A blog is not a blog if you never update it. From my experience the best scenario is to update your blog daily and at the minimum three days a week. Blogging one day a week or just several times a month will add content to your blog or website, but will never create the return on your time investment that regular blogging scheduled will.<\/p>\n
I know this from personal experience. I have blogged for years on my own blog. Over the years, I have some blog personnel issues, one of my blogger\u2019s father was in a slow decline and I ended up with some very serious blog coverage issues. I needed to blog for my writer on a regular basis but typically without any advance notice. As a result, my own blog suffered. I posted infrequently or sporadically. I saw my blog readership drop from nearly 40% of my website to under 5%. I saw a huge crash in my website traffic that was very concerning.<\/p>\n
It took over eight months of consistent blogging, without fail, to rebuild my blog base of regular commenter\u2019s, blog visitor traffic, and website traffic. It was very hard work and it was slow to regain what I have built and then lost.<\/p>\n
Blog visitors will typically not come back to revisit a blog that is half heartedly maintained. I know I don\u2019t. So if you want to get into the blog game, make the commitment to a minimum of three days a week and stick with it. Your traffic will build and your blog and website will benefit both.<\/p>\n
As a side note, the exact same holds true with Facebook Business Pages and Twitter. Don’t lose the fans and visitors you have by dropping your regular updates. It is a very hard road to travel to rebuild once you lose momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
