Do Sites Need Fresh Content for SEO?

[peter men]

A lot of clients often ask me if they NEED a blog or fresh content added to their site on a regular basis to keep their rankings. The truth is you don't need to add new content to hold your rankings. Many sites stay static for years and hold onto their rankings with few changes ever being made.

You do need some relevant content and so I would always suggest having a minimum of about 6-12 good content pages on various topics or pages answering questions related to your niche. When adding content you should always try and add content that would be useful and informative for your readers.

Avoid adding content just because it targets keywords or because you think you need to add it. That being said, it is good to have a blog and fresh content because the more content you have, the more traffic you can potentially get.

Publishing quality articles in your niche can also help you establish yourself as a very knowledgeable industry leader, which can result in more business overall. Blogs and content are also a great way to take advantage of social media marketing with sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Votes on these sites are becoming signals to search engines of quality.

So simply put, having fresh quality content can be a great benefit and is highly recommend, but it is not necessary to achieve or to hold onto rankings for your main keyword phrases that you have optimized your home page and other core pages for.

In my opinion we have no need to upload fresh content on our site regularly. We should put unique and informative content one time. And the we should do off page optimization and in our off page techniques we should use fresh and unique content always. That will increase our website traffic or ranking on SERP.

You do want a number of applicable content and so I would at all times recommend having a least of about 6-12 decent content pages on a number of topics or pages retorting questions connected to your niche.

Totally, agree Petter. The fresh content is the way to get traffic from social media and gain the benefits of content marketing. Also, it tells the search engine that your website is fresh and please index faster.

With this indexing fast, you will gain more traffic from the organic search..!
