Fresh page content via random paragraph generation, good for ranking?

Google loves fresh content and pages which are constantly updated, would it therefore help my ranking if each paragraph of my article had two versions and one was randomly selected (via php) each time the page was loaded. This would appear to the googlebot that my page is constantly being updated when in fact each paragraph is alternating between two (or more) versions. Is google to cunning and would realize what I am doing or is this a valid approach?
There would be no impact on the user as the content would be very similar (eg sentence re-arranged) and the content is good quality.

Thanks for you time to read my question!

    I wouldn't suggest doing it. It seems to spammy, might confuse Google and therefore might hurt your rankings. Instead just build new pages on your site.

    Perhaps not everyone knows that some Google search patents, there are publicly available. After reading them, you can imagine how their search works.

    As for your question, you'll find more reliable information if you visit patents search page > Google and hit in search box "content update frequency google".

    Himself read and can say it is not good idea to update the content randomly.

      Thanks for the advice!

      So completely random is not the way to go but if I limited the change to every 12 hours (based upon am/pm) this would not look so bad.

        Not sure if this is useful to anyone but my little code for AM/PM selection

        <?
        //identifies if it is am or pm must be small a
        $num = date('a');
        //Based on am or pm switches the statement
        switch ($num)
        {
        case am:
        echo "It is the morning great time for working";
        break;
        case pm:
        echo "It is the afternoon great time for the pub!";
        }
        ?>


        If any professional coders have a better way I'd love to know

          I wouldn't do it on my money sites, but I'd definitely test it out on my T1 or more likely my T2 backlink sources.

          But change your code to alternate every 2 weeks or maybe even monthly to be safe. I've done various tests to figure out just how frequent 'fresh content' needs to be to gain maximum value vs effort.

          If you're not a blog, then once a month is enough. If you're a blog, then once every 2 weeks. Setup your script to change monthly (if $month/2 = odd, then A, else B).

        Do you expect Google to visit your page every 12 hours?

    Well, I can't comment on that never tried to do such thing !! Well, I am sure Some testing could probably get the correct answer. Let just hope other warriors have the answer to it . In my opinion it would be much better if you update the full fresh content rather than updating half new and half old..... ????
