New Poll – How Often Do You Update Your Blog?

I post twice a week, 3 if I find more time. I would have loved to blog daily but as I hold a full time job, that's near impossible as I get to work 3 to 4 hours a day only. I try to console myself I write quality posts not quanity.

Sadly I have been posting once a week. Accepting what John Chow says about consistency, I would like to be steady with a daily post.

Once a day is all I do. People are reading so many blogs these days that if you have too many posts it will turn people off.

I have improved now and trying to post three time a week. This will help my visitors to get the latest news every time. But honestly speaking I try to make one post everyday. This will help with the view of SEO and people will get latest updates as well.

I update every second day. I hope this not too bad, Isn't? I need more help on SEO anyone with a quick tip?

It's always good to update your blog even better when you got a huge audience too ;)

I have other blogs where I post at least twice a day. Consistency is king & very important. I wouldn't get anywhere if I hardly posted.

Why Do You Comment On A Blog? I Think this is my original answer too; to drive traffic to my blog and also to be a part of community

I try to update daily but sometimes i just am blank and dont have anything to write about.

Every two days..

I am aiming to switch to a new post schedule as a new years resolution over on my lifestyle magazine Urbantie.com

I think that if I update every week day, it will give me the weekends ot source good quality content and allow my readers to catch up so they arent bombarded?

Does any else have a simlar posting schedule

Great poll John

Of my larger sites...

The World War II site http://ww2db.com gets one new article daily (sometimes an extra news posting) and usually gets about three or four new photographs daily.

The programming site http://dev-notes.com gets a new entry about once every 1-2 weeks.

I blog once a week on http://www.artistrun.org on Vancouver fashion, art, design or food.

I generally update my blog every day or every two days I definitely try to add at least 5 articles a week.

At least five times a week for my motoring blog, which has increased from my old routine and is more consistent too. Maybe 1-2 times a week for my gaming blog.

As always its about finding time between the 9-5 and family.

I update my blog 3times a week. John you seems like update very often, stay cool! :)

Absolutely true consistency plays a vital role it helps to drive more traffic ...which i dont have i need to create a plan for that so that i can get good traffic

Well, I guess this would and should be different dependent on the style. For instance since my blog is related to insurance news, there's a ton of stuff to post about and the frequency is only increasing. I'd assume a more analytical and less news-oriented blog would post less often.

I think at first one should post maybe 3-4 per week of link-baiting content,then as readership builds post more or at least do some guest posting. Otherwise, you'll be putting out a bunch of good content that no one will see ;)

I only post a few times per week, but I always target an especially strong or perhaps, revenue generating post, at least once per week. That way, anyone landing on the page will still see that post, even though a quick mid-week post may not have been the strongest. The key is good content, somewhat routine posts and not regurgitating what's already out there.

I've had some mild success and will now be starting two new blogs. Biggest challenge is finding the time at night and weekends to keep the posts fresh.

i update 25+ days a month.. That seems to work for me.

I post on average once every three days which is not good enough. I need ot get my finger out.

I guess I should be known as the part-time blogger. I update once per week. However, it may be worth noting that I will get out of blogging what I put into it :)

In my first month of blogging, I wrote every day. My reasoning is that it's embarrassing that my cupboards are threadbare so that keeps me posting - to stock up on posts. Now on my second month, I'm easing up a bit and posting only every other day but regularly.

Up date please, we need more money for sexycrack dot com. THX

I often comment on other blogs to drive traffic to my own but I wonder if it's worth doing that with blogs that have no-follow links (like your own).

I try for one update/day but will do 2 sometimes. I think its more about content than just bombarding a blog with posts.

I think I blog as lease 2 times a day... can be tiring but it's fun :)

I at least try and update twice a day if possible.

I just started my blog, I will try my best to post at least 4-6 times per week. But I will try to automate most of them to reduce my workload.

I try my best to update everyday.. Just dont want to let my readers down when I know they are checking back..

When i start new blog i post one article every 3 days,
after 4-5 articles i post 1 article per week, and then less and less.

It all depends of what your blog is about. I thinks some topics are just limited.

sometimes i love to blog then other times I just dont get the motivation to blog its strange :/

One to three times a day usually at the Buyers Web Blog ..:)
I polled it above too..

I post everyday and that works for me. Thanks Greg Ellison

Well except for weekends I post daily all the new funny stuff and more. I guess it will help me get constant users on my blog. Daily is really good...

I try to post every day. I definitely have more than one idea to post about every day, but I think there's been two or three days last month I didn't get a chance to post.

Is like chicken and the egg, cos; you want to drive traffic to your blog, but also to get that you need to be involved, make feedback and be recognized as a voice in the blogosphere. Traffic will come much later... is my guess.

I make around 1 post per 2 days. It leaves time for people to comment and for me to advertise and market my blog.

I update my blog atleast once a day as part of the daily series I run. Besides this, I do have times when I have one or more extra posts.

I update my personal blog ajaydsouza.com 2-3 times a week on a minimum.

daily update for my entertainment blog because it easy and for my technology blog, I usually update at least 6 posts per week.

I admit that I seldom update my blog, but reading this article encourage me to update my blog everyDAY! Thanks John..

I make an industry update post daily M to F, and one or two writings of my own over the weekend.

We think the most important thing is to update it regularly, not necessarily often. But, ideally, the best rate to update your blog is once a day.

John, I notice your posting schedule is subject to a lot of change...?

I post updates every couple of days, or more if I can't think of anything. I also write updates to be posted in the future. ;)

Depending on the topic of your blog. Sometime it may not be possible to post daily without posting some crappy contents. After all, who is interest in what you have eaten yesterday night for supper while your blog is about stock investment?

Hi John,

I will update my blog normally everyday. If i am busy with other things, i will have at least one post in two days.
