How to switch from URL based navigation to Ajax, 1000's of URLs goneposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi everyone,
We have thousands of urls generated by numerous products filters on our ecommerce site, eg./category1/category11/brand/color-red/size-xl+xxl/price-cheap/in-stock/.
We are thinking of moving these filters to ajax in order to offer a better user experience and get rid of these useless urls.
In your opinion, what is the best way to deal with this huge move ?
-
leave the existing URLs respond as before : as they will disappear from our sitemap (they won't be linked anymore), I imagine robots will someday consider them as obsolete ?
-
redirect permanent (301) to the closest existing url
-
mark them as gone (4xx)
I'd vote for option 2. Bots will suddenly see thousands of 301, but this is reflecting what is really happening, right ? Do you think this could result in some penalty ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Jeremy
