Personally, if there is some new information that comes to light on the subject, I'll write a new post discussing it. I find this is a better way, as it goes further in to detail, and you can be sure visitors will read it because it's the latest post. Still, nicely written post. Nice one Stefan! :) Good idea, but I must admit I’m not entirely convinced. Personally, if there is some new information that comes to light on the subject, I’ll write a new post discussing it.

Unfortunately I think this applies to almost every blog. Most of us publish some of our best content in the beginning simply because we have been thinking about the content for so long when we start a new blog. Since I have only been active internationally for two months I have not read your first posts for an example, so I am looking forward to see them be republished. Thank you Doug.

I don't do it as often as I should, but I do try my best. Some nice points you mentioned here. BTW, I have added this to my Monday roundup post.

I definitely wrote a few posts when we started our MMO blog that I thought were really good, but most people never read them as we were getting little to no traffic the first couple of weeks. I am definitely going to think about republishing them or at least linking to them in future posts. Thanks! Very good points Stefan.

When you have nothing new to publish you can simply update your old post and republish it. About checking broken links then. I personally recommend the plugin "Broken Link Checker" which automatically search through your posts every 72 hour to find broken links and notify you about them. Highly recommended.

For some reason a post could be great but because of different reason the right people did not notice it. This could be because of wrong title, wrong day, etc. By republishing an updated version you will double your chances of getting people to notice it. I'm glad you like my Theme. Unfortunately it still looks a bit to much like the standard theme but as usual I spend most of my time developing other sites than my own. It sounds like a good idea John.

This is specially true when you face that "horrifying" writers block, when you just simply do not know what to write. When something like this happens, I tend to go back and look at those older posts that specially needs updating. Great tips and If I may, you should use IIS SEO Toolkit form Microsoft to hunt for broken links. It works great and it save a lot of time, particularly if you have a big blog and several hundreds if not thousands of links to fix.

I am going to reuse a few of these bad boys and re-work them a little bit and see if I can get some bang for my buck. P.s I really like the look of your Thesis Theme here, I see a lot that all look way too much alike, this is a nice change up.

It happens that people start ignoring their old posts and concentrate on new posts. But giving proper treatment to old posts can also show way to good traffic. Beautiful tips man! I like it.
