How to Visitors to Read Old Blog Posts and HubPages
When posting a new blog post or HubPage most of us submit our links to Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, search engines and other media outlets.
After that sometimes a post lives out a life of it's own and becomes lifeless and unread. After all the work a person puts into a blog post or HubPage article how do you get visitors to view old posts and continue to in the future? How do you avoid having old content that no one ever reads? Here are a few ideas.
For HubPages there are many ways of making posts interesting and getting return visits.
- Refresh and update your Hubs from time to time. Some Hubs may get out of date and need some revisions and changes made to them.
- Post a blog or article linking to your existing Hub and letting other know about it.
- Re-Tweet your Hub with some additional information or questions
- Submit your Hub to Google Ping, search engines and other places
- Post your Hub link in forums when answering questions related to the hub.
- Add your Hub link to Newsletters
- Send your Hub links to friends and share with other Hubbers
- Create a best of list and post it on Web site such as Best-reviewer.com and other sites.

You have some great information here...so much in fact i will nhave to keep rereading it to absorb it.
You could give a seminar on all of the above. Great stuff here, very thorough. Thanks for the hub and the info. Just starting on the blogging thing and trying to get the hang of things.
Thank you for the great tips! I am definately going to try some of them.
These are great ideas. I am still fairly new to HubPages, but I can already see my hubs aging, and want to make sure they stay fresh for as long as possible.
marvelous article loaded with ideas thank you
Lots of information here! I will use these tips to help with some of my older and low read blogs.
Good information here. I have only been here 4 months, so I am still learning. I am also returning to some of the people I follow, reading and sharing some of their hubs also. I like to share and bring older hubs back up to the "front". You have some very useful information here! I am voting this up, useful and sharing this! Have a wonderful day! :)
I want to freshen up some of my older hubs, but am worried they will be flagged as duplicates and removed. How do I get around this? If I rewrite something, how much different does it have to be to be considered new? Do I delete the old one first and then post the updated one? Thanks for your help. -g

yes yes and yes, all these points are sooo valid. In fact getting a niche blog is the biggest way to make money, but it also allows you to be seen, but of course you need traffic and that is something which, as you rightly pointed out takes times and energy. Bravo and well done.
