How Fresh Content Affects Search Engine Rankings
Having new articles on your site will help improve keyword optimization. This will remind search engines of the relevance of your content. It will lead to better placement in search results and overall SEO.
Publishing new pages with keywords will also draw the attention of search engine crawlers, which will then index it. The fresher content indexed, the better your search engine ranking. If you're worried about a lack of fresh content, here's what you should do: Create new content as often as you can, it’s better 2 -3 times a week than once a week.
When it comes to content, freshness is vital. It's also important to publish new content regularly. Google's algorithm rewards sites that produce fresh content.
Adding more content will allow you to capture more relevant keywords. Besides, more articles mean higher rankings for your website. You'll find that fresher content is often more readable and more likely to be shared with others on the web.
When you publish new content, Google will consider it fresh. The freshness factor is one of the many factors determining a page's ranking. It signals to users that the content on a page is up to date. It will also be more relevant for some searches than others.
In such cases, it's crucial to analyze the primary keyword. The freshness score is determined by the rate of updates and new pages published on a website.
I have a question, regarding this "Make a habit of going to 6 months or older posts and polishing and updating them, then resubmitting them to Google Search Console to be crawled again."
I thought google search console is for the whole website and no need to submit it again for every post? Can you help me more with this, please? Thanks a lot!

Like last week I wrote an in-depth review on online crafting courses, and including the research and such, it took me three days to get it well written, look for good images, have nice call-to-action- buttons, do the SEO, publish on all social media, etc.
Also I had to get some traffic for a new video, come up with a good text for that video, write a new newsletter, start thinking about the next blogpost, do that research, etc.
If I can manage 2 new blog posts per week, that is a lot for me.
Am I doing too much to make it 'perfect' and of good quality?
What I also do is check out the competition that is ranking high on the same topic, and try to do better than them, answering even more questions than they do. And maybe this is why it is taking me so much time :-)
How you guys manage 3 or more new posts per week,is amazing to me, fantastic!
That floored me and REALLY opened my eyes to the amount of work I should be doing updating my own posts to keep the information relevant.

This is one area that I kept missing on doing regularly. It wasn't until I scheduled it for every Sunday that it has become a regular task.
