Indeed, a lot of people start promoting a product like crazy and don’t even realize that it is built on a shaky foundation as far as content is concerned. Anything which doesn’t have value at its core will end up as a failure in the long run.

It seems so obvious, yet I see many sites that are so advertising heavy and so weak on content that you wonder if they can possibly be seeing much repeat traffic

I’ve read a lot of bloggers that say it is the best way to build your blog traffic.

The whole deal with the Web 2.0 idea is the emphasis on relationships. That’s what commenting is about.

For some reason I tend to be better at commenting on other blogs than I am at replying to my own visitors. I have no idea why. I’m working on it, though.

I completely agree that, as a blogger, you need to answer the “why would I, as the visitor, look into your blog and why would I come back?” question, and if “so that I make money” is your answer, your business model definitely needs some tweaking.

I noticed a substantial increase in my blog’s traffic when I began responding to people’s comments, visiting their blogs and even leaving comments on the posts they made.

I’m terrible at replying to other people’s comments! I have no idea why, usually I try and reply on my post, hopefully it’ll return a visit.
