: SEO effect of redirecting pages back to the home page with a hash anchor We have a one page site. There are different sections, linked to via anchor links. Since we built it using WordPress
We have a one page site. There are different sections, linked to via anchor links. Since we built it using WordPress such every section is a unique page behind the scenes. The problem is that Google indexed these pages as well. That isn't bad for our search results, but our site shouldn't be used via those pages. It should be used only on the home page.
Does it affect my search reputation if I redirect visitors back to the correct section on the home page via JavaScript? For example /contact/ would get redirected back to /#contact. I use JavaScript for the purpose of only redirecting users and not the bots. The pages themselves are good for us. The have good linking and good content.

I think it would be much better not to have extra pages, like example.com/#contact that link back to the home page, and just use example.com/contact as a link in itself. Google prefers whatever is the most simple and clear for them, which would be separate pages like example.com/contact.html for example.
Indicating separate 'pages' like example.com/#contact would be second best because Google displays results like the root URL to your site, then below it says "Jump to: #contact ", for example.
