Internet! Is that thing still around?

How often should you post?
I am setting up some blogs and plan to have several posts ready to go. What is a good posting rate? Daily, a few times a week, weekly? Your input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Andy |

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

How long is a piece of string?
Really, the answer is elusive, and the SEO gods are fickle. Some blogs built and forgotten get great placements and others updated daily get a trickle. I would start a bunch and try to update around once/week, ramping it up for the ones that get good search term placements. That's just my opinion and is no way to be considered correct... |

You'll probably get a host of different answers but I personally favor the post a day theory.

If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English

At my main blog I do 2-3 updates a day. On my feederblogs I make one update a week just to keep google happy.

I'm just starting to learn about blogs. What's a "feeder blog"?

A blog that "feeds" traffic to your main blog.

A waste of time in my opinion.

You think?
How can another blog with updates each week be a waste of time? Over time they should make some cash on their own of course. 'Well I am giving it 6 month to figure out if they are a waste. My goal is to make one new feederblog each 2 days. Takes me 2 days to make one with 6 months of updates. And when these 6 months are over I will go back to the first one and make another 6 months updates and so on. You think its a waste? Is there any better way to spend this time?

If the purpose of a feeder blog is to feed your main blog traffic but you build those blogs with the same keywords as your main blog aren't you competing with yourself for SE traffic? Or you link with questionable sources to get a much lower quality traffic that you then try to filter to your main blog where you hope you can make a sale. Yes, you can make a sale off of your feeder blog here and there but fuck, a blind squirrel can find a nut once in awhile. At the end of the day you'd be better off working to expand your main blogs and increasing their presence. Oh and it takes me about 3 months to prepare a blog for launch if I don't get sidetracked too much along the way and I don't pre-write posts. |

How often should you post is not the most important thing when it comes down to blogging. The most important thing is to regularly update it with blog posts (every one or two or three days, everyday, every week, etc...).
Otherwise, besides a blog where I post every Saturday and Wednesday, I post once a week on my other blogs. I usually schedule them up for some time so I can work on other things free-minded. |

I'm going to say a whole a lot of nothing. Whatever works best for you will work best for you. (Great advice, eh?) A blog, like any other type of site, needs to be updated in order to hold the SEs' interest. It's probably best to post as often as you can without burning out. I have a blog that I update with one post every couple of weeks. The traffic doesn't go down or up after posting or even two weeks after the last post. It's likely that traffic would increase if I posted more often, but my work ethic doesn't allow for that. I have a blog that I haven't posted to since I launched it a few months ago and traffic hasn't decreased since it saw it's daily peak (which is a low number). My opinion of feeder blogs is along the lines of Walrus'. I think you'd be better off seeking out niche-specific inbound links to your real blogs rather than building feeder blogs.

Preparation, evaluating everything I'm about to do including keywords, sponsors, how the new blog works with existing and cross promotion, etc. Three months may be a slight exaggeration but really not much when you take into consideration that I get side tracked easily
