  1. Thank you for the blogging tips, definitely helpful advice.

    Angeline.

  2. Hi Stanford, I really enjoyed listening to your podcast. Clear and detailed with a relaxed voice!

    I recommend that new bloggers get some good habits early such as actually posting and promoting your blog everyday for 15 min!

      Glad that you enjoyed it. I took a break over the Easter weekend but will be back in front of the mic this soon!

    Great tips, Stanford. I love how you distilled it down into three simple questions. So many don’t take the time to do that.

    Also, thanks for the kind words about my post. Glad you liked it. “Do or Do Not…There is no Try” is my favorite too! I think a lot of folks can benefit from that jedi wisdom. ;)

  4. Kelly, while it is not required, the one who does it has an advantage over the remaining who are still pushing content once or twice a day. Most bloggers I know do it weekly. I’m a strong advocate on both: quality and quantity. The one who combined the two is the leader :)

    What do you say?

    • Kelly Brough says:

      Well, I can’t dispute that if you have relevant content to achieve quality publishing daily or more, that should positively impact results. My point was really that there are many factors that focus specifically on volume might not be a silver bullet.

      You will know your area of expertise best and that is the biggest determiners of what is required to succeed. Choose your goal and step by step work your way to achieving it.

      Good luck.

    Hi Stanford, just a quick thanks for the podcast. I’m a new blogger and listened to your podcast for the first time. It was really motivating. Thanks!

    @codrut if you have a staff and the audience and topic which requires it, then maybe. I’ve been in the web world for a long time and would suggest that it is not required to publish 24/7 for google. Quality will get you the reward before quantity.

  6. good tips & ideas. what do you think about publishing massive content on your blog like 24/7, each and every hour. Is this possible? Or, how can we make it possible?

    P.S. Google rewards blogs/sites with massive , fresh content. Why not give them what they want, right? :)
