Yesterday I wrote a tutorial on How to Use MyBlogLog to Succesfully Build Massive Blog or Website Traffic. The response to this article has been very good and even the people from MyblogLog felt that it was extremly well suited to help people out. Check it out and let me know if you've got anything to add!
Massive traffic is what you want it to be. If you work every day at it, your traffic could be in the thousands of uniques daily, I suppose. Combining strategies like the one I wrote about with others, such as carnivals, commenting, networking, and writing great posts will allow you to build your site to as large as you'd like. It is really all about effort, focus, and determination.
Over 1,000 per day from MBL seems pretty unlikely. I know some site owners who basically LIVE on MBL and rarely get over 500 visits. Now if those convert to subscribers it's worth it, but I personally gave up on MBL a long time ago.
You're both missing the point. MBL is a jumping off point. Through the site, you can find and interact with tons of other bloggers and blogs. The traffic you get may not come as direct referrals from MBL, but as a result of your activities on MBL. There is no easy answer, but if you follow the strategies listed in the article, and WORK really hard, you can build massive traffic. I never said it would be instant . . . if it were that easy, everyone would just be out there making a mint blogging. If you want success in blogging or any other field, you've got to work for it. People are always asking how to build traffic for their blogs . . . this is an easy way to go. It just takes time.
