Seek Great SEO Tips for Web Design & Content?

Hello Forum Friends:

I like to thank you for reading my post. I have this question that relates to how often we should change on the homepage.

I read on this forum that we need to make some changes on the homepage so that SEO can index our homepage as search engines see new content and new design.

1. How often should we change the design on the homepage?
2. How often should we change the content on the homepage?
3. How often should we reuse the content on the homepage? the reason i ask this question is because I saw one big article directory owner usually approve my articles after I submitted for about 4 or 5 months.

Big thanks.

Do you have a link to the site in question?
Typically, the more new (and high-quality, quality, not quantity) is useful.
Write for people, not for bots. Too many keywords will penalize you.
Setup good 404 pages, with links.
Robots don't usually care about design if it is applied through css, but if it's purely html styling (tags and tables only), it might be a good idea to switch to css.
Do you have a link to the site in question?

I guess with a continuous link building then you can update your content when your ranks started to going down. So that it will not sunk more lower. Then customized your 404 pages so that your visitors won't leave your site so fast because they will be entertained by the 404 page you created.

Proper analysis after every two months can help you a lot, keeping track on keyword ranking, directory submission to relevant niche and try to submit your articles in some other article directories too and take a look about the time span they are taking for your article approval.

3. Unrelated Advertisements will distract viewers
4. Hidden text, which is text the same color as the background
