What should be the approach towards a content that needs to be updated?? - regp - 12-20-2019

Some old posts of mine gets pretty decent traffic. Even though they are outdated they still manage to get some hundred views from the search engines daily. Touching them will result in disrupting the good amount of traffic.

But I want to update the information as they are outdated heavily. What should be the approach here?

I don't see any problem here. Publish the re-written post. Then just link from the original one. Saying relevant pitch.

Keep the present post. Don't touch it. You might end up getting more than one position of the SERP's. Hearing by your situation my guess is that it will be pretty easy.

You can add some new content and rewrite some part of the old content

You can add content in the existing content and publish it.

Don't do anything with existing content, just add a new one!

This was one of the big changes we made in our approach to content at the beginning of the year, and our results have been spectacular.

@ClaudiaBrunson So after updating how was your site effected during the May and Dec updates?

And also can you explain your approach?!
