What to do about pages that are no longer there?

macpaulos · May 14, 2010

I have a small ticket site. After a particular event is finished I take down the page. Unfortunately google has indexed these certain pages and so my users are getting 404 messages. What do you think is the best way to approach this??

If you are using wordpress, there are some pretty nice 404 handler plugins available. I'm a bit partial to the AskApache Google 404 handler, though it does require you have a goog account.

Redirect to current content or the front page. It's not technically correct, but it solves the 404 problem and lets you keep the incoming link juice.

Thanks guys, I'm using Joomla at the moment. I'm gonna look into a plugin if not a redirect. Again thanks for the advice.
