Redirect 301 to homepage

[dannybaldwin]

Hello there, I have some low quality pages in my site, can I redirect 301 them to my homepage?

My website is:   https://idanito.com

idanito.com

You can do that but you'd want to consider what you're trying to achieve first. Pages and sites can have positive or negative equity from an SEO POV. If you have pages which are low quality, I would assume that by removing them you'd be hoping to remove the negative 'stigma' from that content. If you 301 redirect those URLs which you remove, you may unwittingly end up re-capturing some of the negative equity appended to low-quality URLs

In actual fact that would probably be quite a niche situation, for that to happen the pages would have to have some seriously negative authority / trust signals. In reality it will probably be ok to do this, but always check your data and 'look before you leap'

If you think those urls are really low quality, you should use http status code as 410.
