Almost all big names bloggers - including me :p - always say to you that you have to write a post at least once a day! Never let your RSS subscribers inbox empty!
Now I have changed my mind. Yea may be that works for many people (or at least for them) but for me, It doesn’t work that way.
By the time I running this blog, Sometimes I left my blog and readers alone with no new post on a single day. Did I lose them from visiting this blog? No! In fact I have many new visitors coming to this site, and everyday the feed subscribers is growing up.
About 40 days ago, I have about 430 people reading my feed. And now, I have almost 800 feed readers here. Isn’t that cool?
If we want to increase our feed readers, or increase our site visitors, then we have to think like feed readers or like site visitors.
I have about 30+ feeds on my feed readers. And one of them is GarryConn.Com feed. That time, Garry was running his blog on a human orientation.
He create a post, answering questions etc. Then came to the day when he made a new resolution. Write posts like crazy with hope to get as many pages as possible to index on Google.
Yea, now his orientation is search engine not readers anymore. The results? There are so many posts flood on my feed readers.
Somehow I feel like being attack by those spams posts. I feel no comfort at all with this new habit. That unfortunately force me to unsubscribe. Too bad.
I have to admit that Garry is a good writer and I like many of his thought. But tons of posts on my feed readers everyday, I would rather to subscribe to a news site feed.
I don’t always time to read my feed readers everyday, And neither have time to visit blogs that I like. So it’s OK if you don’t create a post in a day.
If you really don’t have something useful and quality thing to write, then don’t! I would like to choose to let my feed readers empty rather then you gave me your ‘daily post’. thanks
ps: Now I have subscribe to his feed again.
I would love to you have you back as a reader and subscriber. The journey in blogging (and I am sure you know) involves making mistakes. However, the important part about making mistakes is learning from them. You’re article is spot on… though a little late. I went about a week with the drive to go post crazy and quickly realized that it was causing harm in growing my readership. Since then, I casually publish one article per day, everyday at 1201 AM CST.
The articles are typically short, to the point and rich in quality. I would love to have you back as a reader and subscriber and hope that you accept my invitation.
Best Regards,
Garry Conn
yea, i know it’s a little too late, but hopefully people (and i) can still learn from this.
thanks

Rapidshare Links Blog anyone will like to Subscribe

I think you are right, coz it can be annoying if you get 3-4 email pr. day, when u subscribe to a blog!
A Tip to success in feed subscribers, if you want to go my way -> Post some quality content regularly. Once in a blue moon, go for a virtual vacation and there you go - Your loyal site visitor(s) will be compelled to subscribe to your feeds.
One post daily is one daily spam mail if you ask me
Why my PR blog could not in the check? Every time I the check always emerged “CAN NOT Connect to the server..”. what Pagerank checker was good? Because my blog PR3 before (subdomain), and PR2 for domain.
