How important is the frequency of updates on a blog?

June 22, 2010 - 10:52 pm 12 Comments

Some people are under the impression that blogs are good for SEO only if they’re updated frequently. How much does frequency play into PageRank for blogs & other dynamic sites? Isn’t the content more important than the simple # of posts per day/week?

    Surprised Matt didn’t point out the obvious misconception about PageRank in the question. PR is purely a number based on inlinks, it has absolutely nothing to do with update frequency, or even what the actual content is.

    Interestingly enough, I’ve found myself automatically skipping the top five Google results to get to the information that I was really looking for.

    Thanks!

    I still think that yes this is correct but then you can go check sites like engadget.com and gizmodo and even the hot hot hot mashable they do post some posts filled to the brim with content while others are short and to the point. Just posting this to make people aware of what’s out there. Finally I’ll mention Boing Boing which also perform well in the search engine. But you’ll notice they all do have the odd high quality post.
