Duncan Riley at the Inquisitr had a nice post (discovered via louisgray’s shared items) about the reality of building a blog. It is hard work, there is no free lunch. I particularly like this quote about building your reputation with search engines – both a factor of relationships and time.
…attracting traffic on a blog requires hard work, great content, and social interaction outside the blog. There’s also the time factor: most blogs take a good 6-9 months to truly establish themselves, not just in building traffic, but in building incoming links and good treatment in search engines. Take The Inquisitr for example: we did more traffic in the first 13 days of this month than we did for the full total of our first 3 months.
