Posting frequency to gain blog traffic

I do admit that in the world of blogging I am still an amateur, that as of now I am still discovering other potentials this social media can offer.
This blog is just around for at least 6 months,but so far I am pretty much happy with the result of my traffic though I really dream and aim of gaining more traffic and readership as this has been the measure of the quality of ones blog. Writing good post and article is one of the factor that can gain any blogger the readership and visitors a blog should deserve. As I am studying my own blog I found out based on gathering my daily traffic from Sitemeter and observing it from day to day during my free time, I found out the every time I am posting more articles I see a surge in readers and visitor though I understand that this visitors and readers may not be the unique ones what I mean of unique is those people who are frequently reading my post and subscribing to my RSS feeds, so far I have a consistent RSS subscriber of 12 and sometime it goes up to 15 and 17 but so far the mainstay subscriber to my blog is around 12.

In this self analysis I do realize that traffic do increases if you frequently post fresh ideas in your blog. In conclusion therefore the more ideas, tips and advices you post in your blog do affect the traffic it gets. So the question is, how often should I write a post in my blog. Well I can not get the fix number but my traffic do increase in a month if I post at least 12-15 post. And given this stats I am compelled to post at least within that number, but often times composing great ideas can be tiresome that I often find it hard to create good quality post. These are just my own opinion and self analysis of what I experience in blogging. Aside from this I am continuing to figure it out other options and scheme to drive more readers and visitors in my blog. If you have any suggestion then it is most welcome here. Have your say and I am very much willing to listen and learn from others opinion and view.

Powncing my way to get expose and share something.

Just this recent month I have joined Pownce another social site out there, to boost my blog exposure and traffic at the same time share something to other bloggers and internet users. I am by no means trying to endorse pownce here. I just enjoy using this tool for blog traffic, find friends ( friends a good source of traffic and comments. LOL) and share something to others virtually. Pownce has its own style and attitude in delivering what they are up to and that is sharing, promoting and socializing. For now, they are what they say they are a Social site with a different twist. Though I found it a go between twitter and boxnet still this social site has its own uniqueness. Using Pownce enables blogger to share files, photos and links about things they love and like. So if you are interested in this Social site go Pownce them here.
