OLD Blog

Hello experts,

I had a wordpress blog that I was adding content to frequently. Then I left it for a long period of time.
I want to start a blog again in the same niche. Do you advise me to use the same old blog or start a new one?
From SEO perspective, would google rank an old blog if I start adding good content frequently to it or would it rank a new blog if I add the same content to ? Which case is better from SEO perspective?

Thanks a lot in advance

      I think you need to have a look at the backlinks and see how they might be seen under the new Google changes.

      Is the portion of relevancy a good balance?
      Have you over spammed the keywords in backlinks?
      IS there a good mixture of follow and no follow?

      Based on this then you might be better to start again.

      It seems harder to reapir something that google dislikes than build again.

      Also is is still indexed in google at all?

      Site:www.yourdomain.com

      Hope that Helps

        Sorry I forgot

        I try to use a ration of 50/50 or 60/40 for everything do follow/no follow relevant anchor text/ not relevant. etc.

        It seems to be working for me but hey experiement a bit.

          Google always prefers old domains/subdomains more over the new. Going with the old wordpress blog would be a good idea.
