Broken Links and SEO

I run a RSS aggregator site and delete feed pages that is >=1 year old on regular basis.

Many of those deleted feed pages had incoming links from other sites. Will search engine penalize my RSS aggregator site for those broken links?.

Note : All the broken links are external (other sites link to my site) and not internal links .

Thx a million!

 

they won't locate those link pointing to that page. I think you won't get penalize but lose some back links.

 

I think Google will not penalize you but why are you doing this anyway?

 

I do not think google will penalize you for this but you can add a
301 redirect so you will not lose any traffic to your site.

If you have an account at google webmaster tools you have the
option of removing the page from google's index.

 

The mentioned site is http://www.kedoya.com . The database size grows by 10 Mb every day so I should purge some old feeds on regular basis in order to keep the database compact

 

why delete ? anyway it wont make any different in anyway.

 

i think google is not going to penalize but why you wana take risk.

 

Storage space is not an issue, it's database performance issue. Larger database tend to slow down the overall server performance.

With the current growth rate of 10 MB daily, the database size will be 4 GB by the end of this year.
