Tall Skinny Kiwi has some advice on frequent posting for bloggers:
Blogging Advice in the Wild Wild Web 2.0
The rules of blogging have changed for our brave new web and Eric Kintz has some good advice.
Why blog frequency does not matter anymore#1 – Traffic is generated by participating in the community; not daily posting
#2 – Traffic is irrelevant to your blog’s success anyway
#3 – Loyal readers coming back daily to check your posts is so Web 1.0
#4 – Frequent posting is actually starting to have a negative impact on loyalty
#5 – Frequent posting keeps key senior executives and thought leaders out of the blogosphere
#6 – Frequent posting drives poor content quality
#7 – Frequent posting threatens the credibility of the blogosphere
#8 – Frequent posting will push corporate bloggers into the hands of PR agencies
#9 – Frequent posting creates the equivalent of a blogging landfill
#10 – I love my family too much
I’ve never set a goal for myself, but I do usually try to find at least two things I can blog about weekdays.
On the other hand, my mom and sister have told me they don’t read any of my “long entries” and usually just skim my page.
My dad tends to read everything, but usually a week at a time – like his e-mails.
My mom naturally is only concerned about things that directly involve me, rather than anything political or related to music, wrestling or other things. She does seem to enjoy the recipes though.
What about the rest of you? Why do you read my blog? What do you look for?
Do you enjoy personal insight? Politics? The fight for Africa?
What about other blogs you visit? Do you visit more than once a day? Why do you visit them?
