Being active in forums help bring in traffic; right? Of course it does. You have to get your own brand of blog out into the marketplace for people to read. Advertising alone will not bring you the traffic you desire but staying active is crucial to the health of a blog.

I have been working on a posting schedule for this blog and I have not yet nailed it down. Part of it is because of the demands of being a specialized employee, the other part of it is that it is hard to keep four blogs active at the same time. Thank God for weekends and scheduled posting.  This allows me to work on posts ahead of time and spend more time socializing with other people in forums throughout the work-week.

It is important for your readers to have something to read every time they stop on your blog to visit.  The more active you are on your blog the more you have to discuss in forums.  Think of writing as an exercise for your mind while you are working on creating new content for your readers.  Exercising your muscles is important to a healthy lifestyle; so is exercising your mind with writing.  One thing I have learned while I have been keeping a blog website going is that the more often you post the better your traffic tends to get.

Keeping your blog active can be difficult if you are not a full time blogger.  Most people who run blog websites part time are hoping to monetize their page enough to eventually quit their day job.  I must admit the life of a pro blogger  is definitely appealing; but you are not going to get there if you randomly post.  Your readers need some kind of idea of when you will be posting next or you will lose them; not to mention that you may encounter a spell of writers block.

 Staying active is good for both the reader and the person writing the articles that people are flocking to read.  The reason for this is that it keeps you thinking and enhances your creativity so you can write higher quality posts.  Quality and quantity are very important.  When you have quality posts and you offer them quite frequently the reader has more to explore on your page keeping them there longer and hopefully inspiring them to comment.  Plus you have more to advertise in the forums you frequent.

Staying active in both post frequency and socializing on forums is crucial to growth.  Everybody is looking for the next big thing, keeping active and current helps you with not only attracting new readers but also keeping your loyal readers appeased.  What do you think?  How active are you on your own blog website?
