Well, according to the always evovling Mineer rules, the reason why you should blog everyday is because when you don’t – you drop.  Now, with a keyword like Mineer that is not that big of a deal.  However, if I were focusing on a larger (more popular) and more profitable phrase then taking 10 days off in a row like I have would actually do quite a bit of harm.  So to answer my question, you should blog everyday in order to show the search engines that you are an active, regularly updated, and personally attended to blog.  This is the case for those of you who are doing personal blogs and those of you who are trying to make some money.  Search eninges really like content and therefore really like updated blogs.  According to the great Boyd Norwood, who runs a Multi Level Marketing Success Blog, search engines will return more often if they find that your site changes often.

 Why is this important?  If you can get the search engines to come back to your site on a regular basis (daily or close to it), then almost anything you decide to blog about will begin to be indexed by the search engines and you will be able to rank high more quickly on more words – even if it only is a low demand word (name) like Mineer.

From a personal perspective, I have noticed that when I go multiples days without updating my blog (or without blogging) I tend to drop from 4 to anywhere from 6 to 8 (the new number 4 doesn’t count because I own that domain name).  Therefore, if I would only take a few minutes a day to write a few small words then I would be able to keep myself on that first, non-scroll, page.

Until next time,
