Should you remove
date from blog posts?
“Should I remove date from blog posts?”
- I often get asked
Here’s come two types of content
Timeless or evergreen content
And, timely content
Evergreen content is something that applies
no matter when it is read
Timely content is more like news and stuff
that goes invalid or useless at a later date
Opinions are varied as to
why should one think about
including or excluding dates in blog posts
Some readers might be turned off to see a post without date
Why should we worry about the date in blog posts?
There are reasons

Now let’s get to the debate part
Is removing date from blog posts
ethical?
First of all, even though I am tempted to think that
my content is evergreen
Not all of my blog posts are evergreen
(let’s be honest here)
If I want to make sure that
my readers get up-to-date
information
I should go back
and
edit the posts quite often
That takes a lot of time
and effort to maintain the blog
Let’s say I discuss a SEO tip
or a strategy in my post
And let’s say the Google gods
roll out a new update
… which turns the tables
upside down
… and my SEO tip now becomes a no-no
A random reader who reads
the post after the major
search engine update
applies the strategy
I discussed in my
undated post.
And oops,
he gets slapped by Google.
Get it?
So should I keep the dates
or remove them?
Yes and No.
I’ve got a round about way to do this!
