It depends on why you want to loop through the notebook.
Often, what you really want is some way to act on different parts of a
notebook. This can be done by getting the notebook, modifying it and
putting it back out. This is often easier to program and faster than a
loop. For example, to remove all output from a nb
cont = NotebookGet[nb];
cont = DeleteCases[cont, Cell[_, "Output"|"Print"|"Graphics", ___], Infinity];
NotebookPut[cont, nb]
If you really want or need a loop, then it's just a matter of SelectionMove.
SelectionMove[nb, Before, Notebook, AutoScroll->False];
SelectionMove[nb, Next, Cell, AutoScroll->False];
cont = NotebookRead[nb];
While[cont=!={},
SelectionMove[nb, Next, Cell, AutoScroll->False];
cont = NotebookRead[nb];
If[MatchQ[cont, Cell[_, "Output"|"Print"|"Graphics", ___]],
NotebookDelete[nb]
]
]
