I'm more concerned about quality over quantity. Yet there's some kind of fuzzy logic that in reaching those 3,000 passers by you're more likely to hit the 20 you want to hit.

Though I'm as guilty as anyone in checking them regularly as one of my biggest daily stats ever was for a light post about a hamster powered shredder.Fun but hardly a great piece of writing. I measure 'success' by who the blog happens to connect with or what may happen behind the scenes as a result.That sounds awfully like a 'networking' and 'personal branding' viewpoint (eeuuuw) but I don't purely mean work connections(honest!).It's connecting to like minded people that I value more (which I know sounds like a banal Miss World answer but it's true).

It's good to know. Jake - Very valid point about commenting and trackbacks. I sometimes struggle to find the time blogging demands and I know I should do more in terms of participating on other blogs. It's something I need to make an effort to do more of.

I really never realized you weren't that large of a blog or that you weren't but a month old. Your writing doesn't show it. However, seeing as I have pretty steady of at least 100 visits a day, I would recommend what has proven to be the best method for me: make lots of blog comments and trackbacks, but never in a spammy way. Not sure why, but this seems to be the biggest traffic booster. Keep it up! I really never realized you weren’t that large of a blog or that you weren’t but a month old. Your writing doesn’t show it.
