Efficient management of your website's SEO strategy includes ensuring that only valuable pages are actively promoted within your NytroSEO account. Certain pages, such as those with no content, error pages, tags, categories, filters, and search result pages, often do not contribute positively to your SEO goals. These pages, frequently generated automatically by your CMS or various plugins, may be incorrectly marked as canonical and therefore optimized by default in NytroSEO. 

To ensure your tier capacity is used effectively, it's recommended to unpromote these pages. When a page is unpromoted in NytroSEO, it reverts to its original meta tags and is no longer managed or handled by the platform. 

1. Understanding Web Page Limits and Capacities

NytroSEO allows you to manage a specific number of webpages for SEO optimization and promotion, depending on your subscription tier. For example, in Tier 4:

• 4,000 Webpages can be managed for SEO optimization and promotion (flexible)

Using these slots efficiently means focusing on pages that truly add value to your SEO strategy, and unpromoting those that do not.

2. Identifying Pages to Unpromote

Certain types of pages should be considered for unpromotion to free up capacity and focus on more valuable content. These typically include:

A. Pages with No Content

Pages that are empty or contain placeholder content do not contribute to your SEO efforts. These might include pages that are under construction or inadvertently left blank.

B. Error Pages

Error pages, such as 404 pages, should not be promoted as they do not offer valuable content to users or search engines. These pages often get mistakenly marked as canonical by default but should be unpromoted.

C. Tags, Categories, and Filters

Pages generated by tags, categories, or filters in your CMS often do not provide unique content and can lead to thin content issues. These pages are frequently marked as canonical but do not merit promotion.

D. Search Result Pages

Search result pages on your site, especially those generated dynamically, typically offer little SEO value and can be a source of duplicate content. These pages should be unpromoted to ensure your SEO efforts are focused on more significant content.

E. Automatically Generated Pages

Pages created automatically by CMS plugins or other automated processes may not always align with your SEO strategy. Even though these might be marked as canonical, they often lack the quality content needed to warrant promotion.

3. Deciding Which Pages to Unpromote

After identifying unneeded pages, decide which ones to unpromote:

A. Unpromoting Pages

For pages with no content, error pages, or those generated by tags, categories, or filters, it is recommended to unpromote them. This will revert the page to its original meta tags and remove it from active management by NytroSEO.

B. Reassessing Canonical Status

Review the canonical status of these pages to ensure that only high-quality, relevant pages are set as canonical and promoted. Unpromoting unnecessary pages helps to avoid diluting your SEO efforts.
