How to keep your web content fresh ?

At the launch of a new site all your content is fresh. But after some time when you moved on to other pages, how do you keep you content fresh ? This is obviously needed for google to keep linking this content.

How can you realize this with the least effort

 

I use zen-cart script to build my own sites. It has a built-in feature to display random products on your homepage. It works nice for this purpose.

Content freshness is overrated IMO.

 

you can update your content on a periodic basis. if you have a blog, then your homepage always get fresh content as soon as you publish a new post. if you have a site, you can attach a blog to it and import the RSS feed to your homepage under a recent blog section (assign a block for recent blog feeds on your homepage. you will need custom PHP coding for that. there are some applications that import the feed from your blog to your main site but i havn't found an easy one to deal with, just find the custom coding to be easier for this). just couple of ideas

 

Content freshness is over-rated. You will do just fine with updating your blog posts once a week and your site say once in a month or two months.

 

add one article or blog post weekly, it will keep your website fresh all the time and crwlers will visit you often.

 

buy some articles for your website

 

What is your site built with? Wordpress? Something else?

There are 100 answers to your question. The issue is that your question is incomplete.

Methods to keep a page fresh really depend on what platform you build your website on. Know what I mean?

 

check out some of the automated seo software that generates content

 

use a php script and embed rss content from sites with news on a niche like yours

 

just make your content fresh by adding a post trice a week or daily.

 

Make daily article, if you little lazy just buy it.

 

If your blog has a fanbase. Then you can ask them to write little articles for you. ;0

 

"Freshness" has little if any affect on rankings. The main thing "freshness" does for a site is to make the search engines crawl your site more often. This is good because it allows you to get new content crawled and indexed faster.

Old pages often rank well for many years without a single change. The only reason I would mess with the content on an old page once it is ranking well is 1) if the search engine's algorithms change in regards to on-page SEO factors or 2) the actual content is no longer true or is out-dated.

The best way to keep your site "fresh" is to add new pages. This gives the engines new pages to discover and index each time they return AND it gives your site another opportunity target and rank for new keyword phrases. They try to find a balance between your content generation rate and their crawl rate.

 

Use a blog and a Twitter feed on your homepage. However freash new content is over-rated as you need static content so Google nows what the page is about!

 

Yes, I use wordpress for the site and for blogs. The issue is that I would like to automate the content refreshment as writing blogs every week for every blog is a hassle (yes, I´m a lazy....).

1. Obviously I could write a set of blog posts and post them periodically and/or add pages to my site
2. RSS feeds of related news blogs to my site (is that enough to get my site regularly indexed....and has this any value or doesn´t that do anything with the google ranking).
