How often do you update your website?

waxman18324 · Premium Member Roof Cleaning Institute Of America

Guys,

This month I'm hoping to put together my website(I know it's about time). What I want to know is how often do you guys update or change it(i.e. add or change photos, videos, content, pages, etc)? I'm the first to admit that I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff and this is not a joke.

I think just adding a blog keeps the site fresh?

I am never not updating my website.

Usually once a year.

Liberty SoftWash · Feb 5, 2013

I change and add different stuff every 2 months.

Now is the time of year to work on SEO, guys up north. We will all be too busy rest of the year!

Every 2-3 weeks, look at a wordpress blog

A Blog on your website helps a lot! Google LOVES Fresh Content! I have been very lazy lately, but it is good to post some fresh content at least once a month.

Hank you are not alone, Im terrible with website stuff and seo. Just ask your web builder to help you, listen to the pros here on RCIA . Keep us posted and also put a preview of the site up before it goes live and there are some great members here on RCIA that will look at it and give you some great advice.

We just changed ours and lost our places, we try to get as many "real" reviews everywhere we can. Good reviews will get you business now and then.

Hank if you need help call me. Go with a word press site!

I had a new WP site built last year with tons of city pages. It was built to replace an html site that is not very user friendly. I spent a few G's getting it built but Im too afraid to attach my original domain to it for reasons Mike Jackson just mentioned.

Same problem here. I've been working on a new wordpress site to replace my original html site. Just a little scared to make it live. My original site doesn't rank very high in searches anymore but it does pop up in searches that my other sites don't.

Bringing this topic back up. I saw pros and cons to adding to or making changes in a current website you have. Can some of the "in the know guys" like Chris T. Help us out with some facts? I had just noticed that SOMEHOW, 2 logos I had on my 1st page website disappeared for no reason I can imagine and one was RCIA. I spent some time on the phone with Godaddy and got them back on again!

I don't know about that Chuck?

Here is one for ya!!!!

Make sure your website is up every week or two too. Mine had been down for less than a month. What I mean is we showed up on search. But when you clicked it, the page couldn't be found.

I didn't notice it, someone else did.

What is was was my hosting company changed the url or something of the site, and the company that "owns" my domain, I thought I did?, lol! I guess the company that I got the url from. The company I went through. Was still pointing to the hosting company. But the place I bought the url from pointing to a place that had changed at my hosting company???

None of this has ever made sense to me! Still don't.

It is all fixed now. Only took about a half hour, an international call to Australia, bunch other calls.

Really explains why it slowed down so much! LOL!!!
