Hi All
I recently started a hiking blog and I've been filling in my older hikes as well as the newer ones, going back and forth chronologically (New one together with instagram and flickr posts, then filling in the backlog of old hikes inbetween). Since I chose to have the date in the url structure (Wordpress), I thought I'd just publish those posts backdated to when the hike took place.
The reason I'm doing this is that the posts will be in the correct order, whereas if I always publish "now" the order will be all jumbled up.
Now I realize google likes fresh content more than old content, but do you think there's an actual negative effect of doing this apart from the content just not being fresh? Might the search algo think I'm up to some shenanigans with my post dating?
The alternative would be to switch the url structure to just post name, then fill in the date of the hike by hand every time and just publish "now", so the post will be fresh, but the hike is still archived correctly if sorted by name instead of publishing date. But it's a suboptimal solution.
