Why should you post regularly in Your daily blog?

If you have a blog, you should regularly update it. The regular update doesn't only enrich your blog with contents but it also benefits you in different parameters. From the time, I started my blog, quite a few numbers of times, I was forced to keep a gap of good number of days because of several other engagements. And every time, I left blogging, the number of visitors came down and Alexa rank took a hit. However, the traffic is not the only point of concern; there are several other implications when you take a leave from your daily blog.

Your daily blog is your work place. Though it doesn't have a full-fledged office, it is nothing less than a routine office work. It does make more sense, when you are a full time blogger. When, you go for a leave, it becomes bit difficult for you to concentrate and write a good content, when you come back. Blogging also needs lots of reading. When you comeback, you still remain in another world; you may take some time to dive in the same habit of reading and writing your daily blog. Over all, it may take few more days to adjust yourself to the blogging habit.

You must be having a loyal user base for your daily blog. Your blog is just like a shop and you have handful of loyal customers over there. However, when you go for leave, your customers have to visit other shops to fulfill their needs. It is not sure that you will get back your customers, when you reopen your shop. Thus, there is always a threat of losing your loyal customers, when you are out for a vacation.

Many search engines including Google regularly crawl your site. These search engines always give a preference to the new and updated contents. If your site is kept idle for long time, you may slowly loose the rank in the search result. And the obvious result is loss of search traffic and the ripple effect is observed on your Alexa ranking.

Even if you go on leave, you don't have the luxury of keeping yourself totally isolate from your blog. This is more valid, if you are also handling administrative activity of your blog. You may get important e-mails from different sources pertaining to your daily blog, which may need your immediate attention. In an unfortunate case, your website may be hacked and it needs to be taken care of immediately. Thus, if you don't have anyone to take care of admin activity for your blog, you don't have any respite.

Does it mean that you will not be able to go for leave anytime? Not really; you have a work around for the same. You may have to have enough articles in stock. You have to post your stocked articles at regular interval of time. For the admin activity, you may have to have a back-up or otherwise you need to take care of it yourself intermittently.
