  • Micah Fisher-Kirshner: On each crawl to your home page, Google will know the textual changes made, so there`s no real need to address that.
  • Loren Baker: Do Not change pub date if there is no content update. Have seen sites drop dramatically for that as it`s a recognized form of manipulation. Only change when content (maybe 20%) has been updated and ALWAYS include an "this post was updated on " sentence.
