I try hard to update each blog at least once per day.  There are many obvious reasons for this.  Blogging at least once a day tells Google of course that yes your blog is updated with fresh content each day and therefore probably deserves a better page rank. 

That is precisly the reason I am writing this post,  to tell Google, hey, I updated today!  Not only that but to give out a little tidbit of device that will help any blogger. 

Only updating three times a month? That is not enough.  I have blogs like that.  You know what happens? They slowly fall in the search engine rankings, and eventually lose lots of traffic.  As soon as I start reposting, they slowly rise.  Why is that? Google loves fresh content… and so do your readers…
