The most simple answer to the question of how often you should update your website is: as often as it needs updating. Minor website updates might be made every day, whereas a full website revamp might come every two to three years.In terms of general pages or blog posts, how often should the information be updated or changed to stay relevant?
I used to think it was fine to do this once a year but it seems as though it needs to be done more often these days.
I mean in the sense of generally adding to pages and changing words. Even if nothing or no new information can be added. Should one just leave the page or post alone knowing newer posts are outranking them?
That is what I was thinking. Also, there is a chance you are competing with news sites which constantly roll out new information so keeping your stuff more current helps.I remember reading an article on a website. The website had a disclaimer that clearly stated that the information on the article might be old because it was published in so and so year. Updating articles is a great way to maintain your site.

For sure. I am not suggesting someone runs one but rather that they can be indirectly competing with them. Thinks of topics in the health sector for example. The news is always talking about health topics and if you run a health blog, you will likely be competing for traffic at some point with news outlets.You may need to stay updated with the latest trends in order to run a news website. There are many people who do run news websites and they even have to delete old article and pages.

Anything dealing with the health industry for sure. Be it diets, medication, illnesses, or natural health. Things are always changing because studies are always being done!Yes, I think that news sites need to get updates a lot as compared to a few other websites that belong to a different niche. i think that even the health website might need to get updated as well.
I believe a year is too long to update a blog pages. The information on website and blog need to be updated regularly for the website to be relevant. To me, information on blog and website need to be updated at least every 4 month.
