Should I Redirect Pagination?
-
Working on a redirect map for a client moving platforms and they have all of their category pagination indexed - no canonical link and no rel next/prev's on any of them.
Should I redirect the pagination pages to the main category page on the new platform? Or Should I allow the pagination to de-index itself type of thing?
Thoughts and experience?
-
I think it's better to redirect to the main category page on the new platform. Perhaps they've got some external links that point to these pages. And this will tell to bot that now there's only one strong page instead of several.
