Content pruning for SEO threatens web history, and experts say it is ill-advised.

It is perhaps another sign of how bad things have become with Google’s search results—full of algorithmically generated junk sites—that publications like CNET are driven to such extremes to stay above the sea of noise.

    Cnet is trash. Them deleting old articles is probably and improvement to search results. They should delete new ones as well.

      I was never a fan of CNET either… In fact, most of the Red Ventures subsidiaries seem quite bland.

        I find the only good content comes from people’s blogs. Sites that have to constantly publish articles always turn to shit.
