Frequent Blog Posting
Post Regularly Because...
Keeping people interested in your blog,
whether it is a business or personal blog,
is key to attracting a lot of regular visitors. Many blogs
have died because people have just lost interest. The main reason for
the lack of interest is simply a lack of posts by the blogger. Regular,
frequent posting, which will boost your blog’s
ranking in search engines, is essential to the survival of any blog.
You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting? How many blog
entries should I make on a given week? How do I make frequent
consistently good posts? What are the reasons for me to post
frequently? In this newsletter, we will go over all of
the above.
What is frequent posting?
Frequent blog posting is posting enough to
keep your readers interested. Obviously, people will not want to come
back to a blog that hasn’t been
updated in months. They want to see consistent posting so that they
know coming back to check the blog
next week to see if there are more posts won’t be a waste of
time.
How many blog entries should I make each
week?
This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really depends on
the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal
blog, a weekly or twice weekly
update is an excellent idea. A political/sports/music/religion blog
should have 3-4 posts per week. Business blogs
should have at least 2 posts, but preferably 4 each week.
The thing to remember is that quality counts. Posting frequently just
for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in subpar posts
which people won’t care about. It is important to find a
balance—frequent, quality posts that won’t result
in burnout on your part. Why create 4 poor quality posts each week when
you could post 2 quality posts per week?
How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?
It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing.
Maybe you’re not a natural writer and this is difficult.
That’s why we’ll give you an outline to help you.
1. Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers. Maybe
if your blog is a personal blog,
you could write about the latest happenings in Hollywood. 2. Carefully
think about what you’ll write about the topic. It makes it
easy to make quality blog
postings if you know exactly what you’ll write. Plot out
everything about the post before even beginning to write it. 3. Before
writing your content, pick out some keywords that are relevant to your blog.
If you naturally use keywords throughout your post, you will please
search engine spiders which will get your blog
ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t mind the
use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful way. 4. Begin writing
your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular amount of
words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog
post is hard for you, just take a timeout and relax. You should be able
to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time
to think things through, you should be able to finish the post with no
problems.
Why is frequent posting important?
Blogs are meant to be outlets for
individuals or businesses. They are used to get an opinion out on
something and to engage readers. Readers need to have something that
makes them want to keep coming back to a blog.
That something is usually quality, frequent posts.
Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to
post often in your blog. Catching the eye of a search
engine—and achieving a high ranking—is another
valid reason for posting frequently. Most likely, each posting in your blog
features some keywords or keyword phrases scattered throughout it.
Logic says that the more natural keywords you have on a blog,
the better. Thus, the more posts you make on your blog,
the more keywords you have on there. And the more keywords you have,
the more likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more
your site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will have
a high ranking on a search engine.

P.S. Frequent blog posting can be easy as long
as the person who is posting takes the time to plot out what
they’ll write about. So take a few minutes to think about
your post and then just do it!
