[...] I am not sure I would agree with Jones when he says you should blog several times a day and tweet once an hour, but I do agree that you need to blog and tweet far more than once a week (read my recent post on how often you should blog). [...]

It’s a question we get asked many times Aine so it was good to have the opportunity to answer it here for you and others.

Thanks for the comment Mona and I guess it comes back to the point I made in this post – it all depends on what you want to achieve with your blogging

Once the keyword tool is being used and you are writing good content, the other way to get more traffic is to become part of a community and comment on other blogs which can take considerable time but gives lots of rewards besides more traffic.
Many thanks for your comment Marian and 2/3 a week is a good number to aim for.

I agree Mona, yes, it does have many answers and I always think – don’t apologise! Having said that, I think business blogs need a certain consistency to maintain credibility and trust which isn’t always easy to achieve. For personal blogs – yes, as long as your content is good and you are normally inconsistent (if you know what I mean), that works fine too.

Great piece ladies. I think that this is one of those questions that has many answers. I have blogged thrice weekly all the way to once monthly and all get varied responses. I am finding that as long as your content is good the readers return to enjoy the stories. I think, if you pigeon hole yourself into a schedule and then can’t commit to it you end up feeling guilty and feell obliged to do a blog ‘apology’ for not blogging…..I just go with the flow theses days. I try for once a week but feel no pressure to blog if it is not a story fighting to be told.

Yep I can totally relate to Aine’s frustration. Trying to find my schedule has really been difficult to get right. I’ve started adopting these tips on my own blog. For myself not being so insular by having my blog devoted to just recipes has opened me up to express my true passion about food so hopefully my followers and newcomers will enjoy the enhancement. I’m aiming for 3 a week not sure if that’s any help to Aine or anyone else.

I know Write on Track has done a post on the Google Keyword Tool but when I hear a lot about SEO – what else will help once we’ve put these two in place?

Oh by the way thanks for the above post as it can be an easy guide to look back on for reference.
