Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

I'm bringing a website back to life. I have comments stored up that came in up to 8 months ago. Can/should I still use them? If not how far back would be ok?

I just leave mine as we update only the recent comments will show unless someone takes the time to go through all the comments

I would keep them as the search engines are looking for length of time for the domain in rating the expertise in the site.

Thanks

Of course - nothing is to old

Thanks

Do long as they are still relevant, use them

Thanks

Comments of any sort should look good to google. Old comments say your site has been around for awhile so I'd think they'd be fine to use. From there get some new comments to show that it is still relevant.

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

Great! Thank You!

is there anything to watch out for? Should it even be done? Thanks for your help!

Looks like you got great advice from two of the best here at WA.,

Thank you

Not really. Websites with a blog roll tend to rank a little higher because with each blog entry, the Home Page will update and that makes Google happy because they like new content.

But it is a personal choice. I use a blog roll because it makes it easier for my website visitors and for Google, to see that my website is posting current and new information.

Exactly the information I was looking for, thank you

No and it is your preference.

Thank you

You're welcome!

Does it hurt your website changing from blogroll to static?

Can you add content or correct grammar to your post if its already published? Does this help or hurt your rankings?

Glad you asked this question to confirm.

Thank you

It's always good to go over old posts especially reviews. Sometimes a product has changed price, or is no longer available so you should keep a check on that.
You can also check and see if there are any internal links you can add. As you add more content to your site there are more opportunities to do this (Google likes internal links).
You also get better at writing as you go forward and think of ways you can improve your posts, as others have said, Google likes this. :)

Thank you

I added 1,000+ words to a 1,500+ post before.
It was ranked on the 3rd page at the time. Now it's sitting nice at #1 for couple terms and a few more terms around the first page (this happened a couple weeks after editing).

Thank you

Google loves that, as long as you keep the seo intact

You are always so helpful! Thank you

Not at all, I'd have thought adding to posts would be a good thing, you could add a small note header saying.

"Updated 19/5/2015" for example, to let people know you've added to it.

Thank you

I agree with Donna

Thank you

You can edit your posts at any time. It will not hurt your ranking.

Thank you, and I would like to add My dad was a Marine. my brother still is a Marine. I know how hard it it is to be a Marine Mom, and I want to Thank You!

is it bad to change keywords in a post that's already published?

I think Loes has the best answer.

]Yes you absolutely can.

However you should not change the keywords in the tittle that are shown in the permalink. (URL)

Although I have found that even though it is a good idea to do this to posts that are not doing well in the SERP's you should not change the keyword or keyword phrase that you were originally targeting when you created the content.

Instead try finding a new keyword or keyword phrase that relates to what the original post was about because this will in turn help the other slightly in ranking better.

Keep in mind though that simply adding the new keyword /keyword phrase you want to rank for as a new Tag for that post can lead to that post ranking well for that Keyword.

Again the keyword or phrase should be similar or at least relate to the original keyword that the post was created around.

But Ultimately it is your site and you can do with it how you see fit just be sure that you don't cause a 404 error by changing the permalink. If so make sure to do a 301 redirect or something similar.

Thank you

See what Kyle answered on my question about title

Thank you

You better write a new post attending the new keyword, less fuzz

Thank You

Thanks Loes. I think this is the best action. I will move forward and leave past posts alone.

As long as you change the permalink properly, then it's no problem to update a post that has been published.

It's a great idea to help the posts that aren't doing so well get ranked better.

Thank you

Not a good idea. It won't improve your rankings. I think Google doesn't like such things. Once your post has been indexed it's better to leave it as it is. I think if you do it Google can think that you play with keywords instead of focusing on your readers.

Thank you

No you can do that. If you are changing the title, you may want to change the URL as well. Just remember the old URL will not work anymore. But changing the keywords you used is not a problem.

Thank you

Can you go back and change keyword in a post that's publish?
