Keep in mind too that when recycling your old posts you should check for broken links to pages that may not exist anymore.

Im spending a day working on the website today – and refreshing my old blogs will definitely be on the agenda. Adding links to the pages and maybe adjusting some of the wording. Thanks

So many bloggers seem to give up on old posts. Great to see someone reminding everyone: Old content isn’t dead content.

This is great Nick, thanks for the tips! It’s really important to make time to re-optimize older blog posts because – as you mentioned – those factors that are important in SEO now may not have been at the time you wrote it. SEO’s always changing, and it’s great!

Another way to breathe some new life into those old blog posts is to draft a “this time last year/2 years ago” post, or some similar theme that highlights what was pertinent to your readers around that time, or posts that got the most attention a year ago. You can list out and link to 3-5 of your old blog posts (after you’ve re-optimized them with all the tips you mention) and make parallel comparisons when it comes to what is of interest to your readers now.

Reduce, re-use, recycle

Anything that saves time doing seo is a good thing.

I’ve done this and it works wonders, especially the popular posts. I like the idea of applying new seo techniques that were not effective in the past but are now.
