Removing Free Sites due to 2257

[Tekster]

I might have to remove some of my free sites due to 2257 regulations. The question is, how should I handle this without getting banned due to 404 after the sites are removed?
It might be a little while before this happens but I would like to be prepared.

Thanks

2 years ago when the whole 2257 shit hit the fan, people were posting & emailing the link list owners so that they did not have 404's.

Regardless of the reason, it's always better to let the LL know ahead of time before the site goes 404 or redirects, because we have a tendency to blacklist people that do that

Thanks Greenie,

That is what I was thinking also, but wanted to make sure.

One more question, what info do you usually need, say I need to remove all sites from xyz.com, can I tell you the domain, and my submitter name, and email or do you need all that info plus the exact URL for each site?

[Greenguy]

If you tell me to remove all the sites on xyz.com, after I verified that you did own it, I'd just search & delete all the listings on that domain.

It's when you want to remove just certain sites on a domain that I'd need a list of URL's.

Damn, I'd need site names and domains. Not the whole url, just the domain.

for me you can just 404 them and the spider will remove them
