WordPress Posting Schedule

Keeping a posting schedule is excellent way to bond with your readers. It helps you build authority with them. It also can be hard to maintain so in this quick how to keep a WordPress posting schedule guide I want to cover some easy and simple ways that can help you achieve that goal.

The benefit of a posting schedule not only helps you build confidence with your readers but it also helps search engine bots maintain their schedule around your schedule. It is simply telling search engines this is when you can expect new content consistently three days a week on this day at this time. So in the end it will help you increase not only where you are listed within search engines but your page rank will increase faster. More importantly you will get listed for a wide variety of keywords relevant to what your niche website is about.

Let’s check out WordPress backend real quick. I have this post already formatted so let’s click posts then add new. Simply copy and paste your new article within the field. Then fill in your article title. Then fill in relevant tags. Fill in the matching relevant keywords.

Don’t forget to add an excerpt and brief descriptions. Here you will want to make these brief and 160 characters or less. Plus you will want to mention and bold your keyword you’re aiming to get listed for. By bolding your keyword in your description and excerpt not only helps your readers but it helps search engines understand that this main bolded keyword is what this article is about.

Once that is finished instead of clicking publish immediately you will want to click the edit button next to it. This will give you options to specify a date and time. Simply publish it to a later date and you’re finished. What will happen is when that set date and time come to pass it will automatically publish the article for you. It is as simple as that and will help you build your article management skills.

Keep in mind you can setup a personal article day to work around your posting schedule. Publish three articles one day and post date them on your selected days but at the same hourly time for each day. Now my main goal which should be yours as well is get a few weeks of articles already lined up. That way due to any unforeseen circumstances arise you will not miss a beat because you have those articles already set to be published.

With that this is Scot Manaher signing off.
