Google seems to favor with higher ranking key words on more recent blog posts.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>You get many more visitors to a blog post than you may think.

It works both ways.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>When your life gets really busy, it&#8217;s helpful to have a pre-written &#8220;bank&#8221; of blog posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What&#8217;s been most popular on this blog recently as well as over time?
