I can only write that much in a week, with writer's block and other demands in life, it can be very challenging to keep up with the need satisfy readers. So when I have no post, I add a video or audio. I use mainly my personal articles. My readers enjoy reading but when I stop posting, the traffic dips.

I use articles promote my blog and when I do stop posting - writer's block - you do see the hits going down. It is quite simple for me to get it back though. just post a video or an audio. I find the people who are interested to read feel glad even to stay on line to watch to a good video. Yes. How true.

I get around this by maintaining several blogs: http://www.barbaraling.com - post 2-3 times a day http://www.askowlbert.com - post 2-3 times a week AskOwlbert's subscriptions grows faster than BarbaraLing's subscription but BarbaraLing's visitors are far higher than AskOwlbert's visitors. Each site satisfies a different way of building traffic. Data points, Barbara Morning,

AskOwlbert’s subscriptions grows faster than BarbaraLing’s subscription but BarbaraLing’s visitors are far higher than AskOwlbert’s visitors. Each site satisfies a different way of building traffic.

Running a finance blog would require regular updates since it is a fast changing medium. Much like real estate, make money online, fashion and technology. All these niches are ever changing and new information is made available. Not updating them would be detrimental to the blog. It's great that you noticed this and work with it too. :-) @ LiC: I think you hit the jackpot there with your observation.

And since then, I try to update my blog with defined frequency for that niche. How I define, that's a good question - but it differs a lot from time to time. For one of my finance niche blogs, I have to sometimes add 3-4 posts in a day, and similar over weekdays where as it's no problem if no posts over weekend or 1-2 in a day. For blogging niche, I defined it 3-4 per week. So anyways, I have seen a drastic drop in readers for my finance blog if I don't post daily. It's something I would continue, because the it has great revenue potential as well as already popular with investors. Well, I have seen similar behavior back then in 2007 with one of my blogs.
