      Hello,
      i have a little question, it seems most of my posts which are 3 years old or even more, all have almost same type of 2-3 lines of text at post starting and then images roundups etc. 
      which recently stopped getting any traffic from google. Probably becuase of lack in text etc. 
      So if i now edit those old pages, will they be reindexed in google with this new content/data? 
      thanks in advance.
      cheers

        Instead of changing the text, I will recommend removing the whole content, edit it all and then post it again .

            Yes Ayaz, you have to edit out the content and Title ( include targeted keywords ). Don't change the URL as it might have some incoming links.

              • Hi - How do you get rid of duplicate content that was accidentally created on a tag url? For example, when I published a new article, the content was duplicated on: /posts/tag/lead-generation/

              • Should H1s be used in the logo? If they are and it is dynamic on each page to relate to the page content, is this detrimental to the site rather than having it in the page content?

              • Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
