Most of the webmasters don't take care of their old blog posts
especially when they are publishing a lot of content consistently. The
more promptly you publish, the less time you will get to revive your old
content. And this is a fact that no content is evergreen, sooner or
later every post hat you publish will get expired. Specially when you
are working on a niche like technology, SEO , blogging , or news your content will expire for sure.
But According to me old posts or content is valuable like a gold nugget
buried in ground, and it is a lot more easier to revive old content then
writing a whole new post. Would you dare to leave a gold nugget buried
in ground?, and the answer is "No". Then why we should leave our
valuable content abandoned while you can earn good money.
