Much blog content is more suited to a static source of information, or (even better) a slowly evolving source. I think a big part of the "blog frequently" idea is that it's good for SEO... and yet the grand ruler of search rankings is Wikipedia, which is a slowly evolving source of knowledge. Thank for prompting me to think again about how I blog. Well put. Much blog content is more suited to a static source of information, or (even better) a slowly evolving source.

I think a big part of the “blog frequently” idea is that it’s good for SEO… and yet the grand ruler of search rankings is Wikipedia, which is a slowly evolving source of knowledge.

Thank for prompting me to think again about how I blog.

But this is only the starting point - the important question is why frequent is equal with success online and how this could be changed. I can see several problems here: to interpret a blog post it is helpful to know about the author so there is a natural tendency to read the same author again and again, a really insightful text requires a lot of effort to read and understand and nobody would do that for some anonymous source, I would speculate that there are also some reasons in our neuronal circuity that rewards more frequent signals than sporadic stronger signals (for positive signals).
