Here's the situation:

My inexperienced webmaster put all of my pages called "Newtest" up on the internet while we were developing the site. Then put up the final versions of the pages that weren't called "Newtest" and removed the "Newtest pages". Not realizing the newtest pages were live while they were up she's created a problem for my site. Some of my missing newtest pages are starting to show up in searches. The final pages just went up last week so haven't shown up in a search yet. I consulted with godaddy, and they suggested I create either 301 redirects from the newtest urls to the home page of the final site others suggested individual 301 redirects to the page it's replaced by, or do a 404 permanent page removal and just remove all references to the newtest pages or 404 with custom page missing pages that have clickability back to my site.

So many options...another one is to wipe that url and put all my pages on a new url and start anew.

Which is better in the long run? I'm leaning for a clean smooth search engine friendly site that is ethical and easy to navigate.

Thank you for any ideas...ps...I'm not a webmaster...it's my site
