Many bloggers start out writing 4 or 5 quality posts per week. But after a couple of months, due to lack of time or because they are running out of ideas, they gradually reduce the number of pure content posts on a weekly basis.
A common (yet not optimal) solution for this problem are the “linking posts”. Instead of sitting, thinking and taking the time to write a quality post said bloggers just gather a couple of links and post them with the title “Links for 2023-11-10”.
Even if those links offer a good reading you should avoid doing that regularly. Once in a while should be fine, just make sure that you are not throwing out link posts every other day. You need to think why your readers are coming to your blog. A good guess would be: because they value the knowledge you have, because it can help them in some way, because they are interested in your opinion. I mean, if the readers were looking for links they would rather head to Digg or Delicious don’t you think?
