Republishing posts

Hi to all,

If we delete a post from a blog then rewrite it with more content will google consider it duplicate content or should we add 301 redirect?

Masonman,

You should not delete the post. 301 redirect it to the new content. This way you will maintain link juice and any traffic receive to the old content will then be directed to the new.

Thanks,

I would not delete.  I would not redirect.  I would publish the improved post on the original URL.

Don't disrupt your assets.

We are always improving our content.  Doing a major rewrite of a couple articles per week now and will not finish for a couple years.  All of this stays on the same URL.
