An Answer From Another Forum

I wrote an answer to a similar query in another forum here on StackExchange and you can read it at Updating a Company Blog. And what follows are the main takeaways from that.

If Google Does It, You Should Too

Basically, while searching for a reference for my answer, I went to Google's Webmaster Guidelines and found an Update notice of their own. Now, I'm a pretty smart fella, so I reckon that if they do it that way it's probably a safe bet.

SEO Tips - How Not to Blow Your Search Ranking

1. DO NOT change your URL/Permalink! And if you do, BE SURE to use a 301 Redirect to avoid a 404-Page Not Found Error.

2. Use HTML to Scroll to Link on Same Page: This seems like the most efficient way to show an update by Noting the changes separately at the top as Google did, and link to the section that you updated down in the actual content.

3. Be Proactive in Your Keyword Use: Ensure that _DO NOT_ cannibalize your SEO for the page by losing your focus Keyword. If anything. you should add to the strength of the page SEO by tying in semantic keywords and synonyms of your focus keyword.

Let me know if this works for you, please.

ORIGINAL POSTING

This is a similar question to what I just answered in another Stack. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to it?

If an Admin says it's ok, I'll post the link which includes Google's answer to the question.

best of luck
