Update Web Pages for Better Rankings and Increased Traffic

Getting increased traffic is and better search engine rankings can be the result of revising your blog posts and web pages.  Your site content may be stale and your keywords irrelevant.  If you update web pages by changing or adding fresh content, it sends a flag to the search engines that something new has been added to the page.  If you re-orient your page to more common search terms, more people will find your web page.

Revisions for Improving Your Content.  Re-reading your content may reveal grammatical and style errors.  Correcting these will make for higher quality content and better reading.  This will make it more likely that people will read your content.  There is always room for improvement.  As a boy, I used to walk along the railroad tracks picking "dewberries," a diminutive blackberry that grows wild in a part of rural East Texas.  Dewberries make a great cobbler desert.  I would pick in one direction and return along the same side of the bush and find more berries that I missed.  Re-reading your web posts is very much like this, you always find new berries when you return to the same place and view it at a different time.

Keywords.  You can use Google Adsense or Market Samurai to inspect the keywords for your site.  There is also the possibility that you may want to add more keywords or change the SEO focus of the article to a new set of keywords.  I did that recently on a health article, which was perfectly good as far as content goes, but it was lacking in keywords that people use in their searches.  Now that it has been changed, it is more likely to be found and read.
