But I definitely appreciate the info. I got into this stuff not knowing anything about SEO, or website development...can't even get Google AdSense to work on my page yet. Also, I listed my website here. Seemed ironic. Thanks again, it was useful information to say the least. Well, way to burst the new guy's bubble. But I definitely appreciate the info.

If the goal is not SEO or ad-income but a group of regular readers, fans if you will, which would be interesting in buying content, like ebooks or subscriptions, content and consistency is key, but instead of link generation, commenting on other blogs is the best way to attract new people. If you can guest post on a related blog, obviously this is really easy for "how to blogs" since they all write the same kinds of posts, that is a very quick way of instantly gaining new readers. If the content is not related, only a few of them will stick. It definitely depends on your definition of success.

Content is king, and that is what I tell all my clients. Generating useful and interesting content should be your top priority. I haven't had any experience with paid directories. I am preparing an article to submit as a guest post, so we will see how that goes. It definitely should work out well, dependent on the blog's pagerank and traffic. As for leaving comments, it is something I am guilty of, though I don't do it for traffic. I only leave comments to articles I genuinely appreciate. And I try to be honest as possible with my comments, I'm not going to lie and say I enjoyed the article when I didn't. I view it as a reward. Receiving comments on your blog from readers, especially positive feedback, is very rewarding as a blogger. So I try to reward fellow bloggers whenever I find a post that is exceptional. However, there is a potential beneficial side effect. There is also some hope that they check out my site, but rather hope that they subscribe to my feeds and return the favor and give me a reward when I write a great article :) As a web developer, I too side with the same search engine camp as you.

I like to comment to meet new people and interact. Good things do come of that too. You're right though, there are millions of bloggers, you better have a memorable brand or just do it for fun. There is money in blogging if you have unique content. The problem is, too many people (including myself) are too lazy or don't have the time to create truly orginal and unique content.

I agree that the ads are pretty clear that they are in fact, ads. Therefore, I leave the responsibility to the visitor on whether they want to click it or not. I'm not encouraging anyone to click them. Do you ever post your blog revenue/earnings? I enjoy reading such posts. My December update will be posted next week. Thx Tom:
