Do You Blog Everyday?
I was very consistent last month, managing to blog 28 times out of 31 days. This month was a slow start for me as I was away on holidays until August 5.
I created some scheduled posts for the first two days of the month but then I did not blog again until the 5th of August.
Looking at my stats so far for this months, I think not blogging for a few days has affected my traffic. The first two days of the month started strong, but as soon as I did not blog for a day my traffic headed south and has not recovered since.
Making a quick estimate – I think my traffic has dropped off by about 50%, however my subscribers remained loyal as they have remained at the same number for a few weeks now, which is great to see.
Blogging everyday means that there is new content for my audience and it keeps them coming back on a regular basis. I know if I see a blog that has updates every day, I will check back every day to see what is new. If they don’t update everyday and have posts a few days old, I am more than likely not to check back so regularly.
I like to keep my content fresh and constantly changing. However, sometimes I cannot find the time to sit down in front of the laptop for an hour and blog. Though this puts me under pressure as I don’t want to miss out on new viewers and I don’t want my loyal readers to forget about me.
Do you blog every day? If you don’t does it result in less traffic?
The actual exam of VCP-310 or even 350-001 is not tough for a 640-802 student who has already done his 70-290.

It depends on the blog.
I have several older blogs which I post to once a week or less. On my latest blog though I am posting virtually every day.
I think when a blog is new, and you’re building an audience, that posting every day as you say is very important. It builds an expectation with your visitors, that if they return they will see fresh content. It’s also good for your rankings as Google et al. love sites that are updating regularly.
The key however is to make each post worthwhile. There’s little point in posting for the sake of posting. IMO it’s better to take a day off, then to write a below par post just for the sake of not missing a day.
Keep being consistent and producing good content and you’ll be rewarded with visitors, rankings, and success!
