    I own a network of blogs. Last autumn I started a WoW Blog which currently gets over 300 visits/daily.

    I did nothing special, just applied my standart blog installation procedure and my standard promotion procedure. Mostly, it's all about SEO.

    2 weeks ago I launched a gadget blog. I applied the same tactic on this one, it now gets over 400 visits daily, even though it's 2 weeks old!

    I wonder, shall I write an ebook and sell it? An ebook about what I do and how I receive the traffic. Everything from how to write an article so users bookmark it till how to SEO your blog so you boost your traffic.

    Looking for opinions. Would you buy if it costed 19$?

    Sounds like a nice e-book.. If you write it and want a review.. let me know :) I've written a few ebooks. Mostly novels and one non fiction. Selling an ebook is hard.. Use clickbank and you'll be fine. Good luck!

    Personally i would write an Ebook and give it away to build up a mailing list this is what i have done with this ebbok www.ultimateguidetowordpress.com and has brought me over 2000 subscribers.

    I also have an Ultimate guide to Yahoo Answers ebook that i just completed this will be available shortly as well

    I wouldnt buy it cause I dont need to... However, I think writing an ebook can be a very good idea... you seem to have marketing expertise, so you will know how to market it right as well. Best of luck and do keep us updated.

    $19 might be a bit high.. I wrote an ebook a year or two ago and sold nearly 1,000 copies right here on DP @$10 each... Now i give it away free in my blog..
    If the price is right and if you get good feedback/comments you can sell quite a few..
