Every new blogger struggles to find out answer to one important question-How often should I update my blog?There can's be an exact answer to this because if you will ask this question to 10 bloggers you know,they will all answer differently.So what should you do? 1.Experiment- One thing you can do is to experiment with your posting frequency.Different blogs have different readers and moreover the writing style of me and you is different.You don't know what your readers may like.They might want you to update your blog daily,every two or three days.So,better experiment with updating frequency and analyze the results. 2.Blogging Niche- This is a parameter on which your posting frequency depends.If you are running a tech blog that provides tech news,gadget reviews etc. then I would recommend to post atleast 5 posts a week.However if you are in SEO niche then 2 or three posts a week will work.In short,publish at-least 3 posts a week no matter whatever niche you are in. 3.
