Get Traffic From Your Old Blog Posts - Update Your Old Blog Post - By: scott_mcdonald

I. Post dates

Showing the post date might seem beneficial, however, this is not always true. Every time an internet user look for an information online, they have an inclination to discriminate against older blog or article content simply because it is old. It may have valuable information but it could be totally ignored because of its age, and an internet user may choose to click a newer blog or article and make you lose traffic. in case you need to get some extra mileage from your blog post or article, then its about time to consider removing the post date and recover your traffic.

II. Comments / Trackbacks

Should you consider to republish a blog post then its post date will be updated but not the date in its comments or trackbacks. In cases like this, it is possible to having comments or trackbacks having an older post date than the post date on the blog. This may confuse your readers, you might want to consider removing old comments and trackbacks or you can put a simple message on top of your post like: "This post was originally posted on {date}", and you can also place the link of the original post.

III. Dated References

You may have removed the original post date but you may have not realized that you have dated the content by posting a holiday or stating snow, summer or autumn. Avoid possible confusion by removing these references.

IV. Add images

As the saying goes "A picture is worth a thousand words" and it is true that a beautiful image in a blog post not only makes the blog post look good but it also gets more click as compared to a typical image. Aside from making your blog post look good, it also serves as a navigation tool for your readers, it also helps individualize your posts and most of all images can be an excellent way to say that the content of your blog is important.
