From which all bloggers get together to know how to delete the outdated post of your blog without 404 Page Not Found errors, there is no harm to traffic and ranking.

Outdated Post Delete Why is it important for SEO?
All of us blogs have some posts that have updated their content over time, which is very good for SERP ranking.

But there are some posts on any blog that contain some such information that when it was post-shared, it was used for the information given by the people.

But now that information does not mean any work has expired. Let's say you publish an article related to "Reliance Jio" free internet related to your blog and after some months or years "Reliance Jio company" closes.

Then, in this situation, the number of related posts that you have posted on your website will be Expired or Outdated post.

If you have similar posts in your blog then your blog SEO is a big loss. Such expired articles have a negative effect on your site's SERP (Search engine result page).

Because the user does not have any fidaya and neither the search engine likes outdated content like this. Rather Google turns down our blog's ranking.

This type of expired content should be removed from us as soon as possible. But when we delete some old post, we have to face 404 Not found errors in the search console.

Now you should be thinking in your mind that 404 errors can redirect them to 301 permanent redirect. But I will not say you can not do this

Because after removing any post, you can redirect it to related post only, do not redirect to any post or home page like this.

And if the service is completely closed, it does not make any sense to write related post, so in this way you can not write a new post on the subject to which the old article can be redirected.

Meaning if we do not delete the outdated post then there is an SEO problem and if the expired post is deleted, then there is a problem of SEO.

Now there must have been a question in your mind that after doing what we should do to get outdated post delete from which there is no loss to our blog ranking? Is there any solution?

Absolutely, but to complete this process, a plan has to be done, so it takes 3-7 days. But according to this process, if you delete an outdated post, then there will be no loss to your blog SEO but the ranking will improve.
