Just by having new information you will be likely to gain pageviews (and hopefully readers) as opposed to having better but less frequent content (where the focus I guess would be more on readers than pageviews) You make a great point…as a reader, I will read just about anything you put into my RSS reader as long as you maintain at least a mediocre post quality.

And I've been there Sooo many times lol. It's exactly what you said, the "quality versus quantity" debate. And unfortunately, I've found at least, that quantity slaughters quality. Assuming, that it is an acceptable post at least. The blogger who posts every day for two months, will succeed, as compared to the blogger who posts every two weeks for two months with really long informative posts. The fact of the matter is, it only takes minutes to read any post you can put out, and after it's done, people want more. If your not there to give them more the next day, then there gone. It's saddening, because I'm finding to keep up with other bloggers, I'm needing to spend more time researching, and less time writing. Jonathan Muller I know exactly what you mean.

Creative "sparks" are the currency of great blogs. Think of it differently than everyone else does: Most bloggers think, "What can I DO to get inspired." I think this is the problem. There isn't any act that can produce inspiration. I say, live your life with tape recorders and yellow pads everywhere you go. That way, when the elusive ideas come, you collect them. Great post.

I think in part, the niche and type of blog largely help to dictate which one will be 'proper' for both the owners needs and those of the readers. Finding the balance is important. With that said, in so much as the blogs I regularly read, I think I prefer quality over the practice of extreme quantity blogging. This is not to say that some people aren't able to successfully do both, provide extreme quantity and quality, but it is hard to do. I agree with you that finding a topic for the quality posts can be difficult sometimes... The quality vs quantity debate really can get pretty heated.
