Some are weekly, monthly, yearly and even lifetime listings. This is also an excellent way to get those 'back links' to help you rank better in search engines.

Updating and adding to content on your website frequently will give you an advantage in search results and also help you expand number of search terms or key phrases you can get found for.

There are many tools and resources you can use to automate process of adding fresh, updated content and creating more spider-food on your website.

A blog is an online diary or journal. Setting up a blog is easy and many free blogging services make it possible for just about anyone to get started.

Several blog programs allow your users to create an account and post their comments to your blog, thereby adding more fresh content for you.
