      So, I know indexing search results is a big no-no, but I recently started working with a site that sees 50% of its traffic from search result pages.

      The user engagement on these pages is very high, and these pages rank well too.

      Unfortunately, they've been hit by Panda. They already moved the section of the site with search results to a subdomain, and saw temporary success.

      There must be a way to preserve their traffic from these search result pages and get out from under Panda.

        If search results are ranking ....why don't you identify those terms and create a category or index page for each of them.  Write a few sentences about the term in general and then list pages that otherwise would have been returned as search results.

        You get Improved navigation + more link juice flow + less issues with Panda.

          Looks to me like lots of ebay search results are indexed in Google...

          Search google for "baseball cards for sale"

          No panda problem there.

          If you know how to get rid of these I would really enjoy it.  🙂
