Recycling Old Content

We are now living in an era where everyone is being urged, with gusto, to recycle and do your bit to help save this slowly decaying planet of ours. Personally I don’t know how washing out a couple of jam jars a week will help, but that is for my personal blog.

I was sitting here this morning when I thought to myself:

“This blog is my whole world, why can’t I do some type of recycling thing to help her in the future.”

And then it suddenly dawned on me that I do have something that I can recycle, the content of the blog.

Now I know that a lot of you will be shouting that reusing your content is dangerous to my blog and could make the mighty Google overlords crash down upon me and take away my rankings in their search engine, but hear me out.

My plan isn’t to republish old content on this blog, far from it. My plan is to take old content, give it a bit of a clean up, and then submit them for publication on article directory web sites in a bid to drive more traffic to this blog.

Has anybody tried this kind of thing before? I’d welcome your comments on the subject.
