Entry #166 / 700 · Chapter 4 · 4.2 Refreshing, pruning and topical authority · Read in Chinese →
In one sentence

Improving pages that already exist in order to raise position, traffic or conversion.

Analogy Mental model

Renovating an old house. Same address, same structure, new paint, new wiring, better furniture.

In practice What you actually do

Start with pages sitting between eleven and twenty, because they already carry signal and only need to be better than the nine above them. Update the facts, add the missing subtopic, rewrite the title for clicks, add internal links from stronger pages.

Where people get burned Pitfalls

Rewriting a page that already ranks well is a gamble with no upside. Change one variable at a time, watch the position for two weeks, and be ready to revert, because a large rewrite can lose what was working.
