[Oct 26, 9:00 AM] graceandvine: Welcome everyone! As you jump in, be sure to download the worksheet and spreadsheet under the video. Liz will reference them in the presentation 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Brittany Roche: Woo hoo! So excited for this presentation!
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Xristianna Papalexopoulou: Thanks @Madison!
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Samantha Garner: Good morning!
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] spabettie: GOOD MORNING!
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Liz Falcigno: Hi Everyone!! Welcome! Please ask ANY questions that come up. I’m an open book and want to help you 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Sherri Sage Hall: Good morning! 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] Gitta Grether-Sweeney: Hi Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:01 AM] TarynS: Yay Liz!! Looking forward to this!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] graceandvine: Oh PS! there’s a volume button that’s part of the chat if you want to mute the notifications 😉
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Guest3421: Hi
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Liz Falcigno: Hi!! Lots of familiar names and faces 🙂 love that!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] peachhtreee: hi Liz!!!!!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: Hello Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Flour de Liz: I’ve been updating so much old content since your Feb presentation! It’s been a huge help in keeping content fresh! Looking forward to learning more today!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] peachhtreee: CANT WAIT !!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Karissa Parrish: Super excited for this video!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Karen Puleski: It is so fun though, LOL!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Flour de Liz. – LOVE to hear that!! Woo!!
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Liz Falcigno: @karen Puleski – I think it’s fun too 😉
[Oct 26, 9:02 AM] Skye Haas: Hello
[Oct 26, 9:03 AM] Camille K: So excited!
[Oct 26, 9:03 AM] Mireille Roc: I remember – I have so much old content that needs to be updated like this
[Oct 26, 9:03 AM] Guest3421: how do i change my sign in?
[Oct 26, 9:03 AM] graceandvine: You should be able to click the gear icon 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:04 AM] Hari Chandana Ponnaluri: Hello everyone!
[Oct 26, 9:04 AM] Mireille Roc: Some I am deleting and only updating if I feel is a great recipe and has some traffic or social sharing
[Oct 26, 9:04 AM] Samantha Garner: I have posts to update this week, great timing
[Oct 26, 9:04 AM] Cookilicious: That is what I do too
[Oct 26, 9:04 AM] Liz Falcigno: Hi @Mireille – We will get into this later on how to decide what to update. stay tuned for a feew more minutes!
[Oct 26, 9:05 AM] Samantha Garner: I love the napkin photo Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:06 AM] Jenna Owens: Hello!
[Oct 26, 9:06 AM] Guest3421: while updating old posts is it ok to tweak the keywords as well related to its title?
[Oct 26, 9:06 AM] Skye Haas: @samantha right!
[Oct 26, 9:06 AM] Mireille Roc: yes absolutely that is me!
[Oct 26, 9:07 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: I have SO many posts to update since I started as a hobby so photos aren’t great! So much work to be done
[Oct 26, 9:07 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Guest3421 – yes. Stay tuned – we’re going to talk about this in a bit when we talk about how to update your old content 🙂 you should definitely be adding in more keywords if necessary/if you hadn’t worked on SEO in the past!
[Oct 26, 9:07 AM] Lisa Johnson: Good morning!
[Oct 26, 9:07 AM] OvenHug: Good morning lovelies! 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] graceandvine: Morning Lisa and Bita 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] OvenHug: Hi Liz, this is my 2nd time joining you – I figure the more the better, sinks in this old noggin’ better 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] OvenHug: Hi Madison!
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Mireille Roc: I have been reshooting like crazy but the time it takes to edit plus still try to put out new content 1-2x a week I have about 20 posts with new pics but yet to update
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Skye Haas: @ovenhug agreed
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Samantha Garner: How do you balance updated content vs new recipes
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Camille K: Definitely have some work to do!
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Skye Haas: more the better and it sticks better
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Anna Hettick: Hello!!
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] graceandvine: Samantha, she does talk about that towards the end 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] Mireille Roc: rewriting for SEO is time consuming compared when we used to just write
[Oct 26, 9:08 AM] OvenHug: indeed!
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] TKGarten: I second Samantha’s question
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Anna Hettick: So excited for this presentation!
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: Is it OK to do this incrementally? Like, if I’m making something that needs new photos…just take them and insert…but then go back and do the SEO and republish another date…or is it best to republish when you can do the whole shebang.
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Liz Falcigno: Keep watching – I talk about all of this in the presentation (about how to balance old vs new)
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Anna Hettick: I LOVE repurposing old content!
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Skye Haas: Someone I follow she changed from her original website and she showed a instagram story of her old content and she cracked me up talking how “embarrassing” it was
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] OvenHug: still figuring out most efficient way to do this – I’ve started focusing on one thing, for example updating images or just adding video.
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Anna Hettick: Plus then all my old gross photography (and writing) gets fixed!
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] OvenHug: redoing everything including retesting old recipes is so time consuming but also very rewarding. better is better!
[Oct 26, 9:09 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Debra – you can totally do it broken up.. some parts now, some parts later, or you can overhaul the whole post- its really up to you!
[Oct 26, 9:10 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: thanks
[Oct 26, 9:10 AM] Samantha Garner: Debra, I like to update things as I make them naturally in our meal plan
[Oct 26, 9:10 AM] Samantha Garner: I’ll update photos when I’m already making them so it’s less stressful
[Oct 26, 9:10 AM] Skye Haas: @debra someone I follow she updates old posts and aims for 2 a month.
[Oct 26, 9:10 AM] Mireille Roc: i was doing that for a while but some “expert” said you have to make sure to always have new content so I started doing at least 1 new post a week
[Oct 26, 9:11 AM] Mireille Roc: this is so good to hear as I have over 1k recipes but at least 2/3 needs to be updated
[Oct 26, 9:11 AM] OvenHug: The part that is still confusing to me is revising and clicking ‘update’ – that’s how I used to do it, ‘update’ ‘update’ vs using the ‘revision’ button and how to deal with using the old link… that’s the part that still has to sink in this old noggin’ 😉
[Oct 26, 9:11 AM] Samantha Garner: When do you update seasonal content? Right after the season or right before?
[Oct 26, 9:11 AM] Liz Falcigno: @OvenHug – I don’t use the revision plug in, I just update it in the post.
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Samantha I try to update seasonal content 3 months before the season.
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] graceandvine: I wouldn’t do RIGHT before, you want to look at trends of when those posts are starting to be searched.
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] Skye Haas: @samantha as a consumer I’d prefer updated before not after
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] graceandvine: But doing it after isn’t a bad idea either !
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] graceandvine: It just won’t benefit you until the next year 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] Liz Falcigno: ^^ exactly!
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] OvenHug: Really Liz? Oh!
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] HeatherMcCurdy: I’m a few minutes behind but oh man! YEEEESSSS to “Don’t look at my terrible images form X.”
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] OvenHug: That is easier. Is there any fault to updating too many times?
[Oct 26, 9:12 AM] OvenHug: I’m always afraid of not saving so sometimes I over click update
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] Samantha Garner: thank you!
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] Mireille Roc: question I have never gotten a straight answer to – do you update and change publish date or as long as you have revised date plugin dont change date?
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] Liz Falcigno: @OvenHug – I’m sorry but I don’t know thee answer to this
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] Samantha Garner: I never use the revisonize plugin, I don’t understand the point?
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Mireille we will talk about that. I usually change the date.
[Oct 26, 9:13 AM] OvenHug: I think it benefits SEO using older links?
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Guest3421: If i touch my most popular post wouldn’t its ranking affect in google?
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Samantha – I agree. Some people fine it helpful – I think it’s just overcomplicating something/an unnecessary plugin
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Mireille Roc: also what is the best way to have google reindex since the function in google search console is currently suspended?
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Camille K: I love spreadsheets so excited for this one
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] OvenHug: Yes I’m afraid to change popular posts much…
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] OvenHug: Ones that pop up first page on Google searches…
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] OvenHug: should we?
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Liz Falcigno: @guest3421 – we are going to talk about this. stay. tuned, keep watching 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:14 AM] Liz Falcigno: @mireille – they’re working on this. there is no other way to get something reindeexed unfortunately
[Oct 26, 9:15 AM] Mireille Roc: ok tks liz
[Oct 26, 9:15 AM] Samantha Garner: Doesn’t google just re-index things naturally? I’ve never requested to have it re-indexed
[Oct 26, 9:16 AM] Xristianna Papalexopoulou: @Liz your work method is so organized! I will try to implement the same mentality right away:)
[Oct 26, 9:16 AM] Mireille Roc: @samantha I think only if you basically unpublish and publish – that is what I was doing before. switch to draft for ahot second and then publish
[Oct 26, 9:17 AM] Samantha Garner: ohhh okay yeah, I just update directly
[Oct 26, 9:17 AM] OvenHug: I’ll wait and see if we get to my points 😉 and be quiet now, lol
[Oct 26, 9:17 AM] Samantha Garner: if it’s a big change, I change the date and send it to the front page
[Oct 26, 9:17 AM] Omaily Lucas Mustiola: Loving all the info, Liz. I’m in the process of updating all my recipes so this is very timely
[Oct 26, 9:18 AM] Anna Hettick: Love your work process!
[Oct 26, 9:18 AM] Liz Falcigno: Sorry guys, trying to type as fast as I can/respond to everyone 🙂 I promise I will answer everyone’s questions. and if not within the hour- I’m actually chatting with Madison about doing a FB live so we can keep talking later today!
[Oct 26, 9:18 AM] Cookilicious: Should we touch the top peforming post?
[Oct 26, 9:18 AM] Samantha Garner: Good point if you have a #1 spot for a big post and only update it slowly
[Oct 26, 9:18 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Mireille – you should not be putting anything into draft mode. if you’re updating it, you should keep it live on your site.
[Oct 26, 9:19 AM] Mireille Roc: i stopped doing that once I started using revised plugin
[Oct 26, 9:19 AM] Samantha Garner: what’s a good CTR? mine vary
[Oct 26, 9:19 AM] Liz Falcigno: @OvenHug I don’t think it makes sense to update/reindex ALL the time. I don’t know that it will impact your rankings, but I don’t think that it is necessary. As for updating most popular posts – I will talk about this but you need to be VERY careful updating your most popular/high ranking content.
[Oct 26, 9:19 AM] Flour de Liz: Yikes, I didn’t know that. I’ve definitely switched posts to draft to update!
[Oct 26, 9:19 AM] Skye Haas: Oh good to know not to put in draft when revising
[Oct 26, 9:20 AM] Samantha Garner: I update my post in google doc and then copy and paste into WP so I just update it all at once.
[Oct 26, 9:20 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Cookilicious – @Samantha – any time you are updating a SUPER high traffic/high ranking post you are taking a risk. I do update those posts from time to time but it is only MINOR updates, and then I watch to make sure that the search performance isn’t decreasing
[Oct 26, 9:20 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Samantha CTR on what?
[Oct 26, 9:20 AM] Samantha Garner: sorry CTR in GSC
[Oct 26, 9:20 AM] Samantha Garner: for organic traffic
[Oct 26, 9:21 AM] Samantha Garner: like if I’m #2 for a post but I have terrible CTR, should I update it
[Oct 26, 9:21 AM] Mireille Roc: its amazing how little some know about cooking. I write recipes like I’m teaching a 5 year old to avoid a lot of questions and confusion
[Oct 26, 9:21 AM] Liz Falcigno: I don’t know the there is a straight answer for that, and I’d actually. be curious on that too. That would be a question for Ty Kilgore. He’s an SEO expert. 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:21 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Mireille absolutely!!
[Oct 26, 9:21 AM] Samantha Garner: Thanks! I’ll keep that in mine
[Oct 26, 9:22 AM] Samantha Garner: mind
[Oct 26, 9:23 AM] Flour de Liz: Sorry, you might have already answered this, but do we do the indexing for new posts and updated posts, or only updated posts? And do we do it for every post? I’ve never done this process, so I’m wondering if I need to go back and do this, or when to take this step going forward
[Oct 26, 9:23 AM] Mireille Roc: @flourdeliz – indexing you only hve to worry about for updated posts
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Flour de Liz I usually just submit something to be indexed after I update it. Currently – you can’t use this feature in GSC because it is being updated. When I recorded this you could use it
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Mireille Roc: google naturally indexes new posts
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Liz Falcigno: yes^
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] OvenHug: Yes I’m very anxious for the Ty workshop! Lots of questions… key words, different spellings of ethnic dishes and foods. Thanks Liz! Your input is super helpful and important. hugs
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: How many revised posts is OK in a row before new
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Liz Falcigno: 23:10 – listen if you don’t know if you should update something or not
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: Thanks….
[Oct 26, 9:24 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Debra – I don’t think there is a limit, IMO.
[Oct 26, 9:25 AM] Liz Falcigno: new content is great but old content that is completely overhauled can basically be like new!
[Oct 26, 9:25 AM] graceandvine: Someone should ask Ty that! I’ve heard different things 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:25 AM] Flour de Liz: Thanks @Liz and @Mireille! So when it’s up and running again, should I go back and do that for every post I’ve updated this year?
[Oct 26, 9:25 AM] Liz Falcigno: @fllour de liz – if you updated things months ago chances are it was already reindexed
[Oct 26, 9:25 AM] Samantha Garner: I love the “unique tips” part Liz! That’s a great way to show what yu’re about
[Oct 26, 9:26 AM] Zona Maree: Request indexing is temporarily disabled.
[Oct 26, 9:26 AM] Guest3421: Would it be possible for you to elaborate a bit on the strategies that we should adopt on updating the most popular posts in our blog.
[Oct 26, 9:26 AM] Liz Falcigno: @ 24:40 you can no longer do this in google search console. they have temporarily. disabled this feature ,when I recorded this it was working – sorry!
[Oct 26, 9:26 AM] Liz Falcigno: hopefully it will be up and running soon
[Oct 26, 9:27 AM] Anna Hettick: YES!! Sometimes I get stuck on how to update content! Love the list of new questions to ask!
[Oct 26, 9:27 AM] Flour de Liz: Thank you, @Liz! I update old recipes all the time since watching your last presentation. It sounds like I can just hold off on this step until it’s up and running, and then only do it going forward, and that over time my updated posts will automatically get re-indexed. Thanks so much for all your help!!!
[Oct 26, 9:27 AM] Liz Falcigno: ^ great plan!!
[Oct 26, 9:28 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: I have errors on GSC saying I’m missing photos for recipes however I have a ton on my page as well as a featured photo so I don’t know what photo it’s referring to and I can’t figure it out
[Oct 26, 9:28 AM] graceandvine: Itaira – that means your recipe card is missing a photo 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:29 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: I actually have one in the card so that’s what’s throwing me
[Oct 26, 9:29 AM] Samantha Garner: I like to save updates for weeks that I’m busy or lazy
[Oct 26, 9:29 AM] Samantha Garner: if I just need to add a few things in, I’m still being productive but it isn’t as labor intensive as editing photos, seo, etc
[Oct 26, 9:29 AM] Mireille Roc: its only annoying when I dont like them
[Oct 26, 9:30 AM] TarynS: Yes, I need help with promotion. I don’t have a good system for it.
[Oct 26, 9:30 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: Where on the post (if at all) do you write “this post was republished from the original date….”
[Oct 26, 9:30 AM] Skye Haas: if you republish with a new date does the “old” version still show from way back when?
[Oct 26, 9:30 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: Good question @debra because when I update it stays with the same date. It doesn’t move to the front of the page with a new date
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] graceandvine: on average a consumer has to see an ad seven times before they notice it or purchase… your recipe is the ad >>> GOLD LIZ!
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Samantha Garner: You have to change it in WP on the right side
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Mireille Roc: i often post IG stories while I am making in behind the scenes
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: You have to atucally change the publish date
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Mireille Roc: so its already a little familiar when I have the post up to put in my feed
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Liz Falcigno: @debra I put it right under my first image/with my amazon disclosure – see example herehttps://thecleaneatingcouple.com/paleo-crockpot-pumpkin-chicken-chili/
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] Flour de Liz: Same for me @Itaira. I was always advised to keep the original date, so I did that, and then I just move it to the featured posts at the top of my homepage
[Oct 26, 9:31 AM] graceandvine: Itaira – have you reindexed the post? You should be able to still do that since there’s a warning.
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Liz Falcigno: thinking of it from a user perspective.. I don’t know that I would want to make a recipe that was shared 5 years ago.. I think the newer date makes it relevant
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: So you don’t state anywhere that original date?
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Mireille Roc: my ig feed is mostly old content as I post daily
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: LIke…..I made this even better and easier for you…
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Liz Falcigno: @debra look at the link. I write the year
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Samantha Garner: I’ve always thought about that, I’dprefer to make a recipe thats been updated in the last year or two personally
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Debra Rosenblatt Klein: Got it….thanks.
[Oct 26, 9:32 AM] Natalia Ilina: Thank you!
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Liz Falcigno: Honestly – no one is paying attention to the fact that you updated a post. 99.9% of people wont even know
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: I’ll try to reindex to see if that works. Thanks!
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Liz Falcigno: we overthink these things as content creators 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Megan Porta: Thanks, Liz!!
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Samantha Garner: I write “originally published on xx, updated with x yz on xx”
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] OvenHug: I’ve seen some bloggers share the original date but I don’t know if there’s any reason to do this… seems like fresher is better
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] Gitta Grether-Sweeney: Thanks Liz! Great info!
[Oct 26, 9:33 AM] LoriMurphy: Does Google count an update post as “new” if the date is changed? Sorry if I missed this…had to join later
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Samantha Garner: Liz, I appreciate you being so organized and sharing your process, this has been great! I update my posts but am not this organized
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Liz Falcigno: you need to reindex in google search consolie
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Kara Myers: Will this chat be able to be viewed later?
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] spabettie: thank you!!
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] graceandvine: @kara – Yes!
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Mireille Roc: i only note original date if there is something in the content where I feel it is important
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Kara Myers: I was too bus a thing to read through lol
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Liz Falcigno: everyone – I will be here until 12, so send over ANY. questions you have
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Amy Shen: This was super helpful, thanks Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Kara Myers: Omg autocorrect. Too busy watching*
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Flour de Liz: I definitely overthink a lot of this! Thank you Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:34 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: So if I change the republish date does that change any internal linking I’ve done? Because my links have the date in them. Or does it all update automatically?
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] graceandvine: Yes, if you have dates in your URL you do NOT want to change the date.
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] Karissa Parrish: This has been so helpful! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] Liz Falcigno: madison and I are also planning a FB live for later this week. would you be interested in planning how to update your content along with me?
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] TKGarten: Years ago, I’d read to remove dates from posts (since Google know when you posted anyway). Should I add them back on and note updates?
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] Liz Falcigno: @TKGarten are you referring to dates in URLs?
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] OvenHug: Yes Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] Mireille Roc: no not having dates is better as most of our content is evergreen
[Oct 26, 9:35 AM] TKGarten: No, but at the top of the post, under the title.
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] staceybrugeman: Thanks so much! -Stacey Brugeman, tuning in from rural Leelanau County Michigan
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] OvenHug: I need more hand holding – the dates, and links – a visual step by step would be super helpful!
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] graceandvine: I think it is better to have dates fr google 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] OvenHug: Yes to a live 🙂
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] LoriMurphy: wld love a live!!
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] Mireille Roc: @madison – dates in url?
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] TKGarten: Thanks!
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] Liz Falcigno: no to dates in URL (if you can) DO NOT remove them without setting up redirects. dates on the top of a blog post are fine
[Oct 26, 9:36 AM] graceandvine: Yes, within your permalink.
[Oct 26, 9:37 AM] Mireille Roc: wait a minute – getting 2 different answers here from liz and madison – which?
[Oct 26, 9:37 AM] Samantha Garner: Liz, do you ever touch old content that doesn’t get a lot of traffic or just delete it?
[Oct 26, 9:37 AM] Liz Falcigno: Madison and I are saying the same thing
[Oct 26, 9:37 AM] OvenHug: when is the live
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Mireille Roc: ok I guess I’m reading it wrong – so no dates in URL right cuz I had removed a few years back
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: I had no idea I had the option to take dates out of the permalinks when I started so they all have it. Now I want them out to not “date” the content but it seems like it would mess everything up and I’m scared to change it
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Liz Falcigno: @samantha – if it’s an old recipe that gets no traffic but I know it has potential/is a great recipe – I will update it. if it’s an old recipe that is terrible and getting no traffic I will remove it and set up a redirect to a similar recipe
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Samantha Garner: Thanks Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Anna Hettick: I love all this info so much!! So much actionable info!! My to-do list is increasing by the second! 🤣
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] Liz Falcigno: @Itaira you need to set up redirects before doing this.
[Oct 26, 9:38 AM] OvenHug: thank you!
[Oct 26, 9:39 AM] Susan Blades: Thanks for all the info, Liz!
[Oct 26, 9:39 AM] Itaira Shanice Clark: Is there a plug in you suggest Liz for redirects?
[Oct 26, 9:39 AM] Cathy Brak: I keep getting a Google warning, MainEntityofPage. Can anyone tell me what that means?
