Great ideas. I have been employing some of these techniques and it works great. Of course some blog posts are just hopeless so its best to pick some with potential or that got you some trickle traffic.

Another idea is to re-post the old post but with additional comments added in using italics. This way you can add it what you have since learned or just generally give yourself a hard time for writing such a boring post!

I think these are some great ideas. I think a thing to keep in mind is to rewrite posts that may have gotten you some traffic in the past. I always check what kw drew some traffic and either rewrite, elaborate or add more related to that topic.

I found you because I was googling “should I rewrite my blog posts with new keywords?” I am glad I stuck with my search for more than an hour tonight!

I have been pondering what to do about my posts.

I have 33 niche blogs on Blogger.

a) fix them with low-competition keywords (long tail)?
b) forget the old posts.
c) create only new posts with long tail keywords?
d) am I in need of medication?
e) best out of three?
f) all of the above?

I really enjoy reading your posts! Always so useful and interesting. Loved your list of causes for lousy blog posts. My favorite? The one on boring content. For sure nobody wants to read something that’s boring. That’s why good content is always something that is valuable, interesting, and helpful to the readers.
Can’t wait to read more of your posts! Keep up the good work. Thanks

Now there’s some food for thought! I’ve got a lot of old posts. People ‘back then’ liked them, but there are more people now. I’ve not really considered sprucing up old posts as an option — but now have much to consider.

Thanks!
All the best!
