How do you monitor content on large websites?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend any software or a procedure / methodology on managing and maintaining content on large (corporate) websites?

I have a site that has gotten big..... I need to have certain departments (sales, marketing, etc) to review certain pages or sections of the website occasionally (quarterly, annually, etc.) to make sure the content is still relevant and error-free.

I'm sure this isn't a new concept, but currently we're a bit disorganized in this regard. I'm curious as to what some of you veterans might recommend. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If it is an HTML site - you could use find, like so:

find $HOME/public_html -mtime +60 | mail -s "Files older than 60 days" email@domain.com

Details on different find options: Find files by access, modification date under Linux or UNIX

If you're using a CMS, I'd recommend creating some sort of system to do the same thing with the content from the database.

A simple email with links to page the organization is reponsible for should work.

You could also get more sophisticated and issue the emails directly to the people that posted the content.

Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for the advice, I wonder if you can tell me if it works with Wordpress sites or if I will have to learn to code wordpress sites to be able to code the code.
