Is Google mad at me for redirecting...?

Hi,

I have an e-commerce website that sells unique items (one of a kind).

We have hundreds of items and the items are rapidly sold.

Up till now I kept the sold items under our "sold items" section but it started to get back at me as we have more "sold" than non sold and we are having duplication problems (the items are quite similar besides to sizes etc.).

What should we do? Should we redirect 100 pages each week? Will Google be upset with that? (for driving it crazy)

Thanks

The "sold items gallery" would not be redirected and if this gallery was filled with photos of attractive photos and descriptions of the most interesting items that you have sold it could attract links, traffic, likes, tweets and more.  I know of some antique dealers that have huge "sold item galleries" that attract a lot of traffic from interested people.

Dear Egol,

Whats the point in investing in the sold items gallery if you still redirect the pages - no one (not human nor Google) will be able to enter the pages...

Thanks

I would create a "sold items gallery" for each product category.  These would be pages that contained photos and descriptions of many similar widgets that you have sold in the past.  If you have several photos and descriptions on the page these would be rich content that might attract links, likes and tweets from your fans.

After you have these galleries I would redirect all "sold out" pages to either your current category page for sales items or to these gallery pages - whichever you want to receive that power.  I have a site that redirects thousands of pages per year - we place them in folders by date to make redirecting a lot of pages easy.
