Redirect old product links

[need4speed]

I have a old webshop and now im going to launch my ny prestashop but how do I tell google the new links for each product?

Eg. I have this old link:
/shop/shadow-05-mest-501p.html

And now the name is going to be:
/18-solfilm-shadow-05-mest-til-varebiler-mod-indsyn.html

Is the a module where I can tell google where the old product link should link to now?

Typically you would do a 301 Redirect in your .htaccess file like this for each link you need to redirect:

 

Redirect 301 /shop/shadow-05-mest-501p.html http://{www.yoursite.com}/18-solfilm-shadow-05-mest-til-varebiler-mod-indsyn.html

And after that how big will be my .htaccess ? i have 400 links that mean 400 lines inside .htaccess

old links or deleted links?

if is about old links you have to edit .htaccess but if is about deleted links go to google webmaster tools and delete the links from google cache ( google results) and remake sitemap
