I perform searches on a daily basis. I use Google, sometimes Yahoo, but usually Google. I have searched for SEO answers to my questions and the way that I search for the question as specific as I can be, I still come up with articles from 8 years ago. People this is not good, especially with stale content for search engine optimization tips, which changes all the time. Search algorithms that Google has especially, normally sift out garbage. But what is happening is that all the SEO rookies that are looking for assistance are getting nothing but stale content with outdated information and are going to hurt themselves in the rankings. However this may be a cruel lesson to be told, but we have all been there with the amount of crap informati0n you come across.

Moral of the story is that you really need to keep the content up to date, include dates in the posts and in the meta data. This way a trend of adding a year on the end of a search will generate higher efficient searches for our articles based on the year. Rankings for our articles struggling to get to the top will proceed as high as need be based on a term and a year “search engine optimization tips 09′”. That pretty much takes out all the necessary information out of the article plus gives a time frame.
