REMINDER
SOLVED SEO / Redirection
-
Hello,
I have questions about :
- URL redirections
- Indexed pages
URL redirections
I tried to add a redirection, but permanent or not it looks like it's not working.
Project ID : lw-hpm-48dbc2
What is the expected result of adding a redirection here ? I thought it would simply redirect the user to the targeted page.Indexed pages
If I understand it right, if I suppress pages from the sitemap and regenerate it again, it will be removed from Google SEO ?
I have some pages meant to be navigated through only and should be listed by Google, is it the right way to do it ?Thanks

@pierre if the page name still exist then redirect won't work, you have to delete the original page if that's the case
try to redirect a name that does not exist (eg: test2351.html or test2351 without extension) to a page that really exist

@joseph-benguira noted, it works then thanks ^^
What about the SEO question, if I got it right, if I remove a page from indexation in the sitemap it will not be processed by Google ?
Thanks

@pierre if you delete the page, then the redirect will work and google will index the redirected content

@joseph-benguira sorry ma second question wasn't clear at all !
It's not about redirection and and page deletion.
If you go in Dashboard -> Indexed pages, you can choose which page are indexed in the Sitemap.
If I remove pages from the sitemap using this, but without deleting them (like, archives), will they still be found/indexed by Google ? Or removing them from the sitemap via Dasboard->Indexed pages will assure me they stay "hidden" from google ? -
@pierre I recommend to hard delete them
