This tracks updates to old posts which have recently been updated to include the latest information. For instance, the Inflation Index and the Producer Price Index (PPI) are updated several times a year. However, Google has indexed the original posts. To maintain internet links, rather than abandon an old post, the original posts are updated. This page will let you know when updates are posted.
