[Trush Jodie]

At different times, I have seen an old blog post of like three years since it was first published start ranking again on search engines. No editing or anything on the blog post.

What could he the reason that an old blog post just starts to rank again?

Just maybe Google has done an algorithm change that re-evaluate that blog post and finds it to be useful. And it ranks higher.

Search engines favor old content that is updated and relevant in the contemporary times. This is the reason why yiu might see old blog posts ranking.

The maze of re-ranking an old blog post without editing is like a desert when you suddenly get a new wind and the well is filled with water. Search engines change algorithms frequently and content can gain relevance again due to trends or new backlinks. When people start searching for that topic in large numbers, your blog will come back to the top without your effort. And as the Chinese say, a single drop of water can dig a stone, so one small click can completely change the visibility of a post and give you fresh traffic.
