How often do you update your blog?

I try to once a day or every other day..I hope this will be the yr I finally start making money with my site..sad face

I will have times where I will add new content 2-4 times per week. I will also have times where I don't add anything for a whole month.

If you are just starting out, I would suggest that you add new content every single day till you reach a curtain goal of visitors per day.

I always like to write my own content. Always have and always will.

Nowadays I update my blogs Couple of times a week but at the starting time of my blog I used to make post frequently.

I have been told that in the blogging world, it's all about the content. Look at it this way, you are probably unlikely to buy a newspaper everyday if the articles never changed, right? So, if you keep your blog updated with new posts then people will have a reason to keep visiting. In addition, each new post is a new entry point for people to find your blog through search engines, which helps your blog in terms of SEO. So I would say, the more frequent you post to your blog, then the better off you will be; whether you post your own content or outsource it, or use guest blogging; whatever it takes to keep your blog updated with fresh new content.

When I have something worth saying and not a minute before otherwise I'm just posting for the sake of posting.

Three times per month.

I write all my own content, and update each of my main niche "money sites" every ten days (give or take a day).

I don't use guest bloggers, allow comments, or have any video content at all.

I have reservations about the comment above that "it's all about the content": as a writer, myself, of course I'd love that to be so, but I think in reality it's not quite as simple as this suggests. From my perspective, it's also very much about who reads it. Having published all that content and had it indexed on my own sites first, I then have it syndicated as widely as possible in front of the already-targeted traffic I want to attract to my sites. I don't wait for people to come to my site to read it all (and, as an affiliate marketer, I have relatively little interest in search engine traffic anyway, to be honest, since that represents my worst-converting traffic-source): after securing the initial indexation rights for myself, I then take my content to where my targeted traffic is already looking.

I was told by a successful business coach to post twice a week on Monday and Thursday, so I started that way and have continued to do so. I've heard varying advice from every day to no less than 3 times a week.
I think just consistently posting new content regularly is the key though. That seems to be the best way to have your organic traffic numbers consistently growing. Google likes sites that are constantly being updated so it seems to crawl those more often because it knows there will be new, fresh content available.

Well if you have a active blog right now.. that seeks new content every day.. i suggest give it to them...
But i usually prefer to update my blog twice a week ... Thats keep it good..

Just my two cents..

I have a stable of 4-5 writers from elance that write content for me during one week a month. They produce enough content that allow me to post to multiple websites every 3 days during the month or 10 posts per website each month. It takes me about a week to take their articles and post them on website and add eye candy like pictures and videos and my affiliate links. It will take about 6 months before you start to see an increase in traffic by following this strategy. Then it grows tremendously each month thereafter.

Adding post every day and having unique content is fine!

Well, it depends on my content structure n feasibility. But 2 or 3 times a week most often. Literally , it's not for attracting traffic nevertheless for adding worthwhile info towards my friends.

I update my blogs daily with either:
a) a syndicate artilce I found
b) my own written article (very rarely would I have a video posted in the article)
I then update my FB letting them know about the new article.
Next do some backlinking for the article and thats it.

Quick simple and easy

I only post on my blog once a week and I have people thank me for my content. If I have something important to tell my subscribers, I will do a post to let them know what I have found out for them.

If you're just starting a blog then I would suggest daily and when you have enough posts post weekly. Make sure you do off-page seo for the previous posts

2 to 5 posts a week with articles of 300 to 400 words writing by me, sometimes i use video as slide.

As soon as something newsworthy happens in my field (SEO & Traffic Generation) I will write a post explaining the development.......... content curation at its finest. Keeps me up to speed on current developments, and a never ending supply of information for my blog and its readers.

Not more than 2 times per week. I prefer writing 2 quality articles rather than 10 poor articles.

i think once a day should be the minimum, posting frequently is a good idea if you dont go spammy

I always update my blog everyday

Never, I pretty much had to shut down my blog. I can only make so many updates starting with "Well, I made more money yesterday." - turns out, I'm not very interesting as a person.

Depends on your blog and niche. I can’t write everyday that’s for sure! But I update my blog quite often with the help of guest posts. Pros : The blog gets updated often and I don’t have to write much. Cons : The blog will have too many outbound links, looks like an article directory rather than a blog and risk getting articles that are published else where before or spun. Well there seems to be more cons than pros by accepting guest posts. I’ve seen blogs that only updated monthly but have decent traffic and rankings than those updated daily. I can write an article a week no problem, and that’s what I’ve been doing on my blog too. I think I will have to consider reducing guest posts, I don’t like too many of them on my blog to be honest. I want to try to publish only my own articles, be it only once a week. People always say to update daily because search engines preferred these kind of blogs, but I think that’s not 100% true. I think, Posting quality content once per week is better than posting low quality articles 3 times a day. I myself like those blogs which have useful information and I don’t judge it on the basis on number of posts per day but on the basis of quality of content.

I ONLY ever update my blog when i have some good information to share

If you force yourself to create say 2 - 3 or 4 posts a week most of the time the quality will slip

You're better off creating 1 post once a week or every 2 weeks but at least that post will be top quality and you may get some good link bait from it too

Personally i create new posts around every 2 weeks on average

Sometimes it may be a month other times 10 days but on average it's a couple of weeks but the important thing is that my readers and subscribers know that when i do create a blog post it's going to be very good information and high quality

People would rather only get 1 post from you every 2 weeks if it's top quality stuff rather than create 3 average quality posts per week just for the sake of posting

Of course if you outsource your content then it's different but if you're creating all the content yourself then the above tips are important to consider

I was writing and posting an article per day to my blog for years, but I decided to write longer articles with substantial information, and I’m posting two or three articles per week.

The blog is attracting more RSS subscribers with the longer articles, and traffic.

Everything depends on the information you are giving to the public. My articles are basically lessons, they are not daily news.

You have to follow the rhythm of your topic.

If your blog is new you have to update it everyday to attract traffic and be noticed, only later you can slow down.

If you are not a good writer, outsourcing is problematic and it creates dependence.

Having a blog basically depends on your ability to write interesting posts. If you cannot write good blog posts yourself, perhaps blogging is not a good idea for you.

If you don’t have enough knowledge about your topic, you’ll have to spend a lot of time with research. If you are not an expert on something I don’t think that you should be a blogger. Adding new interesting content to your blog will be a problem for you.

I always have new lessons to give to the public, but it’s hard to keep writing new articles after having already written so many articles about the same topic for years.

Having a blog depends on your capacity to update it, either everyday or a few days per month. It’s a responsibility. If you'll abandon your blog you’ll lose your audience.

I update my blog everyday. The URL to my blog is
Bloggers Joy
It is a PR4 site with 120K Alexa only and it has reached to good Alexa just because I have updated it everyday. I have not missed a single day.
I use mix of strategies to update my blog.
Please ask if you have anymore questions.

Thanks

Tried to update regularly. After a few days, I thought it will be better for me if I update once in every week. .

i try and update once a week, can be hard due to busy schedule, but you must do this

This year I am doing everything completely different. Last year, I tested a new method and it pays better than anything I have ever done.

Last year I trained my visitors to visit my blog on a frequent basis or Get Left Behind. Prior to this my motto used to be "No One Gets Left Behind", but that was almost always at my expense.

In the past my posts were online 24/7/365. No more. From now on only one post a week, on a specific day of the week, and only for 24 hours. After 24 hours they pay for the information. In this way my visitors can have it free or pay for it. Also, in this way "No One Gets Left Behind" at my expense!

The List? After they subscribe they only have 24 hours to double-optin. If they fail to confirm after 24 hours I remove them from the list. Also, if they do not open my emails (one per week) they are removed from the list. Why? The email contains a link to the post and a product that I giveaway for free. I explain very nicely, but professionally, that I am not going to waste my time and money on people that waste my time and money. Fair enough?

Also, my visitors used to frequently ask my 'professional take and opinion' about certain subjects. I took that very seriously and went to great expense with full reports for free. Now they pay a fee to access the information.

Did I lose any visitors? No. Did I increase visitors. Yes. Do they all pay for private posts? No. Am I making less or more money with this method? More.

Am I working less? Heck yes.

Jeffery 100% :-)

P.S. This next comment does not apply to everyone and certainly not to every blog.. consider that most people want something from your blog be it information or products. Give them what they want and train them to visit on a frequent basis.. not too frequent though.. perceived value!

I have changed everything.. even my business model.

The only thing my visitors will ever receive from me are free products that will make them money. I explain, once and only once how to make money and the rest us up to them.

It depends on the niche. If it is for a keyword sniping blog, I update periodically. However, if it is for a trends-based or news-type blog, I update daily.

Average once every 3 days (try to aim for quality posts, however, so they take a bit of time to write).

If I had more time I would happily write on my main IM blog every day. I would love to spend at least 2 hours per day putting together fresh content for my readers.

I only update my blogs for once or twice a week. And making it sure that I only post quality contents which will be helpful for my audience.

Hi thedog!

It is best to write fresh and new content everyday. I do it 5 times a week and rest for the weekends. If you have ample time to create your own blogs and assuming that you have superb writing skills, it is wise to create your own blogs. But if you have some important matters to do with your site optimisation, just outsource to a reputable company.

Videos are also a hot trend today. Google gives so much value in it knowing that YouTube is now owned by Google. So have a combination of written blogs and video blogs.

Usually everyday uploaded new post and most of my post is written by my own until last year i getting what target i need and i start allow guest post so i do not need spend too much time to generate own content .
Moderate guest post is save time than generate own post everyday.
Video content i only taking it once a week and mostly is about info sharing and demo .

At first, I update my blog every other day due to busy working schedule. But I tried updating it frequently and he traffic goes up. It will also help if you post trending topics on your blog to get more traffic.

I post every time I'm inspired to write about something. Sometimes this means 1-2 articles/day, sometimes it's less than 1 article/week.

I did mine just three times per week, though i have couple of blogs so its very hard for me to write content to all of them so i engaged in outsourcing the content to the great writer. Also, i did guest blogging some times.

The main thing that everyone seems to be missing here is whatever amount of time that you choose to update your blog their is no right or wrong amount of time.

The main thing is to make sure that you stick to a schedule! "Very Important"
In Googles eye's that is.
A blog that is not updated is a dead blog.

You should update your blog very other day when it Is starting out, and when it has certain authority, let's say 40 pages, you may start writing a post weekly sincce now you have a siolid foundation to generate links without lifting a finger in the long term. You should also remember that link building is very useful.

I create content every day. Almost always video.

Posting content once a month is like saying "I want to get in shape, but I only want to go to the gym, once a month"

There is definitely a direct relation between big, successful websites, and the frequency of content they publish.
