    I am trying to add to my page a date code that will update everyday at a specific time. I believe there is some seo benefit to this. Are there other, better methods to for SEO on a home page that lacks content?

    Yeah, add some content! :D

    I don't think updating a date on your site every day is going to seriously affect your search results.

    The home page is not really set up for content addition, it is more of a gateway page to other pages.

    At that gateway page use normal text, your required keyword and link it to other pages that will help.
    dont think date can help you.

    Not sure exactly what you are asking for. But to display the date all you need to do is:

    <?php echo date ("date format here"); ?>
    goto www.php.net for list of date formats.

    Then you can add a simple PHP if statement to execute the query for updating the date at a spacific time

    Hope this helps
