Great idea to give life to old posts. Generally people don't browse the blog to find what they are looking for. I click on tags to see what I like to read. Another way to give life to your old posts is to interlink them. Like wikipedia, you may link internally with other relevent posts. Three to four links will work best for you as well as to the readers.

Great post and very happy to have found your blog today. Getting life out of content that you put a lot of work into, months or years ago, is like recycling on the web. Very smart and any tips to help get that accomplished are very helpful indeed.

Two questions if I may..

1. Does the search work only by title or does it look at the post body also?

2. have you tried both Google search and WP search? I've heard conflicting reports as to which is more accurate. I realize Google pays out some pennies, but search accuracy would be more important…at least to me.

I have discovered that my regular visitors tend to stay on the first three pages on my blog. They dig very little and dont even use the "recent posts" and " related posts" links. What most readers do instead is to use the custom Google search I embedded at the beginning of the theme. I think the little "Google" icon grab their interest and attention. Anyway if your blog is well crawled and with good keywords you should get people reading your old post cause they come from Search engines

As a new blogger, I have learnt great tips how to find useful info from Google search box. This has given me confidence to answer queries put up by subscribers.

Thank you Yuwanda for sharing!

Very good points. As a web designer, I've installed the Google search box (they call it 'Google Site Search') on many of my client's websites, but never thought about using it this way. I suppose I don't get nearly the volume of inquiries for archived information that you do, but it can't hurt. Also, I'm a big fan of the site LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com – always great for that person in your life that asks lots of questions…

Great post Yuwanda….I have two old sites with a lot of valuable articles buried 4-5 layers away from the homepage. I had been thinking about how to reclassify them without breaking the link structure or damaging search rankings and you have just offered me a great way to put it all together.
