Do you really need to update blog everyday?

It has been well over a fortnight since I last posted on Webtalks [you can still be with me and my mates at the dufusisfunda It would have been a prediction that this blog did experience a traffic slump, a decrease in feed count and obviously a decrease in earnings.I'll say a big NO to it.There was a slump but nominal one and has fully recovered now.



Instead of decreasing, the feed count is showing its highest yet(125)



As for earnings, Google AdSense team narrowed down the click able region of AdSense which had its effect but not that big. But now, accidental clicks are negligible and hence we prove we are promising :)

Now let me tell how did the poor posting frequency didn't effect my blog

Evergreen Posts As a part time blogger(or I must say occasional blogger) it is essential for me to write posts which are useful to for visitors even though they are reading it after a long time.
For eg, posting about new AdSense feature will not be as effective as a review with your personal touch of that feature.

Give your blog a break. Some of your posts are really good and deserve to stay on the homepage for long, so why to refuse them?

Google Juice. No new pages(post pages) gave Google a chance to index this blog deeply, which I believe it didn't do previously even though having a blast of back links

Be evil. (Just a personal opinion) No new updates I believe would have forced the regular passerby visitors either to subscribe to the RSS feeds, or to forget this blog.Losing such visitors isn't that costly because they hardly click on any of the ads and just contribute towards the page impressions, which hardly matters to a growing blog. If they would have subscribed to the RSS feed to receive the update automatically, I got few more readers

Update

  Its been a long journey which began a couple of years back for me. As I had mentioned in the post due to academic reasons I had to quite blogging at Power of IT in lieu of preparations for IIT JEE, a competitive exam in India to get admission into the prestigious IITs at undergraduate level. With God’s grace, I was able to make it to the top 5,000 at the country level with more than 4,72,000 appearing for it, henceforth, I am currently pursuing my B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee which is the oldest technical institution in entire Asia. This institute has produced many world-class engineers and also the first problogger from India, Amit Agarwal, who runs Digital Inspiration blog is an alumni of this institute .Two years of complete inactivity did have an impact on my enthusiasm of blogging impact, but it steel feels great to publish a post and be back again. As for my current situation, my parents bought me a brand new Dell laptop via which this post is being published. Apart from that, along with my academics, I’m actively participating in hobby clubs relating to Software Development and various other workshops to enrich my knowledge base. I’m really pleased to see the encouraging atmosphere here at IIT for co-curriculars. As for my planning for my near future




• With so many new ventures, I’ll be engaged in learning new languages for web development and then working on projects


• Power of IT is not up for sale. This blog was buid for learning purposes, though it uses monetizing services of Google AdSesnse, but the sole reason behind it was just to get some experience.




Apart from that, Blogger has really grown up, The Template Designer tool is awesome(even though it has kick assed my template business) and stats widget makes the thing less messy in terms of code implementation for non-geeks. A sincere apology to all those mails shot at me for any error/ suggestion regarding my templates and which were un replied. I would be looking for your cooperation in the future.
