Tips for Keeping Your Website Content Fresh

Keep your site fresh with new content every day! There are plenty of great reasons to keep your website filled with fresh content and sticky topics that keep visitors coming back for more. Who wants to read the same old thing, not the public and surely not the Search Engine Spiders. Fresh content and updates are some of the keys to keeping any website in the public view. Keeping your website or websites updates with new material can be a chore. It is important to keep your website updated with the latest and newest information, otherwise your competition will gain ground and your audience will not return. So how do you keep fresh content? There are several ways. - RSS Feeds with articles that are relevant to your websites theme. Probably the best way to do this is to have a second website that you control that generates these RSS feeds. Article-engine, offers a great script that you have ton's of categories and topics - each with their own RSS feed. If you have never dealt with RSS feeds you can hire someone to install them or use either the script or the service found at rss2html.com. If you have even a little experience with scripts you will find it works like a charm. - Open a Forum on your site, for open discussion. If you are using Phbb2's open forum script there is an add-on that allows you to have a Search Engine Friendly Archive. Services like Stmadeveloper can install these for you and provide you with a feed from your forum on your main site. It's a great way to keep both your forum active and fresh sticky content on your website. - Create a Blog and post theme related events and allow outside comments. One of the best things about most Blogging Scripts is that they actually generate RSS or XML feeds for your topics. Wordpress does this but so do many other Blog Scripts. You will still need to install the feeds onto your main site using something like rss2html.com or hiring a programmer to insert them into your site for you. Again - it's worth learning how to do it yourself. - Hire someone to write theme related topics, and manually place them on your website. Your still doing some work but you sure don't have to work as hard. We use Stmacontent.com to write both our articles and to provide us with full products and websites. Outsourcing can be a very lucrative way to get your content. There are numerous ways to keep your website up to date. It
