yes indeed but make sure your meta headings are done
and in place. If what you say is indeed true, the added
value content and well constructed meta headings should
,overall, actually improve your ranking. Anytime, as a
rule, you do major upgrades on an already submitted
page, it would be good to re-submit. The exception may
be if your site is already ranked in the top 20. But it
probably would not hurt. What is important is knowing
where you are ranked currently and why? If you
understand this then the re-submit should only improve
your lower rankings. One of our sites is #1 or 2 on
excite and we would not re-submit in this case.
Another is #2 on Yahoo again here, great reluctance,
would just not attempt it. But on pages that are in
slots 20 and under , whenever we do changes, we
resubmit and we see usually improvement. we don't
submit all our pages , there are thousands, and the
engines would probably consider it another form of
"spamming" instead we concentrate on top level pages
per topic/theme.
now i'm rambling, good bye!
hope it helps:-)
