Should I use nodindex, follow or rel canonical?
- by webmasters
I have a site that lists offers, promotions from other websites.
Since the offers expire rather quickly I don't save them into my database. I see no point in having a page from 2010 about 30% discount on a certain brand of shoes which isn't availabe anymore.
A visitor enters my website;
He clicks on the "shoes" category;
http://www.mysite.com/shoes/
Here he sees 20 available promotions from different online stores.
He clicks on a promotion and gets to a page like this:
http://www.mysite.com/shoes/promotions/prada
Questions:
I use the template promotions.php and list all the promotions.
/promotions/prada/
/promotions/otherbrand/
....
What I do is use "noindex, follow" for the links.
Is that a good idea? Or should I use rel="canonical" for the promotion page?
How do you advise me to handle this from the SEO point of view?
