I am trying to get some understanding how much of an advantage in the serps Google gives to sites that update content frequently. Have any of you had first hand experience at increasing the frequency at which you add content and seen a jump in serps? Is there for instance a large advantage for adding content daily over weekly?
On one of my new site I add twice a week & it's fine. On a big older site I add everyday. It's depends on Google crawl rate on your site.
fresh content does helps a little. and updating weekly is recommended. i doing this for 10 of my blogs. lots of writing each week.
A blog that attracts a lot of repeat visotrs will need frequent updating. Th emore you update the better because you habve more content for search engines to add to their indexing. Do make sure its good content though.
Well, for blogs, I would say updated once per week is way too low. I update almost once a day or when busy, once in two days.
There is no need to add regular updating of content. U just need quality content so that u get better ranking.
I add articles two or three times a day. If I don't I hear about it in the comment box or email The site averages 5000 per day
me: daily - seems to be pretty good number. Some top technorati blogs update like 10 or more times per day
my forum's get update in content everyday of course - my blogs i try to update every day or every other day, max every 5 days, i had to do that when i had my exams and stuff
The more frequent you update your content the more visits you will get from the bots On places like forums (DP) for example the bots practically live here because the content is always updating.
My site has thousands of pages and I am usually updating/improving some part of the site on a daily basis. I'm getting crawled daily by Google, but because of the number of pages I have they might not hit the page I updated for a few days. The home page is rarely updated. Should I be focusing on adding new content there and on the top level pages?
I would do both, dont forget to update your homepage, after all its the first page your visitors see.
