I aim for several posts a week, but I am doing very varied posts - so if I am doing a lot of writing then there could be two Beth posts and one recipe or Swiss post. Or if I write about something topical (such as last week the stillbirth one) then I might follow up on a second day.
Tbh, I struggle a bit with getting the mix right. Sometimes I post almost every day and then I have a week where I don't know what to write.
I think I am going to start doing drafts of posts that I can slot in when I am on holiday or I have a cba week. So this week, I will do a couple extra posts and save them for next month.
The impression I get is that bloggers don't like to talk about how many hits they get - it is all a bit secretive. I get anywhere from 50 to 100 hits on a normal posts, occasionally there are posts that take off for some reason - the mummyblogger one had over 200, the stillbirth ones similar. The measles ones has about that too, and still getting hits as people search for info about measles in France.
Sunday/Monday I had over 450 page views, which was loads for me. Sadly it is not clear when I write the post if I am going to get 10 hits or 100. The mummyblogger one was RTed by a few influential bloggers, so got a lot of hits.
Twitter is good, but you have to use it effectively. And commenting on other blogs, if you have time.
Tbh, the whole blogging thing could take up a whole working week, if you were to put the time in, and since it is a "hobby" and not a money earner, you have to strike a happy medium.
