One thing about the internet arena, you don’t have much time to rest on your laurels. Since you need more traffic every single day, you can’t sit back and celebrate, even when something goes your way. If you do, you’ll end up getting complacent. This is almost always a mistake. With long tail search, your rankings tend to fluctuate daily, so looking for new rankings is often a good bet.

If you start to get accolades about your blog posting, don’t let it go to your head. It certainly is a good sign, but you have to maintain the same high quality or you can expect to fall out of people’s minds quite fast.

Yes, you’re only as good as your last post and you just don’t have time to sit around admiring what you’ve done. You still need more visitors, no matter how well your last one went. So now you’ll have to focus on your next post, or the one you’re doing right now. And when that one’s over, you have to go on to the next. This is the nature of the type of traffic generation that’s quite successful in the current blogosphere. Bloggers who update often tend to be rewarded for their persistence and consistent efforts.

Blogging almost always comes down to a debate between quantity and quality of posts. In reality, the bloggers who tend to reap the most rewards post often and post high quality posts. They keep their eyes on the prize and put their best feet forward every day.

If we follow the same plan, we’ll end up right along them in the pantheon of the greats. Or, at the very least, we’ll generate more traffic to our websites, which is the ultimate goal anyways.
