If you cover breaking news, hot topics or regularly occurring events the freshness update will create more chances for your latest content to surface highly for general search queries (like the name of a celebrity, sports team or TV show). It is simply a recent event that illustrates the Google freshness update in action. How It Works.

PostRank counts “engagement events” which it defines as individual activities such as a tweet, like, comment, digg, RSS view, etc. It then assigns “engagement points” to each event; events that demonstrate a higher level of effort and engagement are given higher values. So I ran 30+ news sites through the tool.

I have seen plenty of blog posts and conference presentations on how to utilize Static FBML but I rarely see news sites highlighted among the examples of good usage. But Facebook Pages remain a key audience development and content promotion opportunity for publishers so it is important to make the most of them.

We can probably say that Google and others will continue to provide information and news of events worldwide for those who search for it. The Sunday newspapers are still an enjoyable event and form part of some kind of sunday tradition. UPDATE: For those interested in more actual information, NYTco.

RSS feeds are another good opportunity, both for content discovery and because users sometimes utilize them to power link modules on a blog or other site, in which case they become a direct source of links. So maintain a decent selection of feeds and don’t let the impending shutdown of Google Reader move you away from RSS.
