Re: Redirect to Product Page when only One product in category
But Jon...
The page doesn't redirect at all - only the category does *to the page). And it redirects to the page, which is indexed. The "category" in this case is NOT indexed, nor do we want it to be, if there is only a single product associated.
Where this technique works well is for a store using flyout menus...
COMPUTER HARDWARE
KEYBOARDS (only 1 item - this takes us directly to product detail page)
MOTHRBOARDS (3 items, this takes us to the category page)
PORTABLE COMPUTERS (2 items, this takes us to the category page)
PRINTERS (3 items, this takes us to the category page)
So although Computer Hardware > Keyboards is a category, this code automatically sends the browsing customer to the one ond only product in the category.
Jon - ARE YOU SUGGESTING that we solve the browsing experience for the customer with a 301? This will mean more work for the admin, since we have to identify each instance of this situation...
Are you also suggesting stores with CDSEO Pro NOT use this technique?
Thanks for the clarification.
