I would think that would work more effectively than a meta redirect. Well, there’s always Response.Redirect in ASP. I would think that would work more effectively than a meta redirect.

Could we get some help for people stuck on stupid IIS that doesn't have (to my knowledge) a synonym for .htaccess (if it does I will repent and say 5 hail Marys :) so what do we do, google has so far been somewhat unhelpful on the redirect & I hate using meta redirects.

On my site, I have several rewrite rules to generically redirect old addresses that I know have mass-moved: RewriteRule /journal/?$ / [R] RewriteRule /archives/cat_([A-Za-z0-9]+).php /archives/$1/ [R] RewriteRule /archives/([0-9]+)_([0-9]+).php /archives/$1/$2/ [R] RewriteRule /archives/([0-9]+)_([0-9]+)_([0-9]+).php /archives/$1/$2/$3/ [R] Then, if that doesn't catch everyone, then my custom 404 page tries to search my site database for keywords and/or search engine referrels. If that fails, well, then I just give the user a search form. I can’t agree with having EVERY link redirected, but I do agree that you should not leave people with helpless 404 pages.

A good goal, but I can't imagine the management nightmare in doing that - even on my personal turned business site. In the business world, This is one of those times I question the value of search engine traffic. If you can't prove that the value of those referrals are worth more than the cost of maintaining each and every URL you've ever put out there, then it's a questionable goal at best. Gack!
