Affiliate Quick Tips – Recycle Old Blog Posts With Timestamp Plugin
Quick Tips, Wordpress Add comments
Hey guys, I’ve been tinkering with the Scheduled Post Shift timestamp plugin for the last few weeks so thought’d I’d share it on here.
This plugin will take the timestamp of your oldest post and make it look like your latest post. I was a little concerned about this plugin (I was a little concerned Google might take umbrage at such tactics) so I tested it on two older sites of mine that have bags of content but have been sadly neglected for the past year or so.
Both sites had an upturn in traffic, one around 15% the other around 30%. I’ve been running the plugin on one of them for around 3 months and no signs of anything other than positive effects.
If any of you guys try it out do please let me know how you went with it as my two sites aren’t really enough of a sample to definitively say this plugin has a positive effect.
Happy blogging

Quite a good idea, would be better if it unpublished the article say a week before though and then republished with a new date. I guess either way it isnt duplicate content though as the original post is at a guess removed?
Could work quite well with generic non time related posts.
I’ll add that to my list of useful plugins
