      I have a huge blog which is connected to a company website. This blog is full with dead links and spam comments. Is it worth to clean up?

      The website itself ranks very well in search engines. I'm amazed with all de spam that it still ranks. Do you think by removing all de dead links and spam the site will improve ranking in search results?

        It would be a shame to wast good content, especially if the site has a decent score. However, I would only take the time to clean the site up, if you intend on maintaining the site in the future. If you are using WordPress, there are some plugins that can help you with SPAM and dead links.

          When you say "connected," you mean the blog lives ON your company site. For instance: your-site.com/blog

          I would agree with ILNA and say, without any more information to go off of, it is more than likely worth it to clean up and continue to keep updated with quality and relevant content.

            Yes correct the blog is site.com/blog and has high quality content with many high ranking pages and high quality score. I will clean it up and try to maintain it again as the blog has not been looked after for a while and can be a good source for extra traffic.

            Many thanks for all comments it really helps!

            • In my report of my website it was indicated that I had 19 links/locations blocked by meta-robots. What does this mean and how do I fix it. My website is a Wordpress website.
