In addition to the backlinks it generated, I formed real relationships with the folks I was exchanging comments with. This led directly to work requests, invitations to join networks (I was one of the very first members in 9rules.com), national TV interviews, and more. I'm not bragging here. Rather I'm underscoring the importance on relationship in building a blog's success. Success of course means different things, according to your own goals. In the case of a service provider like myself, success means targeted traffic, not mass numbers. While relationships can certainly create traffic, I find that the real strength of building a blog this way is in the quality of that traffic, rather than its total size.

Still, I might add a picture like you suggest... maybe someone will actually care about what I think if they can see how haggard and unkempt I look. Pity reads for the win.

I am so glad I stumbled onto your blog! You have so much great information here.I have grown my blog significantly over the last month and half, but it's not easy on the promotion end. It takes a lot of time. I'm hoping to find some efficiencies in this area.And I also want to put some energy into making the blog more attractive. If anyone stops by my blog, please feel free to give me a critique and I'll stop by yours to do the same if you'd like. Best regards to all. Sully Wow! I am so glad I stumbled onto your blog!
