    If i update and edit one of my old posts, does that suddenly become fresh content or not?

    ie. would google index it again and think I have added fresh content?

    Or is fresh content only for new posts?

    Hm...interesting question. Assuming the page is already indexed, I wouldn't think so..I guess it could also depend how much you change the content?

    Okay, I have no idea LOL. Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.
