I use Eval UrlMapper (Ewal.UrlMapper)
and redirect categories after changes out of web.config:
something like
<entry pattern="(?&lt;basedir&gt;.*?)/games/party/(?&lt;id&gt;.*?)\.aspx" target="{basedir}/Games/Party-Games/{id}.aspx" type="redirect"/>

Thank you. I am not familiar with that. I am little hesitant making changes to webconfig. I played with it before and it caused one day downtime and no sleep :-) I have like 20 categories that will be changed... along with their sub-categories. Is this the only way to do it?

Anymore ideas or suggestions?

siteDirector has a TON of overhead and poor support. It should handle 20 links though.

We use ISAPI_Rewrite for all these things. It handles the whole server, it's simple to use and it does a whole lot more than sitedirector with a substantially lower server impact.

these solutions seem over complex to me. you don't need to buy anything.

I just create real folders and aspx files on the server to match the categories and products that have been removed from the site and use the google-approved 301 redirect to redirect to the new version of the category or product page.

Here's an example of a redirector file is placed in /shop/catalog/category1/category1a.aspx which redirects to the new page for the category

&lt;%@ Page Language="VB" %&gt;
&lt;script language="vb" runat="server"&gt;
Sub Page_Load(Source As Object, E as EventArgs)
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader("location", "New-Page.aspx")
End Sub
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Page Redirector&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should have been automatically redirected to the new page for this category or product. If you have not, please &lt;a href="New-Page.aspx"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to be redirected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
