Help
I have a folder that contains a few hundred pages and I need to have these removed. A quick look in webmaster tools shows that all the pages are indexed (according to the sitemaps section), but a site: search shows only about 85% indexed. Either way, I want to remove these pages from the SERP's.
I can redirect the whole folder, and its contents, using;
redirectMatch 301 ^/cars/ http://www.mysite.com/products/ (example)
Yes?
BUT is there an option to get these pages removed from googles index, other than manually asking each one using the removal tool?

Look into 410 Gone (http://mkrd.info/sof...s-redirect.html)
Google treats 404's and 410's as the same, and that when they come across it they assume it's gone forever.
Or maybe place a index tag on each page and Google will pull them all but I assume you wouldn't want to be trawling through 100's of pages to add that tag
