That was really great, especially the answer for
Why the dramatic jump in traffic?

And that you planned your move for achieving targets
+ 15 comments every week (statistics)

It’s always great to be proactive(approach first) rather than be activated only on triggers (approach one only they hit your way)

Wow! What a great blog. I constantly feel overwhelmed by what I “should” be doing on my blog. Michelle broke it down so it is really clear and purposeful. Thanks for such a great interview!

Although, I see the Blog Alliance a bit far away from my blog -I wish will be closer- Definitely, It will help to enhance my blog in several ways.

Thanks for sharing

Best,

Nice interview! Great responses Michelle! Nice pro-active list of definite things I can do to promote my new blog when I start in 2010. I’ve had a personal reflection blog but didn’t want to take the time for a professional one until I met you, read your ezine and seen how it works for others in photography like myself! Thank you!

This encouraged me to really start engaging more on other blogs. Michelle is right about really thinking about what your posting. I skim right over boring comments, but people who have something interesting or add a humorous twist to their post catch my attention.
The interview was great!

Between Michelle’s proven tips/techniques and your work Doug, you two seem to be the “go-to” folks for blog success within the industry. I’ll be fowarding this along to all my clients to contact you for future business. Many Thank You’s!! A+ Stuff.

Definitely could see doing calls to action here at BB. Have been looking at the post RT factor also; you can look at comments etc. too to get a feel for what people are discussing. And I’ve been doing a bunch of commenting elsewhere. Great interview and we should see if we can get more of these, too. Also, I just got through reading Darren Rowse’s August post on “Blog Alliances” http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/08/25/let-me-show-you-inside-a-secret-blogging-alliance/
Technically, we here at BB could do something similar with our individual blogs.

Doug,
Great interview. It always useful to hear from someone who is successful in a given area, and Michelle sure fits that category when you’re talking blogging alliance. Those reasons for herjump in traffic are helpful hints to follow.
