“I learned that I should go into old content and optimize!”
The course cetainly reminded me that I need to go into old content and ensure the layout is correct and keywords are properly being used.
Which is better for SEO? Optimizing an old post or leaving it as it is and rescheduling?
Question for Laurie: Which is better for SEO Laurie, rescheduling an old post or tidying up an old post and ensuring the layout is revised with the correct
keyword being utilized? I am just so scared that by rescheduling an old post that I will break links, etc.
Answer by Laurie: I get asked this question a lot when I’m speaking at conferences. It’s completely normal to be anxious when updating posts, especially if they are already popular and bringing in great traffic. The fear of not wanting to mess things up by breaking a link is a natural one. To make sure you don’t break the URL {or permalink}, just be sure you copy it before you edit the post. Paste it into a Google Drive spreadsheet or somewhere handy so you can quickly proof the URL after you’ve pressed publish. If your blog automatically changes the URL {or permalink}, you can easily edit the URL back to the original or you can do a 301 redirect. It’s actually really easy.
Now… to answer your question about if it’s more effective to re-schedule an old post or optimize an old post for SEO… .I’d go for optimize every time! Think of it this way ~ you could have the most amazing Pumpkin Pie Recipe on your blog. However, if you called it “Grandma’s Best Spice Pie” in the title, URL, and throughout the post ~ then NO ONE will find it, because they are searching for a “pumpkin pie recipe”. Or, if you have “Pumpkin Pie” but don’t add the word “recipe” then it won’t come up in a search result either and people can’t find it. So, the reason for SEO is to fix your fabulous posts and word them in a way the average person will find them in a search result.
This takes a few steps:
1. Knowing what words {or phrase} people are using to search for your post topic.
2. Naturally incorporating that 2-4 word phrase into your post title, URL, and several times throughout the post. This proves to Google and other search engines that this post is on the topic you say it is.
3. Editing your image names and alt tags with those words {or phrases} so they will show up in image searches. This also proves to the search engines that this is on topic.
I hope that answers your question quickly. {wink} There’s a LOT we could talk about regarding SEO ~ but I promise you that fixing old posts is a better use of your time than constantly coming up with new content. When I first learned about SEO, I made it a habit every day to fix the 3 “you also might like” posts I linked up to at the bottom of my post. This way I had 4 SEO-friendly posts every day for search engines to re-index and send new readers over to my site.
