    As some of you are aware, I have a blackhat/grayhat blog out there. I'm used to the relatively immediate rewards of blackhat, so I thought I'd ask and see if this is on par for whitehat promotion, and to see what to expect in the future.
    The blog has been alive for 5 days right now.
    Right now, without and digg/reddit submission, I get 78 unique IPs/150 page views. Althought today is looking better than that already.
    I have 16 feedburner subscriptions.
    Is this on par for a 5 day old blog?
    And more generally, how long does it normally take for a blog to catch on?

    I'd say that is pretty good for a 5 day old blog. It can take a few weeks before you get into the mid 100's from my experience. Just keep making good content and people will come. Digg and Stumbleupon can really help your traffic if done properly.
