Is mass blog deletion/301 redirect punishable on search engines?

I'm going to try to make this short. I've run a blog for six years now, specializing in male mental wellness. A few years ago, I had some success garnering regular visitors through search engines alone, but over the last few years, that number has pretty much dropped to nothing.

One of my issues is that most of the content on there is pretty generic. I started the thing when I was new to SEO and developed a large number of generic pillar pages to attempt to rank cluster content (long-tail keywords) off of. Again, had success a few years ago, but I'm well aware how much has changed.

I've had the thought to completely redo the structure of the content, targeting more specific niche topics in this category, and getting rid of the general information pieces. Part of the mindset here is to try to lower the volume of what I'm working with; it's just me on the blog as of this time, with about 300 posts/pages. I'd like to shrink that to 50-100 and begin working out from there.

I've just never done something like this for any of my SEO clients, and I'm wondering if anyone else has attempted it and what the results were like?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Copying articles from Google Docs To Wordpress - Bottleneck

My writer sends me content in Google docs and images separately. Uploading them to Wordpress is a pain because I have to download everything individually and upload them one by one. A simple copy paste works for the most part but the main issue is - I want to give my images SEO friendly file names and copying them from docs names then 'image 1' , 'image 2', and so on in Wordpress. Does anyone have a solution for this? I would be forever grateful as it would save me a lot of time in uploading content. submitted by /u/Eastern-Individual64 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/KiTmF28
