Criteria Google Uses To Define "Fresh" and "Stale" Content

Quote:According to Google itself:

Stale content refers to documents that have not been updated for a period of time and, thus, contain stale data (documents that are no longer updated, diminished in importance, superceded by another document).

The staleness of a document may be based on:

* document creation date,
* anchor growth, traffic,
* content change,
* forward/back link growth, etc...
