Now that you know why it is important to come up with a consistent content posting schedule, I want to give you a little insight into what I personally do to help jumpstart the rankings of the content I publish. Though this is what I do, your regimen may be different. You need to come up with what works right for you. But if you want to copy what I do, I have no problem with that.
WHAT I DO THAT HAS WORKED WELL
I post once a week on the same day because right now one post per week is more my speed. I am currently building up my saved “Drafts” so that I will always have content on hand ready to post, should I not be able to pump out new content in time for my posting date. The day of the week I choose is Wednesday, “Hump Day,” because it is dead center in the week.
Another reason why I like to publish once per week is that it keeps my last blog post visible in the top spot of the blog roll for an entire week and creates more engagement. Then when I do publish a new post, Google sees that my Home page has fresh new content on a weekly basis.
Currently on average I publish more blog posts then I do pages, about 80% blog posts and 20% pages. My website is currently at 25 Pages and 30 Posts. When my website was younger I had way more pages than posts.
This is perfectly fine with me because I have my Home page set up in the default WordPress setting as a blog roll. Being that Google loves a website with many internal links, having your home page as a blog roll is in essence a page of internal links. – I will be discussing Internal Links in my next training.

I'm thinking of publishing one new post every saturday which I hope will be OK. This should save me a ton of time for other things (like programming, lol).
