Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Donna - good advice. I think that's the way to go. Thanks very much for the help!

Donna - interesting idea.

I'm working with a new client with about 5,000 pages. I don't want to create hundreds of 404's but if I don't have to redirect 5,000 pages that would be good too.

What, in your opinion, would be too many 404's, too many redirects, or a good ratio of redirects to 404's?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated - thanks!

Hutch42 - I have a new client with a similar problem. They have about 5,000 pages with the default WordPress link structure and they want to improve the SEO rankings

That would mean 5,000 redirects - is there such a thing as too many?

I've done this with site of up to 500 but not in the thousands.

Thoughts?

Dennis - thanks for passing along this info - very useful.

Let me read over what you've suggested - hopefully my confusion will dim!

Thanks!

Hi - I'm working for a client with a manual penalty.

In their WMT account they have 2 pages indexed.If I search for "site:myclientsdomain.com" I get 175 results which is about right.

I'm not sure what to make of the 2 indexed pages - any thoughts would be very appreciated.
