Deleting Portfolio Images Question

I am thinking of deleting a large amount of the images in my contributor port simple because there are so many non sellers and frankly "poor quality" images from my earlier days as a contibutor. My question is does anyone know if I delete 50 plus percent of my portfolio will that affect the Search Engine Algorithm and effect the remaining port images in the Rankings? Does the Algoritm potentially take into account how many images there are in one's portfolio. Thanks you for any responses.

A lot of work for something that will probably have no effect on your sales. The images met the Adobe standards even if you think they are low quality. Try changing keywords and titles so that they too may get noticed and sold.

I think it's unlikely that there is any harm in deleting images that have never been sold. There may be some minor benefit from doing so if you believe they are not representative of the current quality of your work in that you wouldn't want a potential Buyer to come across such an image and conclude that it was typical of your other work.

I would test its impact on 5 - 10 images first.  No sense throwing baby out with bathwater.
