And one last tip: Don’t forget to look at your top performers from last April. Instead of publishing a brand new piece of content on the same angle, update last year’s. Make sure to improve it for the user with fresh images, new links, new products, fresh content and then update the date to this year. You can read more about maintaining blogs posts here.
