Are frequency of title, description, and H1 tags hurting search result

Some of my pages seem to get better as they age. Not domains, pages.

I have seen some instances where it appears that Google's SERPs like stale pages. Specifically pages that I optimized over a year ago and havent touched.

Conversely, pages where I need to tweak the title, description, and H1 tag seem to have a ranking decline before the new tags help.

I was wondering if anyone else is seeing something similar to this in Google?

The older pages may have got some inbound links that your not aware of . There is no anecdotal evidence to suggest that older pages do better just because they are older.

See it, yes. I used to fiddle with the title of the index page way too often. In the end I decided on a title and have not changed it for at least a year. And age does help. Infact there is a kind of snowball effect a while. if you put in some hard work and get a decent ranking, you do start to get links without having to try. We found a new web site referrer a couple of weeks ago and lo! found that we had a link on the National Geographic web site. You can't pay for links like that. BUt our site has been around long enough now, has good content, ranks well, and links come in by themselves. Its not the age of the site that makes a good ranking in itself.
