To keep a fresh content in eyes of Google enable the comments on your blog (if you didnt do this till now) and make fake comments. This will autoupdate your post and it will get a permanent boost in serp. Try to comment on the post each week to keep it fresh. Google loves fresh and popular content right?

    Or you just write good quality posts once a week.

    there are a few decent wp plug-ins for automated comments as well. I don't personally use them on my blog but they look useful even if you just want to encourage others to comment

    It's about the content, not the comments. Google specifically says it in their recently updated Webmaster FAQs or whatever.

    Stop focusing on all the tricks, you won't get far with them.

    Thanks for the tip. I definitely don't mind adding quality, useful content (or comments) to my blogs; but the last time I had the commenting enabled - I got tons of spam. So, I just decided to keep the feature "off" for now

    All you have to do is remove all the default dates from your entire site (like I posted here), then add todays date php code, Google will act like the page is constantly being updated.

    When I do a site: search for one of my evergreen sites that hasn't been updated in almost a year, then change the date option at the top of the SERPs to 7 days, Google shows I have 70+ pages on that domain with a date 7 days or less. I just now checked, they think my index page was updated 12 hours ago, lol.

    This also shows the last time they re-indexed individual pages (look at the latest date in the SERP description).

    News sites use the date trick all the time. As far as traffic, I seriously doubt they care considering my sites are evergreen content that will last for years & still be relevant.

      I used your trick and my dates are disappeared from SERP.

      BRILLIANT YUKON.

      To me this proves that Google has no idea what good/fresh content is. How can it?

    It's worth a try. Though really it would be much easier for me to come up with short one paragraph posts to make daily than to take time to update older posts. The new pages are what gives the blog more holding power in search engines.
