Benefits And Drawbacks Of Daily Posting

You have the option to publish a post everyday, post every after 2 days or publish a post whenever you like. Whatever posting pattern you choose to implement on your blog has its own sets of advantages and disadvantages. In today’s post, we look at the benefits and drawbacks of daily posting.

Benefits Of Daily Posting

1. More Traffic

Publishing a post everyday invites search engine crawlers to visit your blog more often. As more content is added in your blog, more pages from your blog are indexed by search engines. As a result, you will receive more traffic from them. Moreover, by publishing more posts everyday, not only do you invite search engine crawlers but you also encourage your loyal readers to regularly check on your blog for updates.

Daily posting means your feed is updated everyday. As this happens, your feed subscribers could end up visiting your blog to leave their comments or read the rest of your post (partial feed). With daily posting, you can also drive more traffic to your blog from networks syndicating your contents through your RSS.

2. More Backlinks - SEO

With daily posting, you increase your chances of getting more backlinks for your blog while at the same time giving search engines more content to digest.

3. Improve Your Blogging Skills And Habits

While daily posting demands a considerable amount of your time, it helps improve your blogging skills and habits.

Conditioning yourself to publish a new post everyday will drive you to think and be more creative. It will also help you improve your writing and research skills.

Drawbacks Of Daily Posting

1. Daily Posting Requires More Time

The biggest drawback of daily posting is that it will consume much of your time, hence, not advisable to busy folks.

2. Daily Posting Might Compromise Quality Of Your Post

Check blogs with only one blogger but publishes multiple posts in a day. What’s glaringly obvious is the “not-so-good” quality of post published.

Daily posting, especially with blogs that has only one blogger, could compromise the quality of posts. This is a result of insufficient time for the blogger to do the necessary research, proof the post or further improve it.

3. Information Overload - Readers And Subscribers

Although overfeeding search engines with more content to digest is not much a concern, over loading your readers with more posts to read could be a problem.

As you give your readers and subscribers with more posts to read, you might end up discouraging them to read. As a consequence of information overload, some of your feed subscribers might unsubscribe. You will also notice that your posts will have lesser comments. What’s worse? You are actually driving your readers and subscribers away from your blog.
