Should we date our Posts?
This is a good question and one that many have asked me.
Why do we have to have the dates on our posts?
Won’t people walk away if they see our posts are old?
Today an email came out from and Internet Marketer and so I listened to what he had to say, and then thought I would have my say on the subject as well.
There is no doubt pro’s and con’s on both sides.
Some I bring up in the video. It would seem by the amount of comments that my esteemed colleague got that the jury could be out on this subject and I don’t know either way to be honest. So you could test it out yourself and see if it makes any difference.
As the plugin is pretty clever I would say you could play around with it for abit and see if you can add some posts dates and leave others out.
For instance you might like to take the dates off your sales posts and leave them on others, or just take them off all together.
So should our posts have a date on them?
I am not sure, I have decided to run both ways at present and see if my ranking etc changes.
I will leave you to make up your mind though as to what you want to do
The name of the plugin is: Date Exclusion, so just search for that and you will find it in the list of plugins.. then install and activate. The you are all go.
I have lots more plugin information on this Fast SEO site and also on my WordPress PLugin Fan Club if you would like to follow me there I would love to share with you.

Thanks again Gail a fair comment for thought. Just for a little info I had some theme loading problems lately. It turned out to be a supercache plugin stopping the loading of the site. Keep plugin. Dave Lilley
