Unblock Shopping Cart Page
-
Is it weird to remove the View Cart page from being blocked in robots.txt if it has links pointing to it?
-
Yea, you don't have to login in this case. I think it could provide benefit to someone if the View Cart page were to come up in the Sitelinks when someone searches for the particular brand.
I think I'll go ahead and remove from robots.txt.
Thanks

Keep in mind that any page which requires a user to log in to view it wont be crawled anyway. There is no need to block these types of pages.
I mentioned this information because many shopping cart pages like the "view cart" page require a user to be logged in to access the page. It depends on the particular cart configuration.

I guess you gotta ask if there any benefit of that page/content being crawled or indexed?
The view cart pages I would've thought would be completely dynamic and built/based on individual user interaction and have not much (if any) relevant content that would benefit your site. I'd guess that blocking this page is pretty standard for shopping carts.
Not too sure if this helps, but i found this site that put together a handy little list of recommended excludes for a few popular CMS's.

Inbound Links from Broken Pages
Hi all, We have a client who has a lot of inbound links from external pages that are broken/404. The 404 pages are EXTERNAL and linking to my client's pages, but their domain still has authority and their home page (and other pages) still load. My question is: what should we do about this? Do we detox those links, or are they still sending some juice given that they have domain authority, despite the fact that the pages linking to my client are broken? So in other words: - My client is: yyyy.com - They have a link from vvvv.com/services, which is a broken page - So what should we do about this? Thanks all! Gavin

Should I find a way to archive high authority product pages for an e-commerce site?
One of the sites that I work on has a high turnover of products as it sells cutting-edge technology products that quickly become outdated. For each product it is important to build a strong link profile as the competition is very high. I am therefore reluctant to remove pages once products have been discontinued (typically after 6-12 months). However, I do not want discontinued products to appear alongside the latest products as this will hinder the customer experience. Is it worth me finding a way to archive the old products, so as to maintain the links that have been built up?
