How to arrange changefreq

Question

In my Sitemap.xml file, I have the following line for every url:

< changefreq > weekly < /changefreq >

But the reality is that most pages don't change very often.

Except there are new pages added to the url http://wordfruit.com/copywriters frequently (sometimes a few new pages a day; other days there might be no new pages or just one or two).

And:

Every day there's a new blog post. So there's a new url each day that begins with http://wordfruit.com/blog/

So, would the following be the correct way to have the sitemap:

-- If I remove the line weekly right throughout the document and simply not have a changefreq reference.

-- Except for the following 2 urls:

http://wordfruit.com/blog/

and:

http://wordfruit.com/copywriters

...at those 2 urls I would include the line:

< changefreq > daily < /changefreq >

?

Answer 1

I think that it does not matter so much. I explain better. Of course having changefreq tag for every page could give to S.E.s (Search Engines) an "idea" on how frequently those pages are updated. In reality, S.E.s discover by theirselves how frequently a page is updated and so how much frequently they have to visit every page. Imagine a spammer (or something similar) who put ALWAYS as value of changefreq for every page of his website(s); would the S.E.s be trapped in this fact? Of course no.

Saying that, I think that you can do as you thought.
