Thread: What is a good post minimum?

For any blog at all, what is a good post minimum to have in all? As far as search engine performance and such goes...

I'd say post as frequently as you can for search engines to index your site. Make sure the content is valuable and informative to increase site PR and SERP.

Are you talking about total content or posting frequency?

For total content, it depends on what your goals are. If you are looking to build a mini blog that focused on a highly target niche, I would say at least 2-3 pages. For a bigger site probably 8-10 pages.

As far as posting frequency, Google loves content so once a week or more is good. The thing is that the more often you post the more often the search engine robots will visit your site.

Hope this helps

Yep, it helped! I kind of mean both I suppose. Most of my sites are just blogs, but I was wondering how many posts in all would be good for keyword density and traffic/SERP's. Would it be 50 blog posts, or 100, etc.

It depends on what your goal is. If you are looking to maintain your readership, build traffic and have other blogs pickup your feed, I would say that a post every three days is good.

Hi All..

According to me,Blog is really good idea for increasing the traffic of the website.You can write the content according to your requirement and you also put the link on the Blog to increase the traffic.You can update your Blog after 3 to 4 days so other members can also comment on your Blog.Thank you.

The more UNIQUE content you can publish the better! But don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Quality content will generate a lot more natural links.

I think ranking well in the search engines has more to do with quality, and not "how many." I would rather have 10 really good post, then 100 junk post.

I usually would post atleast once a day, or twice a day. That is just fine. Adding like, 10 to 15 posts all at once, can be a waste in terms of getting them indexed and helping site grow.

as long as its original, you can post much in a day.
