Changing your website

So you finally got your website right where you wanted it, it's time to kick back and watch the money roll in right? Wrong!

One of the things I've noticed long before I knew what the initials SEO stood for was that google loves a page that is constantly updating, and hates stagnate pages.

For example, www.coracts.com move fast up the rankings when I was putting new information on it weekly. Probably the fast moving website I've ever dealt with. But every week, and sometimes every day I was updating that website, and google ate that up. I did this for 5-6 months.

Now that the website is 'where it needs to be' it's starting to fall. So what to do?

One you can add new material, and especially new pages. Google LOVES it when you have more pages. The more pages you have, the more interenal links you have back to your home page, and the happier google is. It makes google feel like the website is current, and worth visiting.

The second thing you can do is change just little bits. Maybe ad a paragraph an then upload it. Again, if it is fresh, google is happier to visit than to see the same date/time stamp, or the same exact image it has cached.

This week I've been updating the stories page on my www.bouncintatas.com site. Google has been having a feild day. Why? Well lets start with what I just said, it is fresh and new to google. Second, because they are stories, they are primarily words. Google loves words more than anything else, it can read words and index them. So once I finish with the 40 or so stories (each with a link back to the story page and home page) the website will look like 50 pages of hot adult topics. Good for the website!

So keep your material fresh, let's make some changes, add a page or something along those lines, and get your rankings up.
