Basically, I've deleted a load of pages from my overall directory but in the time that they were online, they were picked up by google and in fact are still in it despite not being online for 6-12months. So obviously as a result the ad-network is telling me that it can't validate because the ads aren't showing on those pages. Is there anything I can actually do to validate the site, exclude the directories the pages are in perhaps? If I wait for Google to deindex them, I'll probably be here forever.
Best method is to do a Google request to get non-existant pages out of index. See: http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html You can aggie engineer around thte problem but you really need to get them out of index. Good luck, Shannon
Thanks for the link. I've submitted all the urls, hopefully I'll get some result. Much appreciated, Ed
