Since being online I noticed a common trend between all bloggers regardless of heritage or niche. Karen mentioned in her last guest post here that we shouldn’t feel guilty as bloggers if we fail to post daily. In fact this strategy has been endorsed by other heavyweights in recent times.

It is interesting to see that bloggers like Maki have changed their own approach to the frequency of blog posting in recent times. Whilst he was blogging about volume before, he has now resorted to posting every less frequent. And it seems to work for him. Maki says that by focusing on content and quality rather than on frequency we don’t need to push out content that is worthless. In his post about strategic blogging attempts he states that he has adapted a more relaxed approach to posting content because he chooses to adapt to a new idea.

It is never too late to change strategies as this clearly shows that even the most visited blogs do this from time to time. Blogging is a journey of growth and implementing what we have learned to better our own blogs in the process.

Quality is therefore more important than anything. It always has been and it always will. Just take all those crappy splogs that appear at every blogging corner right now. They won’t stand a chance and they won’t last.

These people are simply dumb and very lazy people who aren’t even deserving the name of blogger. They steal and hope to make money doing so.

Court has written an excellent blog post about what to do to drive visitors away from your blog. It is titled “the worst post in the universe” and justly so.

But regardless of this, Court wrote this to open up our eyes in terms of what we should never do as a blogger. Please do take the time and read it. I admit, it is annoying and does take time and you might even get a headache in the end. But it will be the best headache you ever had.

By focusing on quality rather than quantity we will have a better chance at gaining new and happy readers. I never realized this until I became serious about my blogging. That is when I started my Writers Manifesto blog. I don’t care if it takes me 1 year to build the blog to be something that is recognized amongst bloggers. But I do care to write informative and helpful content that helps others to avoid making the same dumb mistakes I did.

If you do the same, then I am confident that one day we will meet in person at a blogging convention because that is were I intend to go.

Hope to see you there.
