    Getting banned from adsense has nothing to do with ranking. obviously the domain authority counts towards high ranking which you might not be having. wait for some times things will fall your way looking at the scenario where your old posts are ranking high.

      thanks grgmathew for your reply
      i understand that there is no relation between adsense and ranking
      but the posts ( 120 ) from total posts 500 that i have deleted affect my ranking or not

    from what i know deleting some of your sites pages won't affect your ranking.

    when you delete pages from your website, it'll take some time before google remove them from their index.

    seoman? Maybe not.

    Of course deleting pages can impact your rankings. You may have lost a lot of internal links from them. If you didn't do 301 redirects for all those pages, any links that were pointing to them are now gone. You may also be showing tons of broken links on your site.

    YES

    Deleting pages from a site can affect your rankings. Especially if they don't have the proper 301 redirect like someone already mentioned.

    source: I've done this a few times in the past and my sites dropped just like a rock.

    BUT...... usually your site will recover back to the normal rankings after sometime. Lesson learned, no more deleting pages for me.

    yes it may affect because deleting posts will result in 404, you need to remove from the Google index as well, you can do that from web master tools

    Deleting your pages is a wrong moved especially if the pages/post you deleted was already rankings for some keywords. I will instead do a 301 on them.
