How Often Should You Update A Website

By website, I also mean blogs. So how often should you actually update your blog or website? Some people do it daily while other have a schedule like updating once in 3 days or twice a week. Find out which is best and why.

Updating your blog daily is a good practice to gain more search engine rankings as they love fresh content and also for your readers as they’re looking for fresh information everyday just like they would expect on a news paper.

Initially I would suggest you always update your blog everyday with at least one or more posts until you gain some search engine rankings and steady traffic flow. It is easy to update one blog with more posts every day but when your business grows with more blogs, it gets harder to update all the blogs every day. You shall then start updating the blogs on a schedule.

I don’t recommend you to immediately cut down the posting schedule to 1 per week. You must gradually reduce. Like say, first you post every day. Then after a while you post once in 2 days, then 3 days and so on. While you do this, keep a close watch on the traffic and stats. If there are any signs of reduced traffic especially from search engines, it means you must act immediately and start updating more often.

I would better suggest you outsource the task of updating once you get success with one blog and later move on to the next blog. Even if you outsource, you must still keep posting often because out-sourced work may not be as satisfactory to many and that might again reflect in your traffic stats.

So the best way is to start with one blog, update regularly and once it gets good amount of traffic and authority, reduce the posting schedule and probably outsource the work then move on to a new bog. More blogs you have, more money you make.
