Different argument and opinions have been raised that displaying the date of post in SERP's negatively affect clickthrough rates and thus in turn many experts believe that removing the post date can in fact increase clickthrough rate.

Most bloggers test it out. Unfortunately bounce rate reduces, pageviews increases and backlinks blast in. But don't be sold. Just because a technique works for blog A doesn't mean it is appropriate for blog B.

Thanks for pointing that out. Most bloggers get it wrong. Simply because a blogger share how he skyrocket his blog traffic or sales does not mean the same technique will work for you. You can probably test it out, but always keep a record of your current stats and see if their is any negative changes after testing.

In terms of dating blog post, some blogs (if not most), needs to remove date stamp from their blog's due to some side effects.

Anyway, thanks for the contribution.
