change frequency in XML site map

[searchforoffer]

If I have set the change frequency of my web pages as daily when they are not actually changing daily , will it make any negative impact on my Ranking in google ?

If your site is not getting updated daily with fresh content then Google bot will not come to your site. If this happens for long, then you'd find hard to get your new pages indexed fast and might lose your rankings.

Yes, if you not change content daily, then don't set frequency 'daily' in sitemap. If search engine not found any change in daily, then your site impression will be negative, frequency will be 'monthly'. For this reason your ranking will be fall, I don't think this.

No, this won’t make any negative impact on the ranking. Now, crawler comes to your website daily, as soon it finds new content it will update your ranking.

It makes very little difference. Google is aware that people abuse the system, just as they do with keywords.

Far more important is how often you actually update your content or add new content. New websites are being created at the rate of thousands a day (perhaps tens of thousands). The vast majority of them will be neglected by their owners very quickly so Google won't want to fill it's database up with sites that are unused, or neglected. One of the measures of this is how much new stuff there is on your site between visits, and how much change there has been between visits. Google can see this for itself very quickly, so if you don't create new stuff regularly, why should Google visit regularly?

Whatever you say you do (update daily, update weekly, update monthly, update never) Google knows what you actually do.
