Best proof that you can get back in the game when deleting old blog posts!

Hi everyone!

Do not be afraid to delete non-performing blog posts that hardly got you any traffic at all!

I know, why delete posts that still got a few clicks? I hear you, you put hard work into them (did you really? ).

I needed to realize why some of the 15 posts that I deleted weren't ranking, learn from that, and to move on. (even though I thought back then that I worked hard on them)

Don't forget to redirect them though!

Yes sure, I didn't just delete posts, but since about April this year, I have also updated quite a few older blog posts:

- check out the competition: what are they doing better then you?

- did you answer peoples 'also ask' questions?

- have you looked for SLI keywords and updated the title , first paragraph and headings?

- do you have enough internal links to that post?

Yes I know, that is a lot of work, and for me this also meant that I could only add 1 or 2 new blog posts per week, but now I'm almost through and we can move forward even more and faster with the help of ChatGPT!

I'm back in the game b***hes! (google, gotta love or hate them haha)
