Have you been building your site for months and years yet? It's different now...when we first started we had great passion and energy and committed ourselves to building lots of wonderful content, as the training says.

Hopefully if you've been at this for may months and years you still have great passion, have made some money, but are noticing that you have a lot of old pages and posts. Should we just leave them or can we revitalize them to make our site better?

I contend that it is a must for your continued success. Here are the steps I use:

Thanks for the tips! I'm just a few months in and already find myself revitalizing my earliest posts/pages. I feel justified!

This is awesome Michael thanks. By doing this, it may also bright to light some new content ideas as well!

I have a question. Say you don't add any new content (which I highly doubt) would you still recommend changing the date of the post? This wouldn't have any negative effect on the post would it, such as duplicate content etc?

Hi Suzette, Great question. I probably was not clear enough. I would only change the date if I added new information...up"dating" as it were.

Gotcha, you did great with this post! I bet I may be a bit embarrassed when I go to my oldest post LOL but on the other hand, it may be a boost to my ego :)

You are ABSOLUTELY right !!! As far as I can see as a forever newbie :)

And I do set up Google alerts with the keywords that I used to write the post. So, when I receive new "informations" about my post subject, I add it to my post. I did realize, this morning, that some of my posts are well over the 1500 words, with a not so bad quality content :)

Work in progress !

Best Regards to all of you, Jeff
