So I have a niche site that caters to a small audience in the dating advice segment.

It worked all right for a while, and even was showing up in the first 5 results on Google for specific keywords in that segment.

A while back, it started having problems with missing links due to a faulty/deleted plugin. (I use Wordpress with modified free themes and plugins)

Ok, so after a year and a half of not showing up on Google, I decided that the best course of action was to just delete everything and redo the whole site.

My question is this, what would you guys recommend I do with the old posts?

There are not many of them, perhaps 60-70 posts published in an 8 year period. (So, less than 10 posts per year)

Im keeping most of them since they are good content, but im editing them to keep make them fresh.

Should I leave them as they are, re-publishing them with their original dates, categories, and tags?

Should I publish them as if they where new, updating dates, categories, etc..., and space them out over a couple weeks/months?
 


By the way, this is my first post, so thanks for having me.
