Time stamp

[RichardS]

Is it a good idea or bad idea to place a time stamp on each page you are through working on?

from an editorial perspective, it will keep a nice time frame for your purposes. I haven't seen any impact on SEO.

Of course, I never paid attention either, so maybe it's something I should!

If you do not already know it, here's a tip for automatically inserting a modification date:

For SERPs, however, this does not have any influence. What *might* count - I do not have any evidence, but it seems logical - is the "last-modified" and "expires" header info sent by your server, indicating how "fresh" your information is. See an introduction at
http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/

Even if it does not (currently) help with the SEs, it is a good idea to provide those header data, since it is good for caching.
