    I am going to start posting to my neglected blogs, as i have been busy.

    They are Wordpress and blogger blogs.


    QUESTION:
    a)How often should i be posting to the blog, from a Search Engine Optinization point of view.... so it looks like the blog is active?

    How many posts a week?/month? Approximatley ?


    b) I wish to put keyword articles on each post. How many words approx should these articles be?

    As long as you have an interesting and useful content to post on your blog it's ok. Better if the content is unique.

    The more often you update your blog the more often it will be crawled.

    I tend to update my blogs every day, as do the majority of other people.

    I update on a regular basis. Monday-Friday. I try atleast 1-3 posts.

    If I don't get time (or can't find/write anything worthwhile) then I miss it out. No need to worry :)

    I don't think you should be posting for search engines. Post frequently to keep your visitors engaged.

    As for the length of your posts, make them as long as they need to be to get your idea across.

    Don't worry about green bar and the Search engines. Blogging is for sharing your knowledge. Keep this thing in your mind and start posting at least once in days. Some of the bloggers are posting thrice DAILY. It all depends on your time and involvement.

    I post on my blog one post per day and Google bots crawled my site daily as well.

    b) I wish to put keyword articles on each post. How many words approx should these articles be?
    Make your articles interesting is the key. Try to have the keyword in your title as well. I guess three is a good amount.

    If you have recently setup a blog, you should update it daily... try to post a unique article and most important:

    DO NOT GIVE UP

    Post unique contents......Daily if you can...... it makes sense to blog one post daily than to add 7 posts on one day....... Post regularly.. like daily, weekly or monthly......

    I would focus more on the quality of content your posting, instead of just posting regularly just for the sake of keeping fresh.

    you can update it daily.but remember to post quality and unique content ,if you can't provide unique contents its useless to post daily because your post won't be indexed.
