Dan: When you update an old post, do you change the date in the URL, or do you write a editor's note in the beginning of the post, with a date stamp?

I just add the updated information. I ran an experiment with 2 posts. I update each one about two days apart. Each post moved up one page on Google. One post was on page 4 and moved to page 3. The other post was on page 2 and moved to page 1. All I did was add relevant content and republished, leaving the original date.
