404 to 301 redirects is there a limit?

Hi

We've just updated our website and have binned out alot of old thin content which has no value even if re written. We have a lot of 404 error on WMT and I am in the process of doing 301 redirects on them.  Is there a limit to the number of 301 the site should have?

There is no limit to 301 redirects and in my opinion it makes your site much more crawl friendly for the search engines.

Here is Matt Cutts of Google on the subject - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1lVPrYoBkA
