I have a static website - THIS WEBSITE NEVER HAS ANY CONTENT CHANGE

my question is i want to make a rss.xml file - (basically an rss feed)

there is a part like this

<item>
<title>Baseball title</title>
<description>A page about baseball.</description>
<link>hxxp://baseball.com/story.php</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false">1</guid>
<pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2011 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
</item>

now the pubDate would be todays date

but lets say a month the down the road I would change the date to
<pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2011 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate>

making the feed seem more current than it is. again the page never ever changes.

Is this a good idea, since the rss feed agregators are going to think that the page is more current and rank it higher. Will they pick it up as spam since nothing really changed on the page.?

    • Don't bump too hard, you will get a sore head, and i aint sure if there are any Drs on the forum.

      I do what you are doing but i change the content, add new one so more is out there. I dont leave it static.

      Even if just adding content once a month, i still do it.
