Why You Should Use Roundup Posts for Your Blog: Benefits and Recommendations

I’m sure most of you out there have written some pretty good blog posts in the past month. These articles might be currently sitting in your archives or inner pages, only to be mostly discovered by search engine visitors.

Some adventurous readers might casually browse through your blog page by page, but not all have the time nor the inclination to do so.

A solution is to use roundup or summary posts, which are simply short link-heavy posts which highlight some of the great content you’ve written within a specific time frame.
There are several clear benefits in doing roundup posts:

  • Reinforces your blog niche. Sometimes bloggers tend to dabble in several off-topic posts or articles and deviate from their blog’s original focus. Roundup posts are a great way to selectively showcase posts that strongly pertain to your blog niche, while giving the illusion of content consistency.

  • Provides convenience for your readers. If you publish several posts in one day, you’ll eventually end up with a large amount of posts for each week or month. Casual readers of your blog may miss a few posts here and there, and bringing them all together allows them to go through material they haven’t read.

  • Offers a bite-sized snapshot and introduction to your blog. Like other posts on your blog, the summary article is likely to pick up some traffic from search engines. Visitors arriving at the roundup post will immediately be introduced to a list of strong articles with commentary. This is an excellent way to develop a good first impression.

  • Internal Linking is healthy. Internal linking can pass PR value to your individual post pages and is a opportunity to repeat keyword anchors, which further define webpages in the eyes of search engines and may help you rank better for your post titles.

Which Posts should I include in the roundup?

There are several methods you can use to choose the blog posts. You could pick the ones which are well-written and presents your central blog theme in the best possible way.

An alternative would be to pick them according to the number of comments or links they’ve each received or the number of pageviews according to your stats package.

I would suggest structuring roundup posts around a specific timeframe. If you make multiple posts (5 to 10 posts) everyday, it might be useful to do a weekly roundup because of the heavy volume. If you only write one post a day or every few days, a monthly roundup would be ideal.

And so to take my own advice..
