Yes, I'm still reading. I'm sure this is a question that comes to several of us. How often should I post on my Activerain blog? Is there a magic number? With the point system, you might feel the need to post your little booty off but don't do that just yet.  Here are some tips and ideas to think about before you post too much or not enough. Ahh, it's all about the balance right? Wax on Wax off!

Blog Overload- AR is so exciting at first, well- it's always exciting. Some people sit back and read for months before they post. Others (like me) jump in head first and never look back. Some of us have so much to say our fingers won't type fast enough.

Be careful not to get overloaded or burned out. If you are constantly blogging and blogging, you might just get overwhelmed and throw it to the side. Remember, it's quality not quantity. You can have a million posts but they might be the famous 'crap' post or you could have ten post that are all featured. Pouring out several blogs over and again can result in producing poor content. Don't feel as if you have to blog for the sake of blogging. Remember- Do not get burned out and it's quality not quantity.

Fellow AR Overload- So, if you think you are getting overwhelmed by all of your blog writing, don't you think that your readers are to? People can only ingest so much. If people can't keep up with your 'ninja' blogging, then they might lose interest. Remember- less can be more. Give your readers a break every now and again. Unless you are the AR King and every thing you write is 'feature' worthy. Hey, there are people like this on Activerain.

Fellow AR Involvement- You need to space out your writing to give each post enough time to generate commenting and involvement. I am guilty of this. I had so many blogs going at once, I couldn't even keep up with the comments or the conversation going on in each blog. This made me look like I was absent when I wasn't really, I was just overhwelmed. Go easy, grasshopper.

SEO- On the flip side, a good reason to be a blog 'ninja' is for SEO purposes. The more blogs you spit out the more likely Daddy Google is going to swoop you up into his arms and give you a big fat kiss. You really have to consider what is more important to you: your readers or SEO. Loading your blog up with intense pages of content and posts can frustrate readers but will make the SEO Gods giggle with glee.

Who Are Your Visitors? If you have a million visitors, being a blog ninja probably will not have that big of an impact on you. If you only have a few readers, then it will be obvious that you are overworking your blog. Here on AR, it's probably better to continue to go with quality.

Your Post Length- This has been discussed several times before. It really depends on what you are writing about. I mean, you just can't blog about world peace in two paragraphs or less, right? It can really be annoying to readers to have an incredibly long post. Most of them will skip over it. That's why it's good to highlight the important parts. Of course, if it an interesting topic, it wouldn't matter if it were five pages long- people will read it. So, it really depends on the topic as to how long your post should be.

Balance- How much you post is all about balance. You have to get a feel for your audience and what you think they can handle. If you are posting a good bit and not getting reader involvement, well there's your answer. You need to find your blogging groove and stick with it. Some people don't like change, if you post three times a day- people will grow to expect it. It's all about consistency baby.

So, you will be the judge on how often you should post. It's not up to the AR Gods or the readers, it's all up to you. Get a feel for your groove, baby. It's all about the flow, you know? Hey, that rhymed. I'm a poet, didn't know and my rhymes should go down the toilet. Okay, I'll stop.
