It’s a fact that with time, we forget a lot of
things, good memories, bad memories and things we read. Now if you see
from a blogger’s point of view, the articles that once turned out to be a
very successful one slowly lose their charm with the passage of time. A
good article is just like an asset for a blogger which he should always
keep alive.
When you recycle your real gems, you
actually increase your page Rank. While I was going through my hit
posts, I was wondering how to keep them involve in my present and I
found some great ways to grab some more popularity for my best shots.
Being too devoted to my readers, I am here to share what I learnt to
make more money and popularity with old posts that once did a huge
business for you.
1. Update – re-share – enjoy!
Some
of you might think that old posts hardly have any charm left to attract
the readers, which is somehow true. Now you need to put in some efforts
to add some happening ingredient to your old post and republish it,
using creative headlines to drag a considerable traffic.
Done with it? Good enough now promote it on social media like tweeting and liking on twitter and Facebook.
2. Cross link your Posts
This
is what I try to do most of the time. Make it a practice to link your
old posts in your articles, which is never too difficult. The only thing
you need to make sure that it’s a related topic. For example, if you
wish to recycle an old post on “How to use make money by writing
articles for Blogs”, then perhaps you could write a new post on “How to
increase the blog page Rank by writing Articles” and place a link to the
initial post. This will lower website’s bounce rate.
3. Use Related post below post:
You
must have seen a “related post” widget on good sites isn’t it? What is
it for? It actually promotes old blogs that are actually related to the
published post. Just like ours, if you own a multi-author blog you can
also consider adding more posts via author widget after post, which is
again helpful to get more views on old posts.
4. Use Slideshows
Slideshows
have always been eye- catching for the visitors. Think about a slide
show widget placed at the sidebar which prompts about some great and the
popular old posts. There are loads of free and easy to use sideshow
applications like Flickr Slideshow.
You can also highlight your hottest old posts under the heading “Most
Read” or “Most Popular for 2015”. Don’t forget to link them.
5. Write a Response Post
Along
with time, the reliability of the old articles which were once on the
top list can decrease or change completely. You can then plan something
to write in response to those posts. You can define the new updates,
talk about the changes and highlight the significance of things by
referring to your post
No
one can deny the “old is gold” strategy and you should make a use of
your best pieces because things that did business for your yesterday can
always bring more for you tomorrow if and only if, you know what, where
and how to bring effective changes.
All the best,
