Wonderful Amrit. Yesterday I attended a workshop on article marketing, and the speaker said that it is best to keep an article to a maximum of 400 – 500 words – because that length is when people start to get tired of reading

Hi.

Nice to be here…I’ve visited this blog for the first time and I’m posting here already . I don’t think it is a question of too many posts or few posts or long posts or short posts: it differs from blog to blog and readership to readership. Yes, longer posts should be fewer for two reasons: your readers can only assimilate a certain amount of data, and, if you write too many long blog posts then when do you do your actual work?

If you publish the latest buzz and updated news and its mostly links you are putting there then having multiple posts daily gives you are more “updated” look.

Thanks Jim!

Haha.. it looks like I’ve got a lot more to experience in my road ahead. I’ve not been reading my feeds for 4 days because I was away in a seminar, and now its brimming with unread posts… man.

[...] As I indicated in a comment in a postÂ I read today over at Kian’s blog,Â I had to make my own sound in the echosphere. Yeah, I called an "echosphere" for a reason because Kian is experiencing something I have also experienced and continue to deal with like the feeling of having my eyes pried open with toothpicks and forced to watch I Love Lucy 24/7. I can only read Scoble’s take on a topic, or Winer’s thoughts about this and that, and what Doc told me today, so many times before I start to think about jumping out my office window.Â In this case only 3 feet off the ground but nonetheless, totally whacked.

My young blog student, you will in time you will get to the point of information saturation and be able to skim 3 times the feeds you think you have today. We constantly hear about the “echo chamber” of blogging. This is at the point when you have reached that threshold when you get tired of reading the same story 20 times written by 50 different linking authors. I have so many feeds I have forgotten how many. My unread items could take a normal person a week to go through if they wanted to read each post. That is of course if they are a “speed reader on steroids”, now you will have to Google that term to find what blog I put that statement on, because I don;t have time to link to it. Man, now I have to do a post on this! See why I can’t get into the reading part? I get all inspired!

Thanks Mike! Yeah I guess if you have something to post about, its great to be keeping up with a schedule… the only issue comes when you start feeling that you have been saying the same things over and over again at that time, its probably good to take a break… or maybe restrategise and think how to proceed forward.

I don’t really mind long posts I’m happy to read it all day as long as they don’t have more filler than good content if you get what i mean.

I post to keep up my schedule, after maybe a year when you begin getting the benefits of all your posts then i would have to agree to taking a break, but first i think if your new post post post don’t stop.
