How Many Blog Posts Before Traffic From an SEO Strategy?
👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.
The answer? Well, it depends. But high-quality, SEO-optimized content published consistently goes a long way.
Keep in mind:
- No one-size-fits-all answer. The number of blog posts required for SEO traffic varies based on niche, competition, and content quality.
- Google sandbox effect – New sites often struggle to rank because Google requires them to prove authority before indexing content.
- Importance of indexing – If your content isn’t indexed, it won’t appear in search results; consistency in publishing helps with indexing.
- Varying opinions on post count – Some claim you need 60-150 posts to rank, but bloggers have seen success with as few as 4 posts.
- Recommended posting strategy – Launch with at least 3 high-quality posts and aim for consistent posting (e.g., 1 post per week) to build authority.
- Quality over quantity – More posts don’t always mean more traffic; SEO-optimized, high-quality content matters more than sheer volume.
- Publishing frequency myths – Large publishers post dozens of times daily, but their traffic comes from factors beyond just volume (e.g., domain authority, news content).
- Alternative posting strategies – Some bloggers batch-publish posts every few months rather than posting weekly, and still achieve SEO success.

Once Upon a Time in Scotland

Harrison Ford is the new global ambassador of single malt whiskey brand Glenmorangie.
In a new series of short films by Joel Edgerton, the dry-witted Ford travels to Scotland learns all about the craftsmanship and culture behind the brand.
We even get to see Ford as he reviews the campaign brief and tells his agent he’ll take the ambassador gig under one condition: “I’m not doing all that action man sh*t.”
