WRITING FOR INCOME I am a freelance writer with a BA in English and minor in Film Studies.

I also screenwrite in my spare time for fun. VIEW ALL MY BLOGS
The quality of your blogs versus the quantity of your blogs is a common topic of discussion amongst bloggers and web publishers. So what should you do? Create oodles and oodles of blogs and web pages concerning several niches or should you focus more attention on a few high quality blogs and articles? This is a bit tricky! I was told that you should do both, in a way.
Obviously you need to create quality content articles and blogs if you plan on anyone sticking around to read them, or coming back for that matter. A bunch of text with good key words isn't going to do the trick alone. That's why you need to create quality, unique web pages and blogs that actually teach people something substantial. Useless content loaded with keywords just looks like spam. If you teach them, they will come back!
But what about quantity? Well, the game of web publishing and blogging is not solely about quality content. Quantity does play a part as well. You can't actually think
that 30 quality blogs are better than 500 quality blogs. It's a numbers game as well as a game of unique, quality content. With more great web pages and blogs in circulation, you're likely to make more money on the web. That is, if you're linking them and getting great links to them. That's where free directories and article announcement websites such as Digg and Stumbleupon come into the picture. Once you've linked your quality blogs and articles together for the reader's convenience, you will likely get more traffic circulating.
In the end, the game of web publishing and blogging can prove tedious and/or difficult just like anything else does. It is work! However, if you keep building great web pages and writing unique and insightful blogs, you will get traffic. So, in my humble opinion, I believe it's a game of quality and quantity. So write on!
