What is more attractive for readers frequent posts or posts that actually are worth reading, obviously answers could be it's a balance. I ask because little organizations that do not have the bandwidth don't have the time to post every day. I have read best practices on frequency and length of blog posts etc... I believe that being an information resource is key but if you can't update regularly is it worth it? My focus is around building links for SEO but truly being valuable to my client base and potentially new clients. I think I know the answer but curious what everyone else thinks, if in fact people are still reading this post! Thinking of launching a blog.

Many corporate companies have stopped fighting web 2.0, social media marketing (twitter, facebook, blogs and such) and have started accepting it. I like your point about not writing Blogs when you are engry because clearly we are emotional creatures. I'd simply just walk away from computer and refrain from writing when I'm mad because last thing I would want to do is get into pissing blog comments/posts match with someone because they said something about my work or my creditiability. Here are some addtional ideas for Company blogging. 1. Posting regularly is a must. Since this is a company blog, idea is to get in touch with your audience and stay in touch with them. Let them know what products are being worked on etc. 2. Don't ramble on when writing a post. 3. Make sure the look of your blog correlates with your company website. 4. Have entertaining material. Yes even companies can do that. At the end of the day, keep your audience as your focus and write for them. You can't go wrong. Matt,

Yes I got exposure but I also got a lot of pushy sales people...not cool lol.

It has certainly become far too easy to tarnish the reputation of competing businesses online. No company is safe, which begs the question, should Google even be considering Blog & Forum Posts. The answer is of course yes, the key point is that the majority of the time these posts are infact accurate and are an excellent way to gauge the quality & trustworthiness of a company. I just think Google needs a better way to detect inaccurate posts. Any new news on this Matt? Nick @ SEO Geeza

It may be useful to create a schedule detailing exactly when you are going to produce new content. A blog thrives on new content, as we all know and users expect there to be new posts every time they visit. I’d say that regular posting is essential.

The last one is valid not only when you are angry. It is always good to leave post to wait for other day, after is being written. Tomorrow, when you read it again, it sounds like you are reading somebody's else post, so you can give some critics and maybe change a few things in your blog. I totally agree about these tips.
