Barry, I feel your pain with this. Unfortunately clients have 1 goal in mind, SELL. they do not have the same mentality or experience we have and do not understand that an informative interesting site will convert much better than a purely sales driven site.

What a relavent post! This is exactly what I’m going through with higher ups at my day job. They want the website redesigned so that it is pared down to just the facts – an online brochure basically. I’ve spent years putting articles and content on there and we rank in the top 5 on the Big G for keywords that have lots of competition. I’m steering them towards leaving the content there but just reworking how its navigated. Hopefully they will get it.

I like this post. I often get clients who want the sales brochure type website. I often try to get them to at least add a blog so they can add content, but then again they have to actually write post, but that’s a whole different problem.

With more web content updated on a regular basis comes increasingly more attention from the search engine crawlers.

Based on my personal experience, if you shed the irrelevant pages and just keep the pages that is completely optimized, the site would rank a lot better in the targeted terms.

Lots of content even if it’s unique might not be a good thing as lots of people would say.

There’s an undercurrent here that hasn’t been touched on thoroughly…and that is that 100 *indexed* pages carry more aggregate pagerank power than 10 indexed pages. Even if those 90 extra pages are somewhat low-value, the pagerank they enjoy can be directed toward the pages with the more high-value keywords. Adding content solves more than one problem at a time.

Content is King as they say, and it’s common sense really – Google returns the most relevant sites in their searches and it therefore makes sense that they search your content to find out if it’s relevant. The more relevant content you have on the site the better it will rank. Of course there are other factors involved but content is the best place to start.

Getting rid of content pages is not necessarily bad if those pages have a lot of backlinks that you can redirect to more important pages using a 301. You can always create more content later although you will end up using your long tail keyword rankings.

@We sell it all – You have a unique site requirement. Since you have temporary content, you wouldn’t be expected to keep it on the site after the product is sold. You would have to keep up your SEO efforts on the site to maintain a frequent Google crawl rate, so that when you add and remove content quickly it gets updated just as frequently.
