The Perfect Blog Posting Schedule

"How often do you post to your blog?" is an extremely popular question, to which there is no right or wrong answer. Twice per month? Twice weekly? Twice a day? Just one time a day?

You'll find plenty of different blogs promoting different scheduling for blog posts. Many of them recommend posting a few times weekly, maximum. Here's my undertake the issue - both blog posting schedules that matter, also to what kinds of blogs they're applicable.Understanding Posting Schedules

First of all, you will need understand that there is no right/wrong answer because of this question, as I've already stated. Different timings may or might not work for several types of blogs.

The following advice is not something that I believe works for each blog, but it's what realy works for most (after my research).

How User Engagement & Blog Posting Are Related

First of all, it's a myth that readers will be annoyed if you update your blog daily. It's simply a myth, with no real evidence to back it up. Among my all-time favorite blogs sends me an e-mail every day or every two days.

I love it. It gives me more information when compared to a month of Sundays of autoresponder messages from any other blog.

Having said that, users also don't mind if you post only once a week. Truth be told, readers are only seeking to see how they are able to benefit from your site - that's virtually the only reason they're there and why they signed up to your e-mail list (unless they're friends or family.

Alright - let's get right down to the posting schedules.

Daily/Multiple Times A Day

Oooh! I feel I'll provoke quite a bit of controversy with this one, aren't I?

But yes - I believe that posting multiple times per day can be good for blogs. If for some reason you're not open to post multiple times a day, then you should make an effort to post at least once a day. For nearly 95% of people scanning this post, that's what you should be doing.

You need to definitely post this often in the event that you run one of many following blogs, or engage in one of many following business strategies.

Informational/Tips Blogs

Take this blog for example - it deals mainly with blogging, Internet marketing, and SEO tips. In other words, it provides valuable information to those who read this website regularly.

To be branded being an authority in your niche, your blog needs to have just as much helpful, quality content onto it. If which means posting 3-5 times each day, go ahead.

Most blogs on the Internet (including yours) will belong to this category.

Personal Blogs

Let's face it - personal blogs usually don't get much traffic. The previous rule about readers coming solely for personal benefit once again applies here.

There's little benefit a reader can gain from your personal blog unless you're A.) Hilarious or B.) A fantastic writer who can hold people spellbound.

Chances are, you are not either. But let's just guess that you decide to go on and take up a personal blog regardless. You need to be posting once per day.

For most personal blogs, I wouldn't recommend more than once a day (because hey - people prefer to have a little time to take into account themselves, and not just you).

However, once each day is usually necessary, if you wish any kind of traffic. Simply because that individuals who do follow and read your site regularly obviously think you're an excellent writer or funny. And, they need their daily dose of fantastic funny (but again, don't overdose).

The Benefits

No doubt about any of it, there are specific benefits you obtain from posting daily that you won't get if you post less often.

Search Engine Optimization

Although this cannot be outright proven, it's becoming clearer that Google favors blogs that post content frequently throughout the day.

When you publish a new post, Google is automatically notified. Eventually,  https://postheaven.net/railcable0/tips-for-an-effective-blog  will get to crawling your pages and ranking them.

If they are notified quite often, which means you blog often. In the event that you blog often, that means that your blog is active and regularly providing content to your readers.

All things said, this can't be proven, but it's a general trend I see after conducting research in the SERP's.

Alexa Ranking

Although posting 10 times each day imply that you'll automatically be promoted to the top 1000 blogs, the blogs that engage a higher-frequency posting schedule often rank higher, in comparison to blogs that post less frequently with the same quality standards.

Case Studies

I recently came across a forum thread where an Internet marketer laid down his technique to go from $0-$200/day in AdSense earnings in 8 weeks flat.

What he basically did was outsource cheap content writing jobs to freelance article writers.  Loft Conversions Manningtree  hired lots of 'em, posting on his blog 30-40 times. Every. Single. Day.

The result? He's sitting pretty with $200/day in AdSense earnings. In 8 weeks, flat. And that's only one of his online businesses.

Let's take another example. A good friend of mine, for whom I recently guest posted, includes a prestigious Alexa rank of 44K, amassing a total of 14,000 page views each day.

He posts at the least three times a day. And it's really taken him a measly 2 yrs to be at where he could be right now.

That's pretty good, if you ask me.

HOWEVER...

However, this rule doesn't apply to all sorts of blogs. Actually, posting multiple times a day, or even once daily, will be disastrous to certain blogs.

Business Blogs

By business blogs, After all blogs that participate in already established, offline companies - Wal-Mart, for instance. These types of blogs shouldn't - I repeat, should not post a lot more than twice a week (and really, once weekly is all you need to be doing).

Why?

Simply because those forms of blogs aren't designed to be updated regularly. Quite often, they're simply about discounts, or business news.

They have no need for SEO (unless it is a local service people actually seek out online). In essence, it's just a front that says "we're online too".

Do You Have Something Worthwhile TO STATE?

You have something worthwhile to say? Something that will actually help/inspire/motivate people? Do you?

You don't?

Then don't say anything.

Simple as that. If you are not sure about whether or not you need to blog everyday, then blog once you have something to say.

However, try to maintain some kind of consistency. In the event that you get sudden post inspirations, then go ahead and write the blog posts, but don't publish them - yet.
