Just a rant, and it affects many portal packages, not just DNN. There is no simple way to redirect pages that have been removed from the site. Custom redirects, URL rewriting, custom 404 errors and everything else you can do in any ASP.NET site are available, but what would be really nice would be a redirect or some equivalent option in the page deletion process. Possibly even an "Archive" option for deleting a page which keeps the page and provides a redirect to a new page or location, allowing easy recovery down the road if needed. Even a generic redirect to an "I'm sorry but the page you're attemting to access no longer exists" and a search form to look for the data elsewhere.
Naturally this option should be SEO friendly, as well as clairvoyant so it could find what I meant it to find and not what I actually entered... :)
Sorry, just spent the last hour pulling outdated seasonal pages and having to manage redirects to current material. Stupid Google needs to be clairvoyant and redirect when I remove a page and the whole rant would be moot.
