Google’s algorithm, years ago, ranked sites favorably based on the frequency of updates and site maintenance. At the time, the algorithm was not very advanced, and the general findings were that sites which were frequently updated were providing relevant information to visitors. That obviously is no longer the case.
With the swift expansion of the Internet, companies can add pages upon pages of new content to their site every day. The likelihood that the content is high-quality is questionable, which is why Google’s algorithm has grown to out those sites that update with low-quality material. The bottom line is that any old update is not going to help your rankings -- Google requires quality, informative content on all of the pages of a website. A “freshness” tracking algorithm of Google’s also looks for recent information in order to better serve those are doing the queries.
