This question has been there and been asked by people in quite a few forums and blogs, and i made a list of questions from the past few days browsing in the forums -

• How many times should i post per day?
• Does posting in slow rate affects my visitor rate?
• Posting frequently influences my blog rankings in search engines?
• Does writing very frequently get me more subscribers?

And now here are my thoughts on the topic -

My intention to make the blog successful is by adding content, not relying on the speed of posting. If you are planning to become a full time blogger then there is no problem in posting few posts a day. But everything just depends on the niche on which you are working on and blogging about.

Many bloggers struggle a lot in posting new content every day, and if they try to write the same type of posts and topics as in thousands of other blogs, then you are just trying to make your visitors run away. They won’t be impressed with your posts, although you try to make many posts per day. You know what? The increase in your posting rate will always be a major factor in decreasing your posts’ quality.(Yea many won’t agree but its a fact with most of the bloggers)

So how many times to post a day, you can post once a day, once in a couple of days or twice a week. Depends on the quality and your pattern of posting. If you are posting twice a day for a week and then changing it to twice a week, you are just killing your blog. Don’t always fluctuate the rate of posting in your blog. Always try to fix some schedules for blogging, and if you are already aware of being busy in future, use the “Post Timestamp” feature to save posts for future which automatically get published when you are not being online.

Answer to the 2nd question, its a general feeling that posting less frequently affects your visitor rate, but one of my blogger friend owns a blog with about 3000 subscribers who never came through/subscribed to participate in a contest etc. but they actually love the stuff that he writes. And amazingly he writes just once or couple times a week. So its just the topic which you are posting which majorly decides the visitor rate to your blog.

So now answer to the question “Posting frequently influences my blog rankings in search engines?”
Search engines love content, the more you post the more they would love you and crawl your sites. The ultimate work of search engines is to give the searcher with the best and appropriate unique results. So don’t try to scrap other site’s content. Be unique and be loved by search engines, don’t ever worry or think about search engines.

And lastly, Does writing very frequently get me more subscribers?
Post something useful, frequency is not an issue. As stated in the answer to question 2, you can get subscribers if you post slow also, but be always logistic and think before choosing the perfect niche for blogging, which would have a perfect future, and which you can actually blog about.
