How often should I blog?

This is a common question. For each person I offer this same advice… As often as you can!

Not everyone is made for blogging. Some people seem to run into road blocks mentally and feel they have nothing to say.. Some just spout things out like they are some fountain of information. You are most likely in between.

The more you update your website with unique content, the more important your website becomes. The main websites out there in any industry are constantly changing. Those that change every few minutes will have the search engines scouring them all the time in order to provide searchers the most relevant information.

If you begin blogging, set up a schedule. Maybe the first 10 minutes of your day is dedicated to popping out a quick thought about your business or industry. Maybe you take one day and slam out 5-7 articles and post date them to hit one every day. Whatever your strategy, stick with it. Let Google and Yahoo get used to coming back to your site everyday for something new.

And if you get stuck and need inspriation, do a search for information related to your industry and see what others are writing about. Chances are someone either has it wrong or can inspire you to express your own take on a subject.

The bottom line is that frequent changes to your website prevent your website from becoming stale. With the right focus on blogging and SEO strategy, your website can stay at the top of Google and Yahoo all the time!
