Once you get visitors you need to keep them, I have used the idea before of doing a few articles in advance as a back up so if you are out of time for an update you can use one of these.

And while I don't fall to my pre-written posts often so that I can keep up with the latest news, hot trends, and keep my love for writing/publishing instantly, having the backup has been key for me many times. To take it a step further, I have even given myself a specific writing day. I just sit down, flip through my blogging journal (a notebook I keep of ideas) and start out on my quest to write and research. The result is that I have more time to network, respond to comments, work, and keep up with other blogs. Great post, thanks for sharing your tips!

I recently had an article published on <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/04/15/geoblogging-how-to-geotag-your-blog/" title="Click here to read my "Geoblogging - How to Geotag Your Blog" article on Problogger.net." rel="nofollow">Problogger.net</a>. The influx of new traffic that resulted from this was great, but it was also kind of a "gotcha" in that I didn't have any backup content to roll out so that these new visitors would have ample fresh stuff to read. The content I had already live on the blog was fairly new, but I typically only publish 1 - 3 new posts a week and I think I could have capitalized better on the little burst of first-time visitors if I'd had been able to publish more frequently during that surge of new traffic. Once I realized the opportunity that was passing me by, I scrambled around and got a coupla new posts out in the following days, but having some content to publish more immediately would've been more effective... Same thing can happen if one of your blog posts gets "tipped" on a social site too. During the brief time that you've got a sudden influx of new visitors, you want to do anything you can to convert those folks into regular readers or subscribers. Increasing your publishing rate is the best way I know to do so. And you need to make sure that the reserve articles you have for these kinds of instances are quality stuff, not fluff posts like memes or Top 10 lists or such - unless that's the normal fare on your blog...

Then I can fill in around them as time allows but if something happens I always have a post going live once every other day. This came in handy the month I was sick. Every blogger should live by this tip. I write about 15 market reports the first week of each month but set them to post over the entire month.
