Post To Your Blog Regularly

Posted by Wesley LeFebvre on February 1, 2010

Lately I’ve been rather busy with appointments, proposals and client work. So I’ve had a difficult time finding time to post to this blog regularly. Which is a good thing actually. However, I was really starting to see some momentum here, and it’s kind of a bummer to watch both Google traffic and return visitors drop off so quickly.

I have found you need to post to your blog at least once a week to gain some momentum in the right direction, and twice a week is almost twice as good. For some blogs posting daily works, but I don’t particularly like to subscribe to blogs that post daily because I like reading from several different sources throughout the week, and only like to read one 3rd-party blog post daily. When one blog takes up my entire RSS feed reader inbox I end up deleting them. But that is just my preference. With that in mind however, I don’t want to want to post to this blog more than I’d want to read it.

The bottom line: If you are trying to grow a blog quickly, then I recommend you post to it a minimum of twice a week. This helps feed the googlebot and keeping it coming back for more, as well and delivering frequently updated content to your readers. I.E., more search traffic and more return visitors.

    Nice blog, your posts aren’t fluff or filler but actual informative stuff, like the backpage nofollow etc..

    Nice post!

    Could you please answer some questions?

    1. How many visitors can the blog like yours attract in the first month (first year) from the beginning?

    2. Do you see the difference on how the Google crawler treats your site?

    Thank you and keep up good work!

    1) I wouldn’t expect many the first month. The rest is dependent on your efforts.

    2) If you post regularly then Google will crawl your site more frequently and index your new pages quicker.
