Blog Repost?

[seointern]

We are a coupon site & occasionally have some updates to certain coupons that we post (maybe 24-28 hours after the original post). Is there any best practices to follow for reposting content? Here are a few thoughts:

• Would it be ok to use the same post, but just re-schedule it again to go out with the new updates?

• Should we create a new post & just reference the previous post?

I simply update the content of the post and change the date/time.

This works if you do not have date or time as part of the post URL.

Interesting, I've never thought about doing that.

So are you updating a 1 page post then re posting the same update article?

Are you using wordpress?

So, you aren't duplicating the content, your just reposting it so its higher date of being posted is updated?

Is that correct or am I being stupid here lol?

I have a Google News blog site, I am wondering would repostinng have the same effect or would Google just ignore it as it sees the same URL?

This is what I do.... mine are usually recycled a few weeks later instead of hours later.
