Potential Geek: I have a list of 2000 key terms from pre-panda going to pages that I have since deleted from the site... We are still ranking for the lions share of those key terms (in various places in the serps (many on the first page))... instead of ranking on the specifically SEO built pages... they are ranking on the main category pages... I'm sure you can find similar key terms on the HUGE category pages... though prior to building out these SEO pages they weren't ranking... and since deleting them, they remain ranking...
