Well I have been slacking most of this month on updates and need some motivation to start making quality posts once again. In order to get the search engine ranking strong I need to make at least one new post per day. When I have extra time I plan on making 2-3 posts, even if they are shorter then I would like I can go back and edit them later. Here are my three reasons why updating your blog (and my own) is so important.
It Increases Traffic
The search engines will take notice of your blog and come more often. This means you will get more pages indexed faster and rank better for the keywords you are trying to target at each post.
It Keeps Visitors Coming Back
Posting daily is essential to keeping visitors coming back. You will get more RSS subscribers and at the same time a loyal reader base. Why do you think John Chow and Shoe Money have so many RSS subscribers? They post something that is interesting but at the same time will help them learn to make more money online. I have not taken a look at paid reviews yet which helps keep this blog my own word and everything that I want to talk about can be posted here.
There Is Value In Posting
With more traffic and link popularity you can sell text links at a higher price and charge more for paid reviews. The better quality the post is and more natural traffic it brings in the more value it will have.

I couldn’t agree with you more, Derek! Keeping content fresh and the ’stickiness’ factor up is hugely important. I also think email subscriptions and Facebook application are great ways to increase viewing and spread it around.

Which reminds me, I wrote a blog post about John Chow’s site and his tactics. Pretty impressive stuff when you break it all down.
