Hi,

Just a quick question I'd like some advice on. I recently setup the site droneblog*co.uk. I have written and along with my writers enough content to drip feed one article a day for just over 2 months. My site automatically posts to Facebook and twitter (but I'm struggling getting it to auto post to g+, but thats another story).

My question is, in terms of SEO is this the right way to do it? drip feed one article per day or should I post all my articles in one day and get in before everyone else?

    Personally I would drop about half those articles in one go to give you a good boost, I would then drip the rest over 1-2 months to contine the site activity.

    Thats kind of what I've been thinking to increase my presence with a chunk of articles and then start drip feeding. Is one article a day enough?

    I remember you asking if you can buy the domain in Digitalpoint forum. Nice to see that you have finally purchased the domain & you are working on it.


    I even looked up the posts you are making,. They are not of too many words. So probably go on the offensive & post a few more posts a day. a few weeks later when you start ranking slow it down

    Yeah better initially go for several posts of less words per day. Then after getting engaging respond you can slow it down into one post per day.

    Even better, post it all now and then keep writing to add new content on a daily or every other day basis. The extra content should mean more keywords, which should mean more traffic. Again, put it all up now and keep writing!

    Drip feed them. It is better for both SEO and organic visitors. Drip feed is just something you would expect naturally.

      Get a grip on reality people.

      Do you want a full site now or later?
      Do you want a complete site now or later?
      Do you want to compete against other sites with tons of content now or later?
      Do you think amazon.com put one item per day?
      Do you think ebay accepts only one item daily?
      Do you think yahoo publishes one article a day?
      Does google index only one page a day?
      Did the WF tell people at the start that they are only allowing one thread daily?
      Do you people want to earn money now or later?

      Stop and actually think about what you are saying. If people stood in front
      of a mirror and repeated what they replied here, they could not have done
      it with a straight face.

      You people live on some other planet.

    Good advice Paul. I basically published a lot of articles that I had written 500 - 1000 word articles, then I started posting 200-300 word articles I wrote and I'm left with a base of around 30+ unique articles at the moment. I have kept some back so I can publish at least one a day to keep momento. Does posting every day have an affect on search engines or is that more to do with showing readers it's active?

    I've just submitted my app to Apple App Store so hopefully that increases traffic

      I don't post everyday.

      But posting on a regular basis "might" get google to crawl your site more often.
      That's always a good thing.

      Sometimes google "likes" freshness. Nothing wrong with that either.

      I would not post garbage just to be posting for the above.

      Each site I have I also have a blogspot blog to go with it. I do those on a regular
      basis. You can always find some sort of fresh news online no matter what
      topic you have. Regular basis for me is about once a week. However, when
      starting the sites, I never did one article a day. I filled up the sites like a mad man
      on a mission.

    This is a good question as I am in the same boat, kinda. My site though is not based around articles BUT it is there to help entice other traffic. I am not live yet but have about 5 articles ready to go. Again my site is an ecommerce site and I do have all my items (domains) in place now just waiting on a few other things.

    So even if the site again is not based on content the same should apply here...post all going live and then keep a schedule?

      There is no reason to hold back the articles. Launch a full site from day one.

      The whole idea of drip feeding content to boost search results is mostly BS. If you were a news site, that would be important. Otherwise it is not.

      The only thing it might do is get your site spidered a little more frequently, but again if you are not a news site publishing up to the minute content, that really does not matter all that much.

    I think once you;ve reached a certain threshhold of pages drip fead can be a good idea because google likes to rank recent content (I mean recent this can be over two years ago).

    If you scrape SERPs and use an excel formula to extract the date the content was indexed you see 2014, 2013, 2012 mostly, not 2004, 2005 and 2006. So as long as the content is not well old it doesn't matter.

    If you start a site with an aged authoritive domain starting from scratch it will rank very fast.

    So look at:
    - age of your domain and its backlinks
    - the content has been live for a few years or so.

    A lot of the time the content won't rank because the domain is new and doesn't have backlinks.
