Blog Frequency: More is Better, More & Useful is More Better

In a recent poll of 1096 bloggers over at Problogger.net, 316 reported they posted 1-10 times during the month of May.

Grrrr....*%&#...?!!!

Did you hear that? Yes, that was the sound of The Blog Squad groaning and rolling their eyes to the Heavens with a look of disgust and discouragement!

People, wake up! It won't work unless you work it! You need to post more frequently if you want to master the fine art of coming up in searches!

There are many who are posting 11-20/month (195) and 21-30/mo. (164). Overall, there are 321 bloggers posting more than once a day. And 100 of the readers polled reported they didn't post at all in May.

Darren Rowse has always been a leader in building community through reader participation over at Problogger.net. You can learn a lot about how to run a successful blog just by visiting and subscribing to his blog. While I was poking around over there this week, I found this poll:

"How many times did you post on your blog in May?" (1096 responses)

Results:

0       = 100
1-10  = 316
11-20 = 195
21-30 = 164
31-40 = 96
41-50 = 51
51-60 = 34
61-70 = 32
71-80 = 14
81 +  = 94

We recommend a business blog have fresh content at a minimum two to three times a week.

However, Darren and co-author Chris Garrett say in their book Problogger: "If you are just starting out, attempt to post to your blog four or five times a week while you're finding your feet; over time you'll find a rhythm develops that suits you and your readers."

The most important thing is quality and usefulness, otherwise readers will stop finding value in going to your blog. Frequent posting is better, quality and frequent posts are even better.

Here's how to learn how to do this quickly and efficiently:
