Google webmasters shows 37K not found errors

[Zertuxte]

Hello we are using Joomla as our cms, months ago we used a component to create friendly urls, lots of them got indexed by google, testing the component we created three different types of URL, the problem now is that all of this tests are showing in google webmasters as 404 errors,  37,309 not found pages and this number is increasing everyday.

What do you suggest to fix this??

Regards.

Submit a sitemap with the proper URL structure to Google. Do also a scan of your current URL structure to check that you aren't having actual 404 errors. An option might be also to 301 the previous test URLs to the current ones, but as long as you don't have any links pointing to the test URLs you should be able to get the site indexed properly without messing around with 301 redirects.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

I am in the same condition: how long should I wait for Google to reindex and rerank the site?

I don't want to mess with 301, even my Host has a DirectAdmin panel that allows me to redirect without editing the.htacces file.

Am I getting penalties from Google in the meantime?

Thanks,
