To 301 or not to 301?

[iHasco]

So, to cut a long story short, on our website we have a /product page that is very similar to our homepage and doesn't really serve much of a purpose. It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the website and our directors want to get rid of it and focus our efforts on our homepage.

Problem is, the /product page has a little bit of PA and links to other important pages on the website. I personally don't want to completely cut this page off. Would a 301 redirect to the homepage be a good option or would I be better off redirecting users to our course library page (Our course pages are what bring in most of our organic traffic)?

Any help or other suggestions would be appreciated here!

Hello Ihasco,

If you redirect this page to another page that is not relevant in content then there may be no benefit to the redirect at all. You state that the page is similar to your homepage. This is where I would redirect the page if you wanted to maintain a portion of the page rank that the page currently demands.
