No, I’m saying match the number of posts on your home page to your update frequency to give each post a decent chance of being indexed as being linked from the home page. If you do 5 posts a day the you may need 60 posts on your home page.

Let me get this right, your saying to remove old posts from your home page to maintain load speed but keep about 14 post to maintain content. Right?

I have seen this too on wordpress sites, it does seem to fluctuate though as some of my sites didn't show the same results. Jesse’s last blog post..Secure your Wordpress site Part 1

I totaly agree with you . Yes it does matter. I was away the other week and did not get the opportunity to post an articles for one week and my traffice just went to zero for a couple of days. It bad, very bad. Then I posted a numbers of articles and slowly it went up again.

My gut feeling is to say go without whatever keeps your content there for 2 weeks or more. Then again it all depends on the nature of your blog and the type of posts you make? If you’re an image intensive blogger then obviously that is going to impact seriously on your load time and turn visitors away. However, if your posts are mainly text then you should be ok, even a 56K modem can download a lot of text per second.

This is pretty interesting and I think you can certainly say that even if there are “other influences”, it certainly seems that leaving the posts on your homepage for longer has a big effect.

My next question would be – if I’m posting multiple times per day, what do I do? Should someone be showing 28 posts on their homepage, if they post twice per day?
