    Hello fellow dpers! Im currently working on a blog project and im wondering how many posts per day is best for the search engines. All the content is %100 unique if this makes any difference.

    Thanks in advanced!

    I don't think so that posts/day really matters :rolleyes:

    One post/day is also enough but it needs to be completely unique and informative for visitors. Thats all.

    DON.

    Depends on the length of the posts.
    The more posts you add the more good it is for your blog.

    Its natural for SEs to like a frequently updated blog.

    If its only you who posts on the blog then one daily.

    If you are part of a small team then obviously theres maybe going to be three or four to be posted, in that case i would publish them throughout the day.

    The more the better for SEO purposes, but as far as what's best for your own personal self, it all depends on the type of blog you have, your target audience, what your goals are, etc.

    It depends on the blog topic, but 1 post a day is usually perfect. Going for multiple posts a day from the start is probably bad idea (as there is no one to read'em anyway). Later, you can post as much as you can if the readers keep coming and the blog topic is such, just look at Mashable, TechCrunch or Lifehacker.

    The important thing is not to do a "post dump" when you start a blog. If you have multiple posts finalized, schedule them daily and keep on adding to the end. When you post daily, search engines will come and index your blog daily. And of course your readers can enjoy the fresh content every day.

    If you don't want/can post daily, choose a schedule and stick with it. Whether that would be once a week, every other day or such, post regularly and try not to miss your "deadline". This is more important for attracting readers than it is for search engines thou.

    After your first 3 months you will find that once a day is hard enough to keep up with, once you have exhausted your first few original ideas.

    It depends on your niche. Entertainment blog requires more posts because a lot is happening. Something more serious would require less posts. You have to find the right balance. I usually try to get one post/day.

    Just 1 post unique content a day is okay, you should spend more time to build backlink to your post with social bookmarking and submit the articles to articles directory.
    From my experience, unique content means nothing without proper keyword research and backlink to your content...cmiiw

    One post a day is good, although you could also post 2-3 times per week and your website would still be fresh.

    At me on the main page of a blog of 6 posts. I consider, that for search spiders most updating of all 6 posts will be the best result. Total: my opinion - is necessary to add 6 posts for peak efficiency of scanning by search robots.

    From a reader's point of view, I'd like to point out that I quickly unsubscribe from blog that post 20 times very short articles with little value.

    SEO is great... but so is valuable content.

    Its very tough to maintain that IMO. Better post quality instead of garbage.

    DON.

    I don't think, no of post does really matter.. the only thing which matterz is the quality of post.. If you are posting quality post and your reads are caught through some search engine.. then that is fine.. otherwise 10 post a days wont even generate a single penny...

    Worker through what user want to see..
