Hey community
I have a blog that I import post from RSS feed, youtube and other channels.
My doubt is I have ths blog for 8 months now and a lot of content does not get any traffic.
Should I delete these posts? (+100 posts)

I don't understand people deleting posts that don't get traffic. Theoretically, it is work you've put into your business, so why delete it??

Besides, google loves content, and the more content you have the better it will be for your site.... And last but not least, you can always check in your GSC how this content fares and - if needed - you might be able to improve its ranking with a few well placed links, or a bit of optimization and thus have another source of traffic. So, why remove it?? It makes no sense....

but these content are from other sites...that I used (RSS, feeds, youtube, Amazon...)
 
Link from those non-performing posts to posts that actually rank

Use calls to action along with your keywords so your internal linking looks legit

People forget link pages using THEMATIC similarity so they don't benefit

There must also be a STRONG THEMATIC CONNECTION between pages you're interlinking
 
Deleting old and outdated content is not a good idea as you will lose your authority, just give this work to your content writer and told them to refresh content according to content and use some topics that people search at Google then index these blogs at Google via GSC it will rank and will bring genuine traffic to your site.
 
Delete them If they don't have any backlinks.

if this isn't your own content and something that you invested time and effort on, then you can delete it as they are coming from other sites and they don't have any real value for the readers anyhow, so if they aren't bringing traffic, there's really no point at all for keeping them, as they will only occupy the space and make distractions for other posts that have more quality.
 
Old posts are valuable to your website, Eventhough not getting traffic. Do not delete it.

No, that's a bad idea. Why don't you just modify them to make them more attractive for your visitor? There are many ways to make any post better.
 
Use internal linking for these. In posts where you are getting traffic, add links to these posts and it will boost their ranking also.
