Alternatively, they could 301 the removed pages to the most relevant parent page if that would be a better user experience for those few who did navigate to them. (in my experience 301ed pages also get removed from the index faster than 404s)
- ackkchoo 15y agoThanks, that's helpful information as well. I didn't know about the 410. We used to 301 some pages, but ran into duplicate content issues where Google would continually spider old 301'd URLs (even when there were no longer links pointing to the original bad URL).
