What do you think about deleting old blog posts?

Hey guys,

Some months ago I made an expensive mistake, since I've wasted some time and I haven't achieved some goals because of it.

But making mistakes is part of the process and it means that at least I have tried something. It can be frustrating at times but I need to accept it and learn from it.

Wondering what mistake I made? I wrote about topics that are not relevant anymore. Some of these topics brought traffic to my site for some weeks but people are not searching for them anymore, which means that my site has lost traffic.

That's why I'm wondering if I should delete the posts about these topics. If people are not looking for them anymore, why keep them? They are "wasted posts".

What about you? Have you ever deleted old blog posts? How has this affected your website?

I would appreciate your opinions on this topic.

Thank you =)
