How would you like it if your newspaper had the same news everyday? Or the comic strips repeating themselves day after day after day? Yawn! You bet! Why should anyone visit your page and spend online time and telephone charges just to see the same stagnant page? Keeping your page fresh is the way you can keep people coming back to visit your page - provided of course, that you have some content to keep them coming back there. In their initial enthusiasm, people put up webpages with great ideas and ambitions, but as time passes by, they start neglecting theos webpages. The end result is what you won't have to search too hard to find on the World Wide Web - cobwebbed pages. Pages that have been neglected, contain outdated news and information, and have the creator's flagging interest written all across them. Here are a few ways you can make visitors come back, time and again to your site: Update Information If you plan to update your page at a regular frequency (and you should) - make a mention. "Updated every Monday" is a good way to tell your visitors to come back and check for more interesting content every Monday. News and content based sites put the date and time they were last updated - so if you visit CNN or CNET, you'll know when the news on that page was last updated - a great indicator of how fresh the content is. A simple piece of JavaScript will allow you to incorporate the same on your pages too. Put this code where you want this message to be displayed (usually displayed in a top corner, or at the bottom of the page:
<script language="JavaScript">
document.write("Last modified " + document.lastModified);
</script>
