When to post blogs?

[ClickIt]

If I was to put 2 blog posts on my site a month, does it matter if I post them on the site at the same time, or is their benefits in posting them a week apart?

Thanks!

I personally prefer spacing them out in somewhat of a recognizable pattern in an effort to develop readership.

Whatever you do though, don't just pump out a new article because you have only done one so far this month and you think you need two. Make sure the quality of the content is top-notch first and foremost. Think to yourself, "if I were my target reader/viewer, would I find this interesting? Would I want to share it with my friends?" If the answer is ever no then trash it and move on!

Hope this helps..

It would be better to post on a regular schedule. (In your given example that would be every two weeks).

This is for a variety of reasons.

1. The search engines will see that you have a fresh batch of content every now and then.
2. Users will see that there is a blog post every two weeks and if they think that your blog is interesting enough to follow they will visit you every two weeks to read the new post.

Hope i answered your question

I agree w/ @wesleysmits, but there's another interesting idea. So:

• Post every 2 weeks (as suggested by @wesleysmits)
• Subscribe to something like hittail.com ($10/mo), and write blog articles for a all the long tail keywords it suggests (YMMV). The way it works is HitTail will find a bunch of long-tail keywords e.g. "How do I replace my Samsung Galaxy battery?" users used to find your site. It'll suggest some blog titles that you write, and you just crank those out. These articles will tend to hit good ranks on these specific keywords, and bring in trickles. Build enough trickles into your site, you get a stream.
