Old articles in a blog

[Louis-Philippe_Dea]

Hi,

I would like to know your opinion about old article obsolete in a blog. Do you think it's preferable to totally delete them from Wordpress CMS? Considering the fact that Panda update measures "Bouncing Rate", "Time on site", and all that?

Thanks for your opinion and advice!

(Sorry if my english is not perfect, 2nd language )

You could use OpenSiteExplorer to see if any of those pages still has incoming links. If so, I'd recommend to redirect those pages to (in order of preference): an updated version of that article, the category page for this article or your main page. This would make sure the least amount of dead links turn up on the internet (and on Google) and the most link value is saved for you in one move.
