Of late, have you noticed how varying your website content appears on Google search results? Lack of updating your site often, could spell doom to your online content more than ever before!

To ward-off unoriginal, poor-quality and stale content, Google recently updated its search engine using 'panda' technology. Basically, Panda (invented by Google) sorts-out documents on the web i.e. it can be compared to the way you 'tag' your friends on facebook. It scans your content for relevance and quality and classifies it as a high or low quality site.

A day, minute or even a second is how old the most recent information can be, taking into consideration how fast information moves nowadays. Depending on its algorithm and look-up terms, Google update is able to work out if an event is recent or if a breaking news results is a week old. This has also enabled Google to display real time results from facebook and twitter and other social networks. To avoid your business site being hit-hard by Google's update, use some of these strategies:

Inter-link Your Webpages: Make it a habit of writing inter-related posts, so that you can link to your older articles. By connecting to your older posts relevantly engages the readers and hence, the term inter-linking.

Therefore, think twice when linking to major social sites such as Facebook with a view of establishing authority and trust of a specific subject matter.
