Maintenance: a stock clerk and handyman for your website
Maintenance, which mainly involves adding and updating content, is important in making your website effective because both people and search engines get bored easily. If a person knows he'll find new, valuable information whenever he visits your website, he'll keep coming back. Then, when he needs your product or service, he'll think of you before your competitors with their boring websites.
Search engine robots are also slow to visit websites that have nothing new to show. Your website might drop in the search engine rankings because the search engine figures everyone's already seen what you've got.
It's also important to update things like personnel and contact information in a timely manner. This will help you keep a professional image. Leaving outdated information on your website is as bad as leaving a window pane broken by the front door of your office.
