301 redirect

This is the first time we've come across this, so I wanted to propose the question to the group before I implement anything. We have a faculty member that is leaving our University and would like to redirect their current OS site to their new site. How do folks handle redirects when a scholar leaves?

Hello,

I plan on redoing my site and would like to know the proper way of deleting pages in terms of seo. I have ~100 product nodes, taxonomy, views, and panel pages I will be deleting in the process. From what I can gather, I would need to implement a 301 redirect using Path Redirect for each of the pages before removing them. Since the pages will no longer be related to the new version of the site, does it matter where I redirect the pages to if they have no PR or inbound links? I was thinking of redirecting them to the home page. Will this have an effect on my home page (~100 page redirects to /), which has a PR of 2? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Paul

Hello,

I am using Xenu's Link Sleuth (PageRank 7) to generate a list of URLs for a drupal site (and also find all the broken links). I am migrating a site to Drupal CMS and need to map the old URLs to the new URLs using a 301 redirect to move over all the SEO ranking values to the new URLs. Using Xenu's Link Sleuth has always been helpful but I was really surprised when I saw hundreds upon hundreds of URLs that are dynamically generated by Drupal.
