That’s definitely something I’d be interested in. Maybe my ill-formed opinion is just lack of education? Most likely!

Okay I’ll try… What I’m suppose to delete are those that are off-topic. Maybe I can tweak those contents to make it relevant to my niche as a whole… One online tool I used says that overall contents rating of my blog is approximately 80% relevant. Am still researching about it though…

Rewrite, don’t delete!

Sometimes, articles just don’t drive much traffic.

Other times, articles you think are lame get a lot of traffic.

But don’t delete anything. That permalink is valuable.

I’m also looking at Alexa stat… However, it seems like Google Analytics is more accurate… I am receiving good traffic on the past weeks until now with some targeted keywords… I still need to go back to my old posts that don’t drive much traffic. I want to ask you personally Dave if it’s right to just delete them, and update those articles that link to it. I recall your article about pillar contents, and it looks like my pillar contents are the one driving much traffic to my blog.

Hi Josh.

It turns out that Alexa is extremely reliable… at measuring what it measures.

The problem with it is that few pay attention to what it’s measuring.

I have an article brewing on how to use Alexa. I’ll finish it one day!

Oh, I really should add to that… I’ve basically had to rebuild my site from the ground up over the last couple of months after being booted from Google because of some weird redirects my site had (and I didn’t really know about until it was too late).

Basically I’m on a PR 0 now coming from a 2 (or 3 – can’t remember).

Anyway.. traffic completely dried up from search engines which pretty much killed my blog.

Can’t wait till I get my PR back.
