I know this has come up before, but I need a little help.
I redid a site and all the taf file names have been changed. I wanted to use the Google URL removal tool to get rid of the old taf files. They are still being crawled by Google but all the links end up pointing to the default Witango error page. In fact, after years of using Witango, I have noticed that Google will keep crawling these pages because, according to Google, they still exist and return as 200 Object Found pages. On 40 websites, I have many of these links that are still being indexed by Google and I want to clean up all the sites and remove the dead URLS. Google requests that all pages listed for removal be a 404 page. In otherwords, a true Object Not Found page. I did a header check on one of the dead URLs and have found that Witango treats the error page as a 200 Object Found. Is there any way to change the header info and have Witango treat these pages as a 404 pages? Eventually, Google will drop them if I could figure this one out.
Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
