Switching from mybb to google was a great choice for me for one of my websites. However, the downside to this was that now my google search engine results are messed up. I had google seo on but disabled so google only indexed around 1 - 2 pages, not that bad, however the old urls from smf are still there and going to a 404 page. What should I do? Really need advice here.
Wait. GOogle will notice the pages lead to a 404. You could use HTACCESS to redirect the old style link to a new one, then google would see this and correct its database Smile
Yeah but it is over like 30 links. Plus its a custom 404 page, do you think they will detect that?
A custom 404 page still sends the 404 header, so yes Google should detect it.
