Re: Discontinued products / broken links
I would put something in your code that disables the order buttons and puts a large red lettered sold out or discontinued text on the page. I would assume you are using a dynamic language of sorts, so this can be checked agaisnt he record for the item. If an item is marked as discontituned or sold out, this can automatically happen and you are not having to update an individual page...it would all be handled by whatever admin tool you are using for your inventory. You can also dynamically insert the redirects mentioned above so that the page is still there and just insert them if the item is no longer in your inventory...again, this makes the process of doing this dynamic so all you have to do is mark something discontinued as you normally would and then you are done.
