How often to post articles

I would post once a day.

Consistency is going to be the thing, start off with what you feel comfortable doing and stick with it, but as mentioned before once a day should be good.

If you want any significant traffic. I suggest posting once a day and staying consistent.

I would suggest posting at least twice a week and provide quality relevant content that will have your visitors coming back for more and subscribing to your newsletter/feed. You also want to keep it consistent so that regulars know when to expect something new.

Don't start out posting every day for two weeks and then drop off to once a week. If you can post every day that's great, but decide up front what you can do and allocate time for the task.

A couple times a week would be plenty

Different people have different take on it. I would say a couple of times a week is ideal.

Well you need to have a goal before posting articles on your site.

If you want maximum growth: post multiple times per day to drive the most traffic (3-5 times or more is considered best for power bloggers).
If you only need steady growth: post at least once per day.
For slower growth: publish at least every 3 days or 2-3 times per week.
For very slow growth: posting less frequently than 2-3 days per week is most appropriate for bloggers who maintain blogs as a hobby with no strategic plans for growth

Hi James,

If you have the time then I suggest posting a couple of times a day for the first few weeks.

This can build your momentum and provide you with a backlog of content that you can use for posting at forums, linking to your articles via social media networks, creating reports out of them, using content within your auto-responder series etc.

Having content that is 100% unique and created by you is a great thing to have at your disposal.

Create and get some momentum going!

Hope you take action and all the best with your future efforts!!!

Consistency is key. Work out a schedule and stick to it. I would suggest at least 2 times a week and as often as daily.

I would advice you to do it consistent rather than quantity.

For a start, once a day is good then increase gradually or aggressively depending on your resources.

That's because everyone has their own opinion, and many of the people who have fast-and-dirty, quickly-expressed opinions on this question are those who haven't quite appreciated that it doesn't matter.

Article marketing isn't about "how many articles" you have, and it isn't about "how often you post them", either. It's about how you get them read as widely as possible by the highly targeted readers you want to attract to your site.

Article marketing is a traffic-generation method.

Yes, you need to post all your articles on your own site first and have them indexed there before they go anywhere else, but that's a small point, and only for the gradually accumulating, long-term SEO benefit of building up your instance of initial indexations, and to avoid giving any other sites/directories/Web 2.0's any unique content (clearly not a good thing to do!).

Google likes regularity in updating, and learns slightly more quickly how often to re-index your content, according to how regularly you update it. But it isn't important.

Frequency doesn't matter. Regularity does, but only a very little.

Once every three days is good. Once every 10 days is good. Once every 15 days is good. What's slightly less good (though not a disaster) is twice today and once tomorrow and then nothing for another three weeks.

That's all.

Having been making a full-time, successful living, myself, for nearly 4 years, from a few content-rich, article-rich websites and article marketing, I can tell you that from my perspective I don't care whether people tell me to post an article every month or every week or every day (every day?!?! Really?! I hope all my competitors run their businesses like that! :p :rolleyes: ), because that doesn't matter. What matters is who reads them!

And in reality that depends mostly on who else publishes them. And I don't mean article directories or "Web 2.0" sites!

In each niche in which I do business, I write (and post on my site) 3 new articles per month. And that's plenty for a full-time, professional article marketer. People who are posting two articles per day don't begin to understand what "article marketing" is, or how it works, at all.

I strongly suspect that these posts/threads will help you a lot, if you read them carefully and click on the links inside them ...

It doesn't matter, James.

On sites where I've posted three times a month, three times a month has been successful for me. On sites where I've posted less than three times a month, less than three times a month has been successful for me. On sites where I've posted more than three times a month, more than three times a month has been successful for me. Success is not determined by posting frequency.

In other words, and I mean this in the nicest, friendliest, most helpful way - it's a bad question, and a bad thing to spend any time/attention/energy worrying about. Google will update your sites and re-index your new content - however often or rarely you post. But above all, don't start imagining that "more articles" are somehow necessarily better than "fewer articles", because that isn't right at all, and in reality the opposite can even be the case.

Hey!

From the way things are going seems you need to just post naturally and build a consistent posting schedule. best to do a really nice post once a week and maybe a few short posts here and there

Up to you of course you decide your posting schedule. =-)

-Will

Also depends on the age of your sites. Be consistent and use social bookmarking for added juice. Others mention a schedule. Very good idea. You could write articles in the morning and post one to each site later that day. After 3-4 weeks you'll have a nice reserve on hand.

No matter what.... take action everyday!
