Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My Blog Entries appear in Google with a date, do those dates matter ? Will people stay away from an older date, say 2009 ?  Is it worth removing the dates ?  Or should I update the entry and change published date ?

I am only just realising that the Google Keyword Tool I use is aimed at Adwords customers and where competition is stated as low, they mean competition for adverts. When I have a ridiculously low amount of links and  an equally low Domain Authority finding keywords is not easy.     I presume there is some correlation between the SEOMOZ Keyword Difficulty score and the amount of Adwords traffic,  but even very low Adwords Traffic Search Terms still seem to be moderately competitive. I guess its a case of plugging away with the Keyword Difficulty tool.
