What Traffic Strategy Will Work Best For My Blog?

Hi everyone,

First I'll describe my setup, then I'll explain what routes could take for bringing in traffic, and I'd appreciate your feed back.

I have a niche blog site in health and fitness. I've been writing about an article a day which I'll be turning into blog posts before I submit them to article directories and posting them as PDFs on document sharing sites. I may do some social bookmarking to the documents.

I plan to keep writing at my current pace till I have about 60 articles, currently I'm sitting at about 20. I'm building a sales funnel that will be my main source of revenue for the site, and when it's finished, I want to start posting the articles

My main question is this: would it bring in more traffic in the long run to post them more rapidly, say 5 per week, or should I keep them waiting in the cue, posting maybe 2 per week?

The idea is that I want to get most out of the content that I've written. So by posting them in a hurry, would I be running the risk of burning out their full traffic potential too quickly?

I welcome any thoughts and advice that you have to offer.

    Just try to syndicate your content to blogging communities, buy blogposts review with the same niche, link exchange ways, etc.

    Make your blog easy to reach by your niche readers. I think writing a lot of content is not going to get a lot of visitors, but make your blog more expose to blogging hot spots are more useful to get a lot of traffic.

    I dont think you will burn their full potential by posting them in a harry, as long as you take the time to promote each post enough.

    Usually they say, its best to publish at least once a day in the first few weeks or so (some say even a few posts a day). After a few months, publish every other day or so. then go to publishing once a week.

    But as I said, no matter what route you take, make sure you truly get the most out of each post by promoting them and building backlinks. Each post can be a great traffic generator for you if you can get them to rank for their keywords.

    By the way, dont forget to turn your posts into PDF and submit to document sites like scribed. Lots of backlinks and traffic will come your way.
    You can also turn them into videos and submit to YouTube and other video sites.

    To me thats the best way to get the most out of each and every artcile you spend time to write or pay someone to write for you.

    Good luck.

      With the articles, I would market each one pretty heavily before moving on to another one.

      Get the content out to as many places as you can - syndicate!

      Then, post another and do the same thing with that one.

      Turning them into video is a great idea as well!

    As people above pointed out, it's your link building effort that generates traffic and not the content itself (although good content does help attracting natural backlinks).

    You should also pay attention to the topics on which you are writing and consider how they relate to the keywords that you use to build links.

    To answer your question, it's better to roll out your content more slowly while building strong backlinks to them before moving on to publishing more.

    I like to keep it to a minimum of maybe 2 or 3 a week. Rather send less mails with high quality!!!

    Your best bet is to post them at a pace you can keep up with. It's one thing to go all out now and post 5 per week, but how long can you keep that up? If your readers get used to having 5 new posts a week, and then you suddenly drop down to 1 or 2 per week, they may assume that your blog is getting a little "stale" - and they may stop coming back.
