Is 301 redirect good in this situation
- SEO |
Just wondering if forums SEO gurus can help on this. We are a classified job board which has recently been hit by panda update. We realized that this might have happened due to the way our system creates pages with job content.
Actually for a particular job type (lets say sales jobs) we will show a page only when there are 3 or more sales jobs in our database. So a url gets created when we have 3 jobs but there might be a times when there are no sales jobs on the site resulting in an empty page. Now this is happening with a lot of job types. what you guys think is the best way of limiting these thin pages.
1) should I put no index code on pages with less than 3 jobs and taken no index off when url has more than 3 jobs
2) put a 301 redirect to a related page when less than 3 jobs and removed it when page has more then 3. ( a bit confused about switching a page on and off with a permanent redirect).
Any suggestion welcome and sorry for the long read
