On my existing live site (V11) I have product listing pages: single product page: extended info page. The product page contains a brief description, and the extended info page is a pop-up with full details (ingredients, nutrition information, allergens, etc).
I am planning on my new site in V2013 to cut out the brief description page, so that a customer clicks on a product on the listing page (forced to do so as will have no Add to Cart) and get the full details, my having moved the contents of the extended info page to the brief description, so no extended info page. This both cuts down on the number of clicks, and also forces the customer to see the full details, as at present many do not click (somebody just rang while I was typing this to ask if a product contained any wheat, one of many such calls).
However, I have just thought of a hitch, that the redundant extended info pages may now produce error codes where Google has cached them previously. Any ideas of best way round this? Should I keep the extended page existing, with no links to it, perhaps with just an image and a Back button, to prevent the error? Or better still, I am thinking while typing, I keep a copy of the full details on there, but with no links to it from the product page, as that will be better for Google results. Will that work?
