Hi Mark

Not sure what you need there - can you explain a bit more?

Google is indexing a cat page for a keyword instead of the main page or product page, so I want to delete the cats and redirect them if possible to the product page.

This is the cat page I want to redirect to the product page.

So you want to set up a 301 redirect from one page to another? If so, you can do that via the web.config file, there's an overview with examples here https://www.bowlerhat.co.uk/301-redirects-for-seo-from-windows-server-iis

I have added to the webconfig but it doesn't seem to be working, it just pulls up all products.

What did you add? The order of rules may be an issue.

<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="StaticRedirects">
<add key="/products/RJC-Robert-J-Clancey-Aloha-Hawaiian-Shirts" value="/products/Mens-Hawaiian-Shirts-Clothing?scri=9" />

Further down I have these additions:

<rule name="Categories Match" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^category/([^/]*)/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="categories.asp?cat={UrlEncode:{R:1}}" />
</rule>
<rule name="Product Match" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^products/([^/]*)/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="products.asp?cat={UrlEncode:{R:1}}" />
</rule>
<rule name="All Manufacturer Match" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^manufacturer/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="categories.asp?man=all" />
</rule>
<rule name="Manufacturer Match" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^manufacturer/([^/]*)/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="products.asp?man={UrlEncode:{R:1}}" />
</rule>
<rule name="Product Detail Page Match" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.asp" negate="true" />
<add input="{URL}" pattern="\.css" negate="true" />

</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="proddetail.asp?prod={UrlEncode:{R:1}}" />
</rule>
<rule name="StaticRedirects" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
<add input="{StaticRedirects:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.paradiseclothingco.com{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

This isn't my field of expertise really but did you try adding your new rule after the existing ones?
