Recently I stumbled upon some nice articles about 'take care of your footer property' and added a mini-navigation to my footer which contains one column for home, archive, section, categories and one column for the five most recent articles. This way the most valuable readers which make it to the bottom of a page get some nice inspiration :-) The full article structure is now: <ul> <li>header (search, navigation)</li> <li>article title</li> <li>metadata (section, categories, keywords)</li> <li>article body</li> <li>article navigation (section, categories, keywords + related articles, tag cloud)</li> <li>comment section</li> <li>footer section (Google search, newsletter + links to: home, archive, sections, categories and one column for the five most recent articles)</li> </ul> The good old ‘related articles’ box is still the easiest way to go.

The full article structure is now:

  • header (search, navigation)
  • article title
  • metadata (section, categories, keywords)
  • article body
  • article navigation (section, categories, keywords + related articles, tag cloud)
  • comment section
  • footer section (Google search, newsletter + links to: home, archive, sections, categories and one column for the five most recent articles)

Layers of partially overlapping content coupled with deep-linking builds up your SERPs profile, and makes it easier for your readers to be exposed to older nuggets of content.

I didn't even consider this, but then there's plenty of stuff I haven't yet covered with my 101 list. I think I’ll do a revisit on some of my posts, see what could be doing with an updating.

Now the question is, since I have already wrote a post about the same topic, how could I add value to the new one? There are various lateral thinking tools available (Edward De Bono who coined this term and wrote a book about it - good read), and the one that I could suggest is to try the idea behind www.oneword.com. This is a simple website which shows you a random word and will ask you to write about it in 1 minute. Use the same idea for your post. I know that this is not 100% organic, but gives you a jumpstart to let your creative juices flowing. Even better, note down the brainstormed words in your scratch book and take a break. Do something different. And when you come back to write about the new post, your mind is fresh and gives you better associations. Any other creative ideas? expanding from Allen’s view, I would say that adding value to the new post will help you to expose the old one.
