It's time to lose a few pounds from your website. Having a website with hundreds of pages might seem like something you can boast about but it's not.

Take a look at your Google Analytics stats or whatever stats system you use and see what pages are not getting hits. If you have pages that are not getting a lot of hits then it's time to shed a few pounds from your website. They are not getting hits because they are of little interest to your visitors or because they are difficult to find either within your own site or from search engines. So ditch them.

Tone up your website by removing those unused pages and concentrating your effort on the pages that get the hits. Work on shaping and improving them with better content. Maximise revenue on these pages with adverts or better product descriptions that simplify the experience for your visitors.
