Deleting Content then adding it back - Page 2

seo.omg-1.com · 10-07-2007, 01:22 PM

This is just simple thinking. Looking for short cuts.

If you have no ideas on new content.

Just copy and paste your old content and alter it with your views on it or comments etc to make it quasi- original.

Just read one of your pages and open note pad and write what you think of the page. That is fresh content, and not so hard to make.

But unless it is valuable it is only made for the bots and that is not long term thinking...just like take it off and put it back on idea.

Not workable!

Spend your time on link building

Good one! This may happen to you, so just be resourceful and create a new and unique content! Just think and think!

Deleting content isn't as silly as it sounds.

I had a section on a site that was regularly getting 300+ visitors a day
One day google decided it didn't like it and it dropped down to -30 a day
I left it for 3 or 4 months but it didn't recover, so I deleted it.

A month later I reloaded the same pages and within 4 days I was back
up to 300+ a day

The biggest problem for me is thinking of new stuff to write about.

That's only a SEO myth (You need to update your site frequently.)

Frequent updates to your pages may increase the search engine crawl rate, but it won't increase your rankings. If your site doesn't need to change, don't change it just because you think the search engines will like it better. They won't. In fact, some of the highest ranking sites in Google haven't been touched in years...."

I always write a new one! If a topic of mine does seem related to an article I've read before, I will make an acknowledgment on that article and might put it in my article.

I would personally error on the side of caution with deleting content that has already been indexed. I'd rather have depth to a site then have broken content that people might happen to search for. If you want new rotating content, take the time to rework the article or post, but put a different slant to it, perhaps branch off more in depth on a sub section of that particular post.

i agree with Coolguy here it needs not to be regularly updated. i use to update my blog twice or even once a week. about the deleting content, i guess if the subject is boring, try to write it in a different angle to make it more interesting, need not to erase it

Read and analyze, this may help you with your problem dude!

in my opinion no that will not work. search engines dont crawl your site daily, and your users wont appreciate the fact your constantly deleting content and then adding it back again. they will get fed up of coming to your site expecting to see new content, to discover its content that you add and remove every other day.

as they say you should design for the user, NOT the search engine

One thing that you should consider before deleting your content and uploading it back to your site are your link backs on other sites. If a spider happens to crawl on another site linking to that content and goes back to your site (via your linkback) and sees no content - it may affect your PR...

Another thing is, do you think G will not know that your content is not new? It may trigger your page to be a supplemental one!

potchie · 10-11-2007, 12:14 PM

.. i think if the page has been indexed and crawled by gg, it doesn't matter if you change or revised the content, but deleting it. and putting it again,, will harm your site, and its hard now to know if you got supplemental result, so better to compose a new article. thats is for thinking.
