404 pages needs to be removed from google's cache

Hi,

I have recently updated a b2b portal, which is dynamic in nature. But I had used htaccess to render static URLs.
I had a google pr of 7 before I updated the site.

This is what has happened after updating the site completely.
- PR has gone down to 5
- 404 error is to the tune of 36788
- Inlinks on yahoo site explorer have gone down.

My question is how do I remove the 404 error from SERPs.
I have redirected all the 404 pages to the portals homepage.

Please advice.

You should try to take advantage of Google Sitemaps. I've noticed that it helps fully index my site and new/accurate pages show up in Google results.

Pardon me for butting in

If you're a WordPress (software) user, there's a wonderful Google Sitemap Generator that would auto-generate a sitemap and ping Google for you.
