Yes I need to write more evergreen content, but I am finding it trickier to rank for keywords, I'll check out your article. When it is something that is just hitting Google Trends and not much competition I find it easy to rank for.

Hi EliteWriter I think usually we are very familiar with evergreen word. Generally evergreen means never be old always looking as like fresh and new. So, evergreen content manes a content which never be old and always looking new and very attractive for user. And never go out of date that always relevant. And ever green content consider long lasting and sustainable for user. Some topic of ever green content, for example job and career related content part of ever green content. Beside, if your content regarding weight lost, food and pet related and such type of content consider as evergreen content. As a example we can say wikipedia one of the best evergreen content site.

You should be focusing more on evergreen niches instead of evergreen content ;) If you focus on an evergreen niche your content will always be relevant

News websites pull in traffic to all their articles no matter the time of day, month or year because they covered real time events that are part of history. Try to find something that hasn't changed much in the past and writer your content around that. This was what a lot of website owners did and they've been pulling in traffic from articles they wrote over 10 years ago

If you're only focused on your main niche, which may not be evergreen, you'll want to focus on a few things.

1. Type of Content:

FAQs are a great way to generate evergreen content because people are always looking for answers to their questions.
“How To” Guides can generate a good amount of traffic over time because people are always looking for a guide to basically hold their hand through the process. Taking your time on a "How To" guide and making sure it's detailed can help you stay evergreen and also get a good amount of shares.
Tutorials help people similar to the "How To" guides. People just want help and a tutorial is live experience put into text of video form.

2. Rotation:
Program a script, or have one programmed, that will rotate your blog posts or pages in a section of your website. This will get your old content pushed to the top and people will comment on it to make it fresh again

There may even be something out there that is already pre coded that you can buy or download for free that would do this.

3. Dates and Time Stamps:
Avoid dates and time stamps if you're trying to make evergreen content. If someone sees that a post if from 2 years ago they'll instantly think it's old and they won't want to read it. Make your content seem like you just wrote it by not adding time stamps.

Evergreen contents are the contents that were useful and relevant yesterday, useful and relevant today and will continue to be useful and relevant tomorrow. Evergreen contents never dies and will continue to attract traffic. For example, you publish article titled "Herbal Remedies for Heart Diseases." This topic will never die, it will be useful even 20 years latter.

To be honest, evergreen content is not clear to me likewise with evergreen niche. What I understand of it is that a particular topic or subject matter remains relevant and interesting for a longer time, just like food that does not spoil. But it is easier said than done for right now I cannot think of an evergreen content. My favorite niche is pets and maybe dogs can be considered an evergreen content since dogs don’t get out of fashion ever since I was born.
