first of all let me make it clear for you, you don;t need to redirect every 404 Url , in the webmaster tools look for the most important URLS(404) by filtering them on the basis of sites linking to them and then once you got the main important URLs immediately redirect them to their respective URLs!!

Redirect Old domain to New domain (htaccess redirect)


Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain.
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with your actual domain name.


In addition to the redirect I would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.


Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
