How important is the frequency of updates on a blog?



Some people are under the impression that blogs are good for SEO only if they’re updated frequently. How much does frequency play into PageRank for blogs & other dynamic sites? Isn’t the content more important than the simple # of posts per day/week?

  1. Google bot has no way of determining "content quality", it is a fact that Google favors frequently updated websites over static ones even if you post crappy content, so don't be fooled by what Cutts says on this video.

  2. Very well said. Sites that are regularly updated with POOR CONTENT won't amount to anything. Especially since Google's algorithm is geared towards user experience.

  3. hey i have problem at alot of vids and not just me alot of ppl i try more than 40 vids and all of them says "erorr occored, please try again later" so any 1 have selotion for this problem and youtube most solve it cuz not just my pc

  4. MAtt. You say that content is king. I have unique quality content, and was getting 100 visitors a day from google. I moved the site from a dedicated host to a shared host…. the same site, same content you claim is king, the traffic I was getting from google dropped to 5 … I am about to abandon the blog (it is about actionscript tutorials)

  5. I write my blog about things I am interested in that seem to have been missed by other people. The problem is its all to unfocussed (maybe the polite word would be "eclectic"). One of these days I will decide what its going to be.

  6. I can think of only three reasons why you'd want to post regularly: 1) you make money through advertising, 2) you are seeking superficial popularity, or 3) you are easily bored and have a lot of free time. In the long run, quality (rather than just regular posting) probably will be most satisfying for both the person posting something and the person viewing it. And satisfaction will in the long run increase your profits and/or your popularity. But if you enjoy posting regularly, then do so.
