SEO question on deleting content
- SEO |
indexed by googe, have PR 3 , all part of the same site.
I am redoing some content and streamlining it.
I no longer want nor need the pages in question.
So, keeping them is not an option.
What is the best way to get rid of them,
1) just delete and use the custom 404
2) Use a 301 redirect to the main page
The question I have about option 2, is that what
if they all get redirected to the main page? Does this
affect any google ranking of the main page or any other
part of the website? Would that make it seem as if all
pages are being used to direct google in a not so good
way?
I've only used the 301 for single page swapping, not multiple
sites to the same page.
Anyone want to take a stab?
