A Simple Blog Experiment

This post is about how much a blogger should be writing on their blogs, what is best a post a day or several posts per day or as I have been doing twice to three times per week. This could have an effect on traffic to the blog as well as an effect on the blog readers.

When I first started blogging and learning all about how it works, I was taught that writing a post two to three times per week was sufficient. It would be enough to keep the search engines interested and I would get listed and ranked no problem. It would also be good for the readers as they would get use to two or three posts per week and would not have to visit the blog everyday. So that is fine and I have no real problem with this method.

Whether I have got listed and ranked in the search engines because of this ratio of posts is not really clear as it could very well be down to the promotion that I have done for this site, from social bookmarking to article marketing and of course everything in between. This also goes for my other blogs as I have followed the same process.

I am not complaining about the amount of traffic I do get to my blogs, but I would be lying if I said I was satisfied, after all we all want more traffic to our blogs. I have recently come across someone that although has been working online for over ten years, they have only just started blogging. They set up four blogs at the same time and wrote on everyone of them on average twice per day, after only a couple of weeks their traffic blows mine out of the window on all four blogs.

So as you can imagine this has got me thinking, can I double or treble my traffic to this blog or other blogs just by increasing my content. I have decided to commence on a little experiment to see if this will have a big impact on my traffic value. I am going to write more posts here and on another blog whilst leaving the others as was, to see if it has an impact on the amount of traffic.

Obviously I have got to maintain all of my blogs as well as writing a book that is in progress at the moment, this means I do not know how much more writing I can manage, but I will make an effort to increase it as much as possible. I will monitor my traffic over the next few weeks and report back on the result of my little experiment, so stay tuned to find out the results.

If you have any thoughts on this theory then do leave a comment, may be you have tried this and either got results or not, either way let us know how it worked out, as it will be interesting to find out from others that have tried this.
