How Old or How Often does the "Beginners Guide to SEO" Get Updated

Good morning
Just wondering how often does the intro/beginners guide get updated?
I often refer back to this guide for some "back to basics"
Regards

Hi George!
The Beginner's Guide to SEO is an evergreen piece of content that we update on a regular basis. SEO best practices change at a rapid rate due to updates in the algorithm and shifts in the industry, so we try to update the guide every 1.5-2 years, depending on the changes the update needs to reflect. The last update was released in May of 2012 (you can read more about what we changed here), and we've got another update in the works that will commence later this year.
Thanks for referring back to the guide for your SEO basics, and happy reading!
Ashley

Page Title "Untitled Document" with mozbar
Hi, I'm working on a big news website (in tourism) and, when checking my homepage with mozbar, I often get: "My Title • Untitled Document" - 69 characters With no apparent reason, If I refresh the page or simply visit it later, it could randomly switch to the "normal" title: "My Title" - 44 characters It looks like completely random to me, like something more is loaded in the first case. I've checked my source code of course, and <title>tag seems to be ok with no other <title> even when I get the "untitled document".</p> <p>I have no idea about that. I don't know if that can be a useful info, but I was trying to understand why the majority of my main keywords searches are only showing other pages (I can rarely find my homepage) even though my home looks correctly indexes and shows as first result for every site: research.<br /><br />Hope everything's is clear....any idea or suggestions?<br /><br />Thank you in advance.</p> <p> </p></title>

How often does the competitive link checker get updated?
I just found a link in the competitive link checker that links to a couple of my competitors. The checker says that i do not have a link on that page, but there is one.. i recently (last week) obtained that link. So that raises the question: how many times is the competitive link checker updated? kind regards

What time of day are keyword rankings updated
The keyword rankings in one of my campaigns update on Tuesday. It looks like they updated today but when I downloaded to CSV, some say last Tuesday. Is this because they didn't change or are they still updating? Today is Tuesday. i.e., do they update at a specific time and if so, what time?
