One of my sites that I have been heavily backlinking and such in an effort to move up the rankings, didn't have a fresh post(it's a WP site) since the end of August. I decided it was time to put fresh content on there regularly, so today I added a new post. I made sure to link to another page from this post, and also link back to the homepage. Within minutes, the site jumped 11 places in Google
This is quite a tough niche to crack in terms of SEO(the first few in the top 10 are pretty strong) but it now sits at 53. Just a few weeks ago, it was back at 400+ so I've made progress. The site is only a little over 2 months old too, so I'm hoping we're getting to that stage where google trusts us.
My question is basically the thread title - just how important is fresh content? I plan on adding new posts/pages every couple of days from now on. I'm also going to continue backlinking etc. Could the site rocket up with regular, fresh content? I want to be in that top 10 so bad
Also - is the 11 place jump just temporary? i.e similar to how a new EZA article can occupy a high spot in the SERPS then a few days/weeks later move down to it's 'true' position.
yes, I am....
