I agree with all of the networking and commenting on other's blogs. I am very intrigued about trying to find those voids that can help give a blog more exposure, I am trying to think of some of those "voids" that will help my site. Thanks for the ideas.

Some good advice from someone who has been there. Your blog is full of useful stuff for other bloggers and I think that's one of the main ways to increase your sites popularity. People always appreciate quality content. Thanks. Some good advice from someone who has been there.

Sometimes you show up as having 0 "authority", etc when you actually do. Anyone else find that sites that get statistics from Technorati, etc don’t always get the right value?

I pretty much agree with all that you've said here, and especially network X 3... One thing to add though - try networking with people inside your blog genre but not in the specific topic. I've found that a lot blogs inside my niche don't add much to my traffic but those in related ones do. Case in point, the blog "The Art of Manliness" refers people to my martial arts blog frequently while blogs in my same niche of "mixed martial arts" doesn't. Just food for thought. Randa -
