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?

Generally, like all content, it should be as often as you can manage and if that means two or three times a day then do it. (If it means two or three times a week, do that).

Using a site like http://www.blogpulse.com will show -- for chosen keywords -- just how quickly a posting gets recognised, although from experience, "hosted" blogs such as TypePad and Blogger will get more notice than self-hosted blogs, simply because Blog Pulse may not recognise your blog as a blog, even if it is produced by blogging software like Wordpress.

As for length, try to keep it less than 250 words and perhaps use a keyword density tracker like the one at http://www.justwebcontent.com/content-tools/keyword-density/ to keep track. Aim for no more than around 5% on any keyword phrase; I think keyword densities of 15% look unnatural and are hard to maintain.

The general rule is that if it reads well, it will do well: Google's latest algorithim actually reinforces the readability aspect of content, partly because machine-written or even bought-in content is usually rushed and poorly written. JustWebContent.com also have a readbility analyser at http://www.justwebcontent.com/content-tools/readability-analyser/

If you write good post 2-3 good posts weekly are sufficient, more over try to make a reader base.

Stick to a good frequency. Say if you could post twice/thrice a day. Do it regularly without fail. Orlese if you could manage even 3 posts within a week time, maintain that frequency. Generally speaking daily one post would be better and easy to do.

I would aim for about three times a week. That updates your blogs frequently but without becoming too much of a burden on you.

Hi,

I have found that one post per day will get you a good amount of readers and visitors. People will visit your site everyday if you post everyday because they will be excited about what you have to post next!

Thanks,

IBW13

If you neglected your blog you want to build confidence again. Several times a week may be too frequent if you can't keep up.
Two to three times and then increase if you can.

I don't invest resources into free blogs. Get banned for ANY reason and it's all gone. WP and Blogger dump affilate blogs all the time.

I think 2 posts are sufficient to become a regular blogger.

It depends on what topic you are in.
But if you are writing for SEO, it is better to
post at least one article in your blog a day.
The more the better.

Usually people will get tired of posting everyday, so
you can choose to post an article a day, or 3 in a
week, depends on your free time.

The most important point is to post at the same
frequency. For example, if you post 5 articles a
week, stick to it. Don't post 10 articles this week
and none in the following week. Be consistent. Very Happy

PSP has given good advice.Maintain frequency while posting.keyword density must be 3-5% in articles.

Is it that we really need to write our posts according
to the keywords? I'm not sure in this, hope to
have some ideas about this here.

If you are seriously going for it, at least once a day

i have recently increased the blogging frequency on two of my blogs. Not achieving daily, I have a demanding day job. But the increase in traffic and SERPs position from my marginal increased posting is pretty impressive

Although that posting frequency is important, but make
sure the articles you post in your blog are something
that people in your market are looking for.

I used to publish articles everyday, but the articles
are not really that quality. After that I reduce my
posting frequency and I truly write the content for
my readers.

Guess what, my blog's readership increases from
then on. Wink

Shawn I think it really depends on the niche you are in. There are some niches that just do not lend themselves to many blog posts, not much going on in those niches. But there are others that are very topical and dedicating 30 minutes to a quality article is not too much to ask
