Top pages > PNGs, JPGs & PDFs > What to do?

[Flowrox]

After exporting Top pages list in Moz Pro, I noticed lots of pages with high PA (page authority) are actually random images (.png & .jpg) and documents (.pdf).

Question 1: Should I make a redirect 301 from an image/document to the actual webpage? If not, what should I do to keep the ranking, but point the URL to the correct place?

In addition, lots of highly ranking URLs are actually outdated. They are coming from the old website. I switched to the new one more than a year ago.

Question 2: If I create a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one, will I keep the high ranking?

Thanks,
Anja

Anja,

Have you  looked at your google analytics to see if those resources are bringing in any traffic?

Generally, yes, you should redirect those resources.
