I am taking down a few old posts from my website and I would like to know how and what do I do to inform Google.

Steve

There should be a way to redirect the links.

Trish knows what she's saying, Steve.

Maxine

Thank you for your vote of confidence, Maxine. Much appreciated.

No problem, Trish. You deserve that and more.👍

Hey Steve,

If you cannot update those old posts, then be sure that you provide a redirected URL to a similar subject matter so that Google won't have broken links in their SERPs.

Google gets really angry with websites that simply delete content and leave their search engine looking outdated.

I learned THAT the hard way when deleting and merging several old posts and I FAILED to provide redirected links. My site did not rank very well for 6 months after that.

Lesson learned REALLY well... so... don't YOU make THAT mistake, please?

I faced the same (now) because one of my sites has hundreds of posts deleted before moving it over to WA. Sad! I'm starting all over again.

Dang, John.... wished I'd known this in time to help you too.

My boo-boo was my local business... and thankfully, I learned this lesson years ago now.
