The Social Media Examiner puts out a blog post a day, and so does Michael Hyatt, author of Platform. Yet Derek Halpern at Social Triggers only blogs once or twice a month, and he claims that’s the right amount!
I looked at my own posts and site traffic and I came to the conclusion that the more I post, the more traffic I generate.
I haven’t looked to see how much of that traffic ends up converting, however. I would assume the percentages stay the same.
Have you looked at your posts vs. visits lately? What have you found?
(BTW, this graphic was pulled from a post I did about how often you should blog, if you’re interested.)

I post twice a week — the post I do for Monday mornings is a full-length blog post, the post I do for Thursday morning is a Q&A post where I answer a reader’s question about their job search. Twice a week works well for me because I can tell that the traffic is dying down for the Sunday post at just about the time I launch the Thursday post. Twice a week is also as much as I feel like I can handle doing with all of the work involved in helping job seekers through my company, Getajobtips.com.

I think you should blog just enough and not too much. You know “The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.” {~Blaise Pascal} holds true. Since every audience will be different you have to write for what your readers need. SME knows that 2 or more posts a day will not work for their audience, while Masable and Hufington can post articles like What Time Is The Super Bowl?

I think it must be different for everyone because I’ve read many articles about this topic and they all say something different. I gues s you just have to try different things, monitor the results and do what works best for you.

I would say up to 3 times a week. Right now I am blogging once a week but I plan on changing that. Developing rich content on your blogs boots SEO.

Surely it’s not just the frequency but the consistency as well?
