That blog post you published two years ago? The one that used to rank on page one and drive hundreds of visitors every month?
It’s probably dying a slow death right now.
Welcome to content decay—the silent killer of organic traffic.
What Is Content Decay?
Content decay happens when previously high-performing content gradually loses its rankings and traffic over time. It’s not a sudden drop; it’s a slow fade that many marketers don’t notice until it’s too late.
The causes are predictable:
- Statistics and data become outdated
- Industry trends shift
- New competitors publish fresher content
- User expectations evolve
- Search algorithms prioritize recency
According to research, the average piece of content loses 50% of its traffic within 12-18 months if not updated.
