Hello to everyone. I have http://www.storypickers.com
I just want to make some main change at my site. I’m going to add some other categories/pages and delete my current pages.
So my question is:
It will be a bad thing if i delete a page or a category with it’s all articles? I mean will this damage my seo and affect at google for bad? Or maybe I should hide them instead of deleting?
I’m waiting for your suggestion guys.
Bye 🙂
Normally if you delete articles, best to redirect them to another index, perhaps on same topic.
Or if changing things like a category name change from news-books to book-news, you would also want to do a 301 redirect for that.
Not huge issue with brand new site, but with established site … yes, it can hurt your SEO if you suddenly have 50 missing pages that are being linked to from social media or elsewhere just vanish. 404 page is technically fine though, just try to avoid giant batch of 404s all in one day 🙂
Hi. Thnx for your fast reply. Can you tell me how can I redirect a page/article to a new location?
Thnx!
