How to remove manufacturers without losing authority on search engines


Occasionally, companies stop working with other companies, it happens

Step 1  - Make a list of manufacturers who will be removed.

Step 2  - Make a list of URL’s associated with those manufacturers. (Manufacturer pages and Product Pages)

Step 3 - Remove any static links to those URLs from the rest of your site. (contextual links, sidebars, footers, navigation menu’s…etc.)

Step 4 - Create a 301 redirect from each old URL to a new URL to prevent broken links and 404 page errors.

Step 5 - Test each redirect individually to be sure the old URL goes to the new URL

Step 6 - Remove the old manufacturer’s products from your catalog.

Step 7 - Rebuild and resubmit your sitemap to Google & Bing

Removing Links Not Working Out - Disavow Now!

If you've been working hard to get rid of all those links you built that don't work anymore and are actually getting you into more trouble than doing you good, there's good news ahead and Google's lending a helping hand in their effort to work with webmasters to eliminate spam and build value for the internet as a whole.

Have a look at the new Disavow Links tool offered by Google for Power Users and Webmaster use only.

And here's the link directly to the tool itself: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main

This is definitely a good sign that the Panda's and Penguins at Google are not all bad and they are working towards working together more intimately with webmasters.
