| Very true; I realized this myself a couple of months ago, and reorganized my blog as follows: - main page shows categories and a chronological list of posts (I don't post that often; if you do, maybe list the last 30-50 only ?) in the right sidebar - each category gets an index-page with introduction and 3 articles highlighted, and a a list of all articles in the category in the left sidebar. The highlighted articles (new and old) should change every now and then, maybe somewhat depending on "the latest fads" ? - most important (IMHO); go back to your old articles and update them, especially hyperlinks - this will also aid the discovery of "evergreen content" In addition, you should probably also use tags (I don't, but that's just because I'm lazy and don't have that many articles). You may also collect related articles in e-books (I've done it with one of the categories, but it is a lot of work) - less SEO value, but maybe more "reader value" ? (personally, for blogs like swombats and pg, I often follow the timelines and read through the old stuff, bookmarking or saving the "golden nuggets" once and for all) |
