Many Pages Being Combined Into One Long Page

[AllyBank]

Hi All,

In talking with my internal developers, UX, and design team there has been a big push to move from a "tabbed" page structure (where as each tab is it's own page) to combining everything into one long page.  It looks great from a user experience standpoint, but I'm concerned that we'll decrease in rankings for the tabbed pages that will be going away, even with a 301 in place.

I initially recommending#! or pushstate for each "page section" on the long form content.  However there are technical limitations with this in our CMS.  The next idea I had was to still leave those pages out there and to link to them in the source code, but this approach may get shot down as well.

Has anyone else had to solve for this issue? If so, how did you do it?

I have just been looking at this same problem and from what I can figure out, the 2 methods you mention above, separate pages and Ajax pushstate are the best (maybe only) way to go
