and Specially for Users who are searching for your keywords and landing on your pages, if users get nothing on your page they will never come again or it can increase your bounce rate in analytic. remember if your sites user experience is great then SEs will be automatically attracted to index your pages.

So it seems from what I can gather, even though our domain is the same, the pages are changing

Example:

www.site.com/oldpage.aspx

to

www.site.com/newpage.aspx

We need to keep all of the old pages of the website existent on the server and redirect them from the code.

Is this the case? What if we don't have access to the old website code in order to keep the pages?

We dont have a .htaccess file.

I cannot find in our IIS Manager where to access each file specifically to create the redirects. I did find however, a section called "HTTP Response Headers", but it only allows me an entry of a "Name" and a "Value".
