Official statement
For an auction site with thousands of expired products, using noindex on completed auction pages and optimizing the internal linking to active auctions is a valid strategy. With 10,000-100,000 pages, there is generally no crawl budget problem, but this helps Google prioritize relevant content.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Le noindex affecte-t-il l'autorité de la page ?
Non, le noindex empêche l'indexation, mais n'affecte pas directement l'autorité.
Comment vérifier si le noindex est bien appliqué ?
Utilisez l'inspection d'URL de Google Search Console pour vérifier l'état d'indexation.
Le crawl budget est-il un problème pour tous les sites ?
Pas nécessairement, mais il devient critique à grande échelle lorsque vous gérez beaucoup de pages.
Pourquoi ne pas simplement supprimer les pages expirées ?
Supprimer les pages peut briser le maillage interne et créer des erreurs 404.
Le noindex change-t-il quelque chose pour les utilisateurs ?
Non, cela concerne uniquement la façon dont Google traite la page, pas son accessibilité à l'utilisateur.
