Niche ? Authority ?

you could update whenever you want, if its good content.
best way to do this is post every week - from my experience.

There is no defined rule or anything. But as often as possible is better.

What I would do:
-1 NEW article per week or at least 2 per month
-Target a new keyword in every post

That should get your traffic on the way up

To see the CPC of your KW, use Google Contextual Targeting Tool... but make sure that you can rank for those first, right?

One post per 5 days will be fine..

The more often the better but make sure its all unique content and not re hashed crap

There don't have any rules regarding this.. I think 2 or 3 days per post it will be fine.

You don't need to update content at all, it's one of the biggest misconceptions in IM.

Although mikeshinobi brings it a bit harsh there is a lot of truth in what he says.

There is only 1 good reason to add content, and that is cause you want to target more keywords, but to do so you need linkjuice, so the more juice your site gets the more content you could add, at least that would give you a reason to add content. Another misconception that everyone seems to adore after panda / penguin updates is that content ranks out of itself, well let me tell you, it does NOT.

Sure do as you wish, big chance you end up with a site with 100 pages of content that is ranking nowhere, same like the site I did a test study on to see how well content ranks. But yeah a dozen noob posts proof more then 1 case study

People need to stop thinking that they need to constantly update content in order to get rankings. That is complete horse****. There are plenty of sites that have not been updated in years and rank great for very competitive terms. The answers are all right there in the SERPs already.

Now if you are running a newspaper website, yeah you better update content, but even that is more for your readers than search engines. A sports site, same thing.

People saying that you need to post a new article every week or whatever other magical time frame they pulled out of their arse are completely wrong on this.

And if you really want to rank, I would get rid of those silly signature links.

Great example, 0 exact searches!

Sure 0 exact searches can mean that it still gets some traffic so how many visitors do you get based on that keyword? 5/month?

But like I said, you can better listen to noobs who try to be helpful or try to increase their post count then people who ranked 100's of sites and do this for a living.

I agree with Mike.

I think you should look at your niche. Is it likely to update your website on a regular base?

For example: I am in a tiny niche with one of my websites and everything can be said with one simple page.

A lot of my competitors doesn't have more than one page and still ranks in the top 10.

If your competitors are updating every day, you should also.

If they NEVER update, you can probably update never too.

Just update your content when you feel you can do it. Do not just post something in order to keep your site updated. This can harm your site instant of helping it.

OP how often you need to update your content is actually over answered in WF and other IM forums. Even some gurus say you need to see the keyword first. If the keyword demand regular content updates then you need to update contents. But the truth is google gives very little value to regular content update. On the other hand backlinks and proper onpage factors play most important role in ranking.

everyday is good.
