Surviving and Thriving as an Ecommerce SEO
Everett Sizemore | 8/28/09

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

Get notifications in real-time as products are removed from your site so you can 301 redirect the URLs in case other sites were linking into those product pages. NOTE: Products can come and go at any time, while categories tend to stick around longer, if not indefinitely. What happens when you redirect the product that you redirected the first one to? Keep it simple. Redirect to categories and avoid multiple 301 hops.
