: Does serving a directory page as "not found" affect SEO of its sub pages? If my site has pages of form: /product_root/product1 /product_root/product2 /product_root/product3 If somehow my page

If my site has pages of form:


/product_root/product1
/product_root/product2
/product_root/product3


If somehow my page `/product_root/ gets served as "404 Not Found" to Googlebot, would rankings of my above product pages also gets affected?

Is it mandatory to have this page the root page on my site or can I directly have the product URLs without it?

It depends on how your products are internally linked. If the only way the crawler can get them, is through product_root - then they will be affected too. If crawler has other link pathes to products (and will go them) - then ok.
