What Happens When You Don't Update Blog

The most important work that every blogger do in blogging is "Content Creation" or so called updating blog. Everyone will recommend you to update your blog everyday regularly but my recommendation depends on the blog niche and content that provide. Well, you guys always try to update your blog regularly in order to serve your readers better, impress search engines to gain more traffic and also to earn more income. But sometimes suddenly any incident happens and you're completely unable to update your blog and at least you've not touched your blog more than one week. So, do you know what happens when you don't update blog? Then today, I'm gonna share that behind story that every blogger should know.

1. Traffic Decreases

The first and really bad thing for bloggers happens is that blog traffic decreases. We don't any kind of decrease in blogging but we love increase. The traffic decreases by several reasons. Lets suppose your blog's social accounts have millions of followers and you also update those social accounts with your new blog posts links and some percentage of regular traffic is coming from there. So, when no update, those social accounts will also not be updated and you may be loosing traffic. There will be thousands of fans of your blog who'll be notified by any method about your blog update and they may only land just for reading out new latest post and if they don't receive any notification then they also don't arrive on your blog. 

2. Earning Decreases

It's true that you will lose your earnings if you don't update blog for long time. The reason is traffic decreases and ad serving statistics also decreases. You may be using any PPC or CPM or any other traffic to revenue converting advertising network and their earning depends on the traffic you've so simply if you loose traffic than you may also loose earning. Yes, if the earning source is different like direct banner advertising in which advertiser put banner for 30 days on blog or paid posts than you may not face earning drop. 

3. Loosing Readership

Believe me or not, it's true that readers don't like inactive blogs. Just take an example, will you to like to eat 2 days old worst food? You'll probably avoid eating it and will look for the fresh food. Just like this, readers don't like to read old content or your readers may already have read it. They want new fresh content to read and become your loyal readers. Yeah! If you're unable to update your blog than you should notify your readers that you'll be inactive for some days in updating your blog due to any incident. This will not loose readers hope and they won't unsubscribe you.

4. Crawl Rate Decreases

Search engines keep your blog crawling again and again and it's good to have great crawl rate. They also want new fresh content to crawl and rank it better in search results to help you drive more traffic. No doubt, rankings mostly depends on the on-page SEO factors but getting search engines crawling our blog is good. The more search engines crawl the blog, the chances are more to get better rank in SERP. But when we don't update our blog, crawl rate decreases and it may affect on current rankings. It may also cause to decrease search traffic.

5. Work Increases

When you don't update blog work also increases. Do you know what kind of work? It's all about blogging work. Let me tell you more about it. When you'll come back to blogging, you'll find too many awaiting moderation comments, too many awaiting reply to comments, too many emails to check and reply, too many notifications and some other small small things that we do usually in blogging. After that, we also want to recover the rankings, earnings and readerships. So, while getting restart you'll need to face big work in initial once everything is back like previous.
