Does Google Like Updates?

Licker, IMO Google does want updated pages in their index. I have long believed there is some sorta update boost (rather than a penalty) for Google. From my experience, updating your pages a little with updated content will not hurt your listings. I will give you an example...

I owned the #1 spot for pornsites in Google for a while and I was constantly updating my index and still do. Eventually I lost the listing, but it wasn't because of updating my site.

Just my .02.

I agree with Lowry. I think if you have pages that are ranking well and you don't update them, they'll go away. Google wants to rank pages that are providing their surfers with fresh content.

Look at hoes.com. Good rankings all over the place, and constant updates to the pages when freesites are added daily.

Google used to use page staleness as a factor when putting pages into the supplemental bin, according to Dave Crow, the head of Google's crawl team, so yeah, I assume its a factor Google keeps an eye on.

"So, Dave, what do you do?"
"I'm the head of Google's Crawl Team."
