One of the questions most blog owners ask themselves is: “How often should I update my blog?” Well, we all know that Google and other search engines love fresh content. That means adding quality and relevant content to your blog regularly will ensure your blog is healthy most of the times, not shy of any uninvited guest (read people who search for information on the internet). Your blog will readily play host (for your visitors) as long as its granary is containing something new – a gift in the form of information for your readers.
Defining regular in this context is not that easy. Different blog owners define the same word differently, and all of them, most of the times, trust their definition that they won’t let no one to influence them into believing on something different.
To some, updating a blog regularly means publishing/ posting something fresh almost every half an hour, a day or a week.
There is the unwritten rule that blog owners need to post content that is worthwhile – that’s worth a reader’s time and patience. But the big question is: “How often should you serve your readers such a meal (fresh content)?” Right now, answers are already wandering in your brain – It is never a single satisfactory answer.
Many blog owners swear to themselves that they’ll be posting something fresh every single day but sometimes circumstances ‘beyond’ their control does not make it easy on them to live by their words. What’s the best answer to the question: “How often should I update my blog?” It is for you to decide. It is a matter of choice – you are your own boss. Do as you deem convenient but make sure to take care of the other party’s (readers) interests. Stick to what works best for you but remember not to be ‘selfish’ – give unto your readers their due at reasonable intervals though.
Remember I’ve just said that it is a matter of choice; just make sure you don’t become overwhelmed with giving unto your readers gifts (fresh content) as long as you can afford some for them, which of course you can! Just don’t post poor quality work for your readers.
Remember not to neglect your readers’ desires. Quench their thirst and be sure to learn from what your readers say under the comments section of your blog.
