how often should i update content

Please share your views with me

How often should I update the content on my website? I read here and on other forums that people make a target of 2-5 updates per day in order to be noticed by search engines. How does MSN see a site with daily updates or weekly and so on?

Any ideas? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

HELLO
As long as you update consistently, do it as often as possible. If you update every day for a month, the spiders will train themselves to come back often, but if you stop updating, they'll stop coming.

I beg to differ on that one. I've seen sites that get updated twice a year and the googlebot visits more than once a week. The bot follows backlinks to your site, it doesn't just visit your site on a schedule.

Totally endorse indianz opinion

Google bot first love big huge content + surely there traffics site. if your links have there. surely it will visit your site in three days provided they are not spammed. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Ok so when I update my site, a descriptive text from the most recently added article is shown on the main page and then the page where the whole article could be found. In this way, I update two pages of my site. Not just the articles but a couple of recently added URLs (my website is a directory of different finance related websites) are displayed in the main page and also added on the respective page.

Is this ok?
Would this be considered as spam? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Nope, that's not spam at all. Think of how many pages are updated every day on news sites such as bbc or cnn or reutors. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hello frend, for me, content is the key, and if you write informative, unique content you are sure to win your SEO battle! Write something that relates to your topic and take the caution of not copying it from other sites, and applying innovative ideas to persuade the visitors read your pages. Hope that will help you. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Content is good, as is ties to other sites. All seem to help, but it seems like it isn't so consistent -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

When I updated the content minimum twice in week, I still noticed visits from search engines.

I think MSN's visits are quicker than Google.
But be patient if you are expecting to see a PR. Let it come organically. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

i think you should be adding content everyday, in case your website is your primary work. otherwise you can add around 2 - 3 times a week.

in case you are getting decent traffic, you should work more, or outsource it to some other company in developing nations and they can keep on adding new content on site -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
