Great detail and chart. I’m reviewing it at StumbleUpon and just added a sentence and links to this post in my pillar post Top How to Make Money Blogging Resources. I’ll link it instead of my home page from the website field in this comment to make it easy for you to find it.

I see that all your research and hard work is paying off and look forward to finding out more from you and linking to more of your great posts.

Excellent information in this article. Thanks for the clarity of your comparison chart. It is critical to see how high frequency ranks along with content quality.

As a reader of Problogger, I know that Darren reads the comments and works hard with timely replies.

Not only will I benefit from this article, I will share with my Twitter followers.

Continued success,
Gail

Great article! Found this post by googling “being a successful blogger”. I recently came into the fortune of being one of Blogger’s “Blog of Note”, so that got my blog a lot of attention. I had about 40 readers before, and now I’m steadily reaching 350. It’s insane. I never knew that that many people would care to read my blog.

Anyway, you’re definitely right about commenting people back. Especially when you have a blog popular blog with lots of comments, it can sometimes discourage people from commenting. People think “well, there’s so many comments here that the author probably won’t reply to mine, much less read it”.

I like to ensure my readers that I DO read every single comment that is left, and I try my best to reply to most of them.

I just discovered your blog and it looks like there are lot of useful info. Where is that other post that explains how to get that initial visibility? That’s the most pain of it all…page rank takes time and there needs to be some service to bring the blog to the masses.

Yes I have read on numerous blogs that building list posts are an excellent way to drive traffic so I will be doing a few more of those over the coming weeks.

very nice research. i think the big thing is to offer quality, easily digestible, insight to your readers, as often as possible. and then make it as easy as possible to return. from there its all consistency, relationship building, and seo. and of course lists are one of the best ways to do this, so i think your headed in the right direction.

our company blog is not designed to make us money, but I just did a post on top ten easy blogging steps for SEO an the like and it receives our most traffic by far.
