Neverending story blog post | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Today, I have up the requisite Memorial Day themed post, on frugal ways to celebrate the day of remembrance which has turned into a day of picnics. Moving forward, I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel every year, so I was thinking about republishing it every Memorial Day in the future. But instead of serving up stale content, I was thinking of expanding it a little bit each year. This year I have three tips. Next year I would add one to make it four (probably should have named the post slug better, oops). The year after, add a 5th. Maybe go a little faster and add 2-3 each year instead of just one. The idea would be to gradually expand my 750 word post into an epic whale post.

Has anybody ever tried anything like this? Has it worked for you or been a flop?

I'd be curious too if anyone's had luck from this. I've always wondered what happens to search results if a post gets republished with minor versus major changes to it. I don't sticky posts very often though or have many I can think of that I'd want to add on to every so often.
