What do we do about reviews on our site for products no longer manufactured?

Personally I think I would leave them as is. If someone lands on your page looking for a product that no longer exists or one that you are no longer promoting I’m sure they will find other content there that is of interest to them. Most likely they are already interested in your niche and would be more interested in the latest and greatest in that niche anyway . Great question.

This is a very good question. I am sure others are seeking for this answer.
Personally, I had products that was no longer useful, so I just did some page an site cleanup! Delete, and trash those products.

I like this site clean up idea, but I’m sure neither of us want to go through thousands of pages and posts when we get to that level. I would assume if we are to leave them be, that they could still lead back to our sites and more importantly our affiliates with our affiliate tag still attached.

Thanks again for the reply,

Mike

Hey Mike,

Doing a quick Google search, I may have found your issue. See screen print below for a possible fix.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for the reply, although that was not it. It may have something to do with Yoast. Since when I’m on a page editing it Yoast will tell me my keyword isn’t in the url, and first paragraph and that I do not have any outbound links when in fact I do.

Thank you once again,

Mike

Whoa! My grammar isn’t usually that awful. It must be too early still.

Here's how: Hope this helps you.

Hello everyone,
I am currently using Yoast SEO and it is against using stop words in your keyword. When I do keyword research I'm finding better results, high traffic and l

What is stop words

a, the, of, and for are stop words.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words

Write for people, not computers - that's the advice I had been given about twenty months ago and it seems to be correct.

Long tailed keywords have stop words in them, usually no getting around it. Google is smart enough to know what they are crawling and how to index your site when you use stop words.

Go for it. Use them.

Yes Google is smart enough, but bear in mind real QSR is without stop words. This makes life much harder.

That makes sense and would seem like common sense. Yoast is wanting me to write for the machines and not the people. Got it. Thank you.

Real QSR is without stop words? I think my brain is sizzling now lol

Real qsr is about how a search engine sees keywords and they see them as I show in your title above.

See more in my texts

This is your title without stop words "use use stop word keywords".

So what do you think, should you use them? You have no choice.

I think I understand now. Thank you.
