Danny Goodwin with Jason Barnard - Updating content as an SEO strategy

Danny Goodwin with Jason Barnard at Kalicube Tuesdays

Danny Goodwyn talks to Jason Barnard about updating content as an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) strategy.

“If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written Less” Mark Twain

Search Engine Journal launched an SEO strategy based on updating older articles. To keep up with a changing world, and Google’s constantly algorithm, updating older content is a must. However, as discussed in this podcast it is important to understand when content should be reused and when it should be removed.

In this podcast, Danny goes into depth on why sometimes it is easier to look back and reuse old content rather than making new content. This helps avoid repeating the same content in different articles which will not only confuse the audience but also Google on what is most relevant. Competing with other brands’ content is already difficult enough so why compete with yourself?
