Blog posting is critical to the development of any site and is a huge part of the blog building process. It is a common assumption that the more frequently you post new blog entries the more the traffic you will attract. Although this assumption is absolutely true what we are discussing here is how an infrequent posting schedule can actually bring out the blogging best in you. After all is it not the quality of your post that makes really makes the difference?

Here are 3 compelling reasons why infrequent posting schedules can actually work better for keeping readers happy and bringing out the blogging best in you!

Content Tends to Be of Higher Quality

Given a little more time before 'rushing' to publish your next post allows you to do a better job researching and collecting your thoughts. When readers do take their time to read your posts it is now time better spent due to the increased quality you have delivered!

Builds Greater Reader Anticipation

When your blog entries reflect more quality information reader tend to anticipate them more. Even if the frequency of your posting schedule is less than that of other sites many will feel that the quality you deliver is more than worth the wait.

Better Content Delivery

By allowing yourself time to research and compose instead of feeling rushed your delivery will be more clear and concise. Sometimes even the most mundane information can be more intriguing when worded in a way that everybody clearly understands.

The 'breather' you receive due to a more infrequent blog posting schedule also allow you to form and 'deliver' your own opinions or insights as well. More times than not your insights are more important to readers than the actual/factual information contained within! People want to know what others are thinking - it is human nature and helps us validate or disqualify our beliefs and/or opinions!

The frequency of your blog posting schedule can have a major effect on the amount of traffic you attract to your site. In fact your posting is an integral part of the overall blog building process however the question is at what frequency do you really need to post any new entries? The discussion above considers how a less frequent schedule of adding new blog entries can actually improve the overall performance of your site. The selection of what type schedule suits your time and talents will always be exclusively yours. It is just important to remember if you choose to post less frequently be sure you compensate your readers with great quality information!
