Good news / bad news…
Looks like I’ve got to think of new things to add, but the results might be worth it.
It’s a hard road this SEO.
Thanks for sharing.

One way is to write blog posts that encourage comments from others on a frequent basis. Comments are content after all. Daily SEO Tip is a prime example of how to do this well.

You are absolutely right Loren, good fresh content will always be rewarded with good fast indexing, if you are one of the lucky ones it will be listed within minutes, i have not tested the speed of my indexing as yet but generally when searching for “my content” it is there within the hour.
Keep it fresh keep it simple
Good tip. One that daily>seotip.com should follow?
Just kidding, great site! Keep up the good work

One tip that I love is to add new content to old articles or old pages. Something like a PageRank page. Everytime that we see a pagerank update we update the pagerank page with some new info. This continues to drive quality traffic and boost our rankings.
I agree that fresh content on a consistent basis will help generate “interest” from robots and traffic on a site. However, it’s not just FRESH content that needs to be addressed, but FRESH AND RELEVANT content will generate increased quality traffic and better robot content aggregation. Relevancy of content will increase organic weight on internal and external links, and a consistent update on content that’s relevant to site business will also determine increase of quality traffic.
Great article…I am relatively new at all of this…the production side of the web. It makes sense…if you pick up a book and read it, next month it still says the same thing. How likely are you to read it again soon…Either you use it for reference as in the case of personal/self development where you integrate self progress with the book or you re-read, depending on what it is. I am getting closer to the point where I can release my sites. Thanks for the information.
Google is great because of it’s terrible algorithm. Another tip to make Google happy : “Try to avoid Duplicate Content.”
I use news as my fresh content source for Google and other search engines as well.
I could get some results out of this…
Using RSS/Atom feeds or Sitemaps is a good way to get them to your fresh content.
Also, a “news” section on the homepage with your most recent news entries can work well in many cases.
Ian Macfarlane’s last incredible blog post..Wolfram Alpha introduction webinar
Mange SEO firmaer påstår, at SEO processen i sig selv kan genere lønsom trafik. Dette er jeg ikke enig i, efter min opfattelse er SEO begrebet langt mere omfattende og kræver ekspertise fra flere områder end blot IT erfaring.

let´s see if it works… i´m gonna test it for sure.
Content is indeed king. The more relevant and USEFUL content that is added to your web site the more ‘enticed’ that Google is. Google wants to give users the most relevant results, so obviously, that is what it’s going to be searching for when it crawls your web site.
I apologize, I’m a newbie, but I’d really appreciate your feedback, What is a spider? Is it just the method they use to search for updated content?

A spider is just the search engines software that “crawls” through the billions of websites indexing information. A search engine spider will usually crawl your site regularly, hence the need to provide fresh, unique, relevant content… regularly.
I usually never add fresh content to my websites. It has never hurt me in my rankings. I just keep getting relevant links and writing articles. It’s worked for me. But to each his/her own.
how often do you thinks we should post fresh content – one a week, once every two weeks?
Strangely enough, since we’ve set up our blog on a subdomain, the number of indexed pages from the main site has almost doubled. That’s with 1-2 posts a week btw.
I’d also add that make the content worth actually reading, too many scammers out there with nonsense autoblogs.

Excellent article.
Two questions:
1) If I add 20 tags is that too much for google – is less better?
2) How do I add a feed right on site?
Thank-you
Fresh COntent = Fresh SERP
Got it… more SERP high Page Rank
I have a website that its content doesn’t change frequently. The site is about new organic skin care products. If I create a blog on google and add contents every week, how this will bring the site up in search engines? What kind of a content should I put in my blog. How much you can talk about how good is the products?
Can you help me please with that? Because I am desperatly looking for ways to bring the site ranking up and I am a newbie with SEO.
Thanks a lot
ok i am going to add a new blog as a subdomain to see if that really help!
The trouble is that I have an ecommerce site selling Catering Equipment and therefore the content is mainly static, how do you get googles spider interested in that?
