what you think about editing a post after published and crawled by google. ? i mean is it bad to make changes after publish the blog. ? or frequent changes in page can cause rankout the page from results.? here i am talking about small changes in title, in the heading or add/remove heading etc.

It can actually help as the page will get crawled etc again, so small tweaks like chaging a date from 2017 to 2018.
Just avoid removing anything you're ranking for though.

I don't think it will hurt your ranking, but just to be safe, don't change it too much.

 

[zerotje09]

More recent articles will rank higher most of the time, so it won't hurt if you don't change to much.

 

[Monsterer]

yeah sure, you would change the article titles and headings.
After that submit the sitemap once again you would get the effects of the modifications.

Changing titles and headings is pretty heavy right? I guess normal content will be enough.
If you do so don't change to much keywords you want to rank for.

There won't be negative impact of updating the posts. Just make sure you will not update the URL of the post. Keep it as it is as it is submitted to the webmaster. You can add the new contents, new keywords. It will help to gain the ranking of the website.

You can do. It's not a harm, may be that editing will helps you the high ranking!

 

[Nargil]

Completely normal, especially a few hours/days after you publish a post. It's a necessity if you want to test proper KW density.

1 time edit, won't hurt..

If you edit the title of a page , 2 times or more in a day, You will surly affect for that in Rankings.

 

[RankBoss]

Don't change your url or slugs. small changes in posts doesn't affect that much.

 

[Digital Sword]

Small tweaks wont affect your ranking or anything. Instead it will help your page to crawl again or so. But don't change too much.

 

[tracksrail]

Making small changes will help however if you do it using a tool, it will further help you, for example, you can use ntopic or website auditor or even yoast seo plugin will tell you basic optimization for the keyword which you are targetting, make sure you include them with any other small change you make. also dont forget to have numbers or symbols in your title, they help in boosting your rank with better ctr.

You can add more content, change the titles, whatever. Just pay attention to on page and don't change the url to the page.

 

[rouhangill]

Its good to tweak and make it more relevant as you get more information to add.

 

[nitin paka]

Without any doubt you can change the data or headings, but it should be better than previous content.
this can give better rank to your website without any fall of rank.

It sometimes affects negatively and sometimes positively, but it's good to tweak major changes like adding extra 500-1000 words content rather than updating it by changing a single sentence only.

I don't think there are any negative effects unless you remove some important keywords you previously ranked for. After new crawls Google will recalculate your positions.
