301 redirects

Hi I'm trying to redirect some pages on my site. I've had success using a 301 redirect in my .htaccess for existing html pages that are not part of cmsms.

My problem is when Im redirecting pages that no longer exist in my cms and that still gets listed by google. i.e

redirect 301 /index.php?page=Advertising_and_Design_Services http://www.impactmedia.ie/Advertising-D ... lway.shtml

This seems to have effect.

Any ideas??????

Hello,

Your webserver has a "redirect gone /url" feature, hasn't it ? It sends the http 410 (gone) code to Google and Co.
(or you can use a rewriterule R=410, see its manual).
I think you have a solution at the webserver level ; the issue is not CMSms specific.
