Pillar IV: Prioritize fresh content. Ah, those search engine bots have that lean and hungry look. That's because they want content that is fresh—and place a higher value on it when indexing pages. Therefore, I implore you, commit to updating your site weekly or daily, if possible.
If you're usually too busy attending chariot races or invading Britain to invest time into maintaining your site, as I was, you may consider enlisting a content management system (CMS) such as WordPress. CMS's allow virtually anyone in your organization who can use a computer to simply create, edit and place Web content in a slew of forms: a tip-of-the-week box, a blog post, a news release.
