RE: How important is the number of indexed pages?posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
If the content is not getting lost and being added as additional content to your category and sub category pages while also reducing duplicate content that is great. If the change will cause content to be lost or not seen then that would be a concern. Think quality not quantity. Just make sure you 301 the pages so any PR is properly passed.
Look at your traffic to the pages you are thinking about eliminating though first. Sometimes Google gives some sites 2 or 3 results on the first page (host crowding) so if this is happening to your site, then losing those pages could result in less traffic.
