keep short posts?

[camerontway]

From an SEO standpoint, is it worth keeping a blog post that only has a few images and a few sentences? I think the post was meant to be a 'Recent Work' type of a post, but there's only a few images in it and a few short sentences. I'm thinking they're basically useless since I've created an image gallery elsewhere and I'm tempted to delete them.

hello,
you can still have engagement benifits from it, you can try expanding the content, and add a nofollow tag to the links so it doesnt pass link juice to other pages.

The decision of whether to delete, merge, or enrich depends on your specific situation and priorities. If you have limited resources and the content offers little value, deleting is be the best course of action. Or if you can invest time to enhance the content or choose professional ways to access it, consider those options.

Just focus on providing valuable content to your users and search engines will benefit your SEO strategy in the long run.

While it may seem tempting to remove a blog post with minimal content, consider its potential SEO value. Even brief posts contribute to your website's indexing and can attract traffic through relevant keywords. Additionally, they offer opportunities for internal linking and engagement. Rather than deletion, consider enhancing the post with additional contexts, such as project insights or client testimonials, to provide value to visitors. Alternatively, you can redirect users to your image gallery while keeping the post for its SEO benefits.
