i know this is an illegal and kinda stupid comparation but lately i could choose between buying R$5,00 worth of weed or R$20,00.
i thought it was the same, the same weed anyway but i started comparing them and even thought if you buy R$20,00 worth of weed in 4 diferent R$5,00 packages from my dealer you’ll have more weed i’ve started noticing that the R$5,00 packages we’re greener and smellier even thought they we’re smaller.
in this particular situation i choose quality over quantity. mainly if the weed you’re buying looks almost brown not green and comes with all kind of bs in it. three days ago i was rolling a J and there was a huge spiderweb/insect nest in my weed. fucking disgusting.
when it comes to blogs i think quantity is pretty darn important since if the blogger only post high-quality stuff but takes to long to post i’ll just get bored.
my favorite blog “www.hempadao.com.br” posts quality stuff but mainly they post new stuff twice a day making it my favorite cannabis culture blog becouse i always have quality posts to read. if i want to read good stuff i’ll just sign a couple of magazine and i’ll have stuff to read every month. (the magazines/newspapers decision are kinda related to this quality over quantity since newspapers come out everyweek representing quantity and magazines come out every month but have better stuff in it.)

My blog is not epic, but I try to post only tings that are of quality interest to my self first and then I have to think would anyone else really give a ‘crap’ if I can’t honestly say yes to either then what is the point in hitting publish.

quality is more important than quantity…surely but most times bloggers get bugged about having lots of posts per week..(am guilty too)..thats ends in lots of junk a few quality..
personally i rather have quality once in a week than quantity of junk daily ..

Why not do both – on the blog where I have the biggest following, all of my most popular posts – in terms of traffic, comments, and search engine appeal – are “series” articles. I write an epic article/post, doing everything I can to make it the highest quality, then break it down into more easily-digestible chunks. I then publish the segments once every day or two, until all of the content is published. The biggest downside to this is that the links are somewhat diluted and the commenting can get fragmented, but I (1) make it clear which post is the first in the series to encourage links to point to that first post, which improves the ranking for that post more than the others, and (2) lock the comments on the early installments, encouraging people to comment on the final segment.

Definitely quality is more important to me… if you have one good content, and you have a lot followers that one content could be equivalent to 5. For a blog reader like me, I usually follow blogs that make sense or at least provides useful information.

Interesting read.

In my humble opinion, quality beats all. I do understand the fine line that bloggers must walk to educate and entertain readers while at the same time appease the Google monster, but after once being a CBR (compulsive blog reader), these days I’d much rather spend a few minutes on an awesome post filled with valuable nuggets of knowledge.

High quality is probably the most important but I also like brevity and well structured easy reading texts. Then again, I suppose that’s a part of the quality label too. Definitely also depends on the niche your blog’s in of course.

There is no doubt in my mnd one long 2000 word post which actually provides useful information is way more useful than 5x 400 word posts which waffle. In fact even if the 5 posts had the same content (overall) as the one 2000 word post I would prefer the one post becasuse a) its easier to read and less disjointed and b) better for the search engines. I don’t blog regularly – but when I do I try to make it useful – all the most useful blogs I follow have the same approach – some wont blog for months but when they do …
