Personally, I remove post dates from all Wordpress themes so that content is evergreen. Works very well, however in this case you don't really have much control. You can redirect the July post to the August post but the July post is still the one that's actually ranking in Google. This may or may not change with time.

My suggestion is to update the July post with a link to the new August post containing the fresh coupon codes, that way when visitors land on your July post they won't be scared away by old coupons.

Q: How do I get the most current post to show up in Google?

Yea, there isn't much you can do other than optimizing the new page you want to rank in google.

Just use a 301 redirect to new page.

What I've done is:

1. Create a blog on blogger and link to the page I want google to find

2. Link to the page from social media forums (google is crazy about social media right now and crawls them enthusiastically)

3. Create strategic alliances (link exchanges) with sites that have high PR's and that are ranked high under the key phrases you are targeting

Author of ""

As someone said above, redirecting is an option.

However, here is what I'd do personally.

***Update: Find the latest working coupon codes on this page. Click here.***

(I would add this line at the beginning AND end of the post/page). This way you don't "lose" the ranking you already have, PLUS you are adding to your internal linking structure.

Thanks for all the responses! I never thought of doing a 301 redirect...would that cause me to lose ranking for the current post?

Also, I have another question. Should I even try to rank for a category, or should I just put all coupon codes on one page and rank for that? The reason why this is a tad complicated for me is let's say there are different type of titles I could have used to rank for the keyword:

Free Shipping
50% off coupon code
BOGO Deal

They are all very different and I don't know how it would work if I try to rank all of this one post versus a category. Does that make sense?

we cant do much about this actually once a post indexed then it takes time and we cant remove it manually.

"If you need to change the URL of a page as it is shown in search engine results, we recommended that you use a server-side 301 redirect. This is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page. The 301 status code means that a page has permanently moved to a new location." - Google

(Sorry, can't post direct links here yet)

Hope this helped!

As for your other issue, I don't think I got your question right. But if I had to try to answer, then I'd say that in my opinion, Google will favour a page with a ton of content over a page with a ton of links with everything else remaining constant.

So you could write something including ALL these KWs (they're LSIs, right?) and make a post/page along with the coupon codes.

Let me know if you need help with the 301 redirect thing.

IMO everyone is making this more difficult than what it needs to be.

Do just like does & rank a single page for only Godaddy coupons, the new coupons always stay at the top of the page.

Google likes pages that are updated & it just makes for easy work to rank that single godaddy page as the main page in the SERPs for your keyword (Godaddy).

Even If you only have a single coupon per month, the page would get updated 12 times a year, which is less work updating an existing page than creating 12 new pages.
