When you say have fresh content, do you mean rewrite static pages of text often?
My copy writing and proofreading service has a few static pages, but mainly it's just a matter of someone uploading what they want to have worked on and getting it back again with some functions that make it easier and a more enjoyable experience.
There's no revolving stock, sales I guess we could do, so nothing changes as such
I'm not entirely sure how I'd change the content other than just rewriting static pages - would that really work?? Surely there are more effective ways.
When I say fresh content, I guess I was more so speaking of a blog.
I guess with a site, there's not much you can actually do to keep adding content. I think with a site, you'd need to focus mainly on keywords and backlinks. But then again.. I'm a noob at this too so I won't guarantee on that lol.

No with a static site you can keep adding fresh content. Add new pages with articles. You are a writer, write articles about writing (like how to craft an attention getting title) that gives just a couple tips but leaves them wanting more - your service. Write articles about copywriting for different industries that you want to attract. Do keyword research about copywriting and ghost writing type keywords and find out what related topics people search for and write articles about that. Lots you can do to add fresh content that will pull in both spiders and new visitors!
You could add all the above as static pages, or better yet start a blog (on the same domain).
Search engines like blogs a lot!

I agree with Linda! I've seen many sites that include a blog on their domain, and I'm more likely to visit the blog instead of read what's written on the static page anyway! I guess it's just the blogger in me.
I've had my site up for about 6 months...no drop in SERP's but I do have a lot of backlinks. I think backlinks is the key...I could be wrong, but just my opinion. I'll be testing that out with some more experiments though.
I have started losing my google rankings and I bet it is not because of the reasons mentioned in this thread. I think my site dropped in rankings because my competitors have started doing well than me.
You know I sort of found a counter-intuitive answer lately. My strongest website (main money site) had a ranking drop lately, but I was doing a ton of promotion. It seemed like the more I did, the more my website got stuck in the quicksand. I forced myself to keep updating it, but to do promotion for other website - and leave this one alone for a couple of weeks. It sort of came back on its own.
For the other site I worked on, I made sure it had a different IP than the main website, but did have one link to it. It seemed like attacking the problem "sideways" rather than head on.... had a positive affect, and my SE traffic and rankings are back to the main site.
