We just moved an older site to U7 and we need some help telling Google that the old url's are gone. The problem is that the old url's was to default.aspx?id=xxx where xxx is the page id. These url's will not generate a 404 response, but ends up with the main page as this is still a valid url. Is there any way to set up the web.config to filter these url's out and generate a 404 (or 410)?
You can download a 301 Url Tracker package, and then configure the different "default.aspx?id=xxx" to redirect to a 404 page not found page, or even better, redirect them to the corresponding new page url with a permanent 301. Google will be very happy!
