One my manual blogs, the traffic is low like 300 ses a day... but overall throughout the network on manuals conversion ratios are strong like 1:200 on 5 separate blogs (3 manual and 2 rss driven)

one big thing ive learned from just plain logical sense and speaking with other bloggers is that the majority of return visitors will be very low unless you capture them. on rss driven sites, i would recommend removing dates. someone said this before but you do really need to "attack" using multiple methods and not rely on simple se to take you through... the last thing is, remember a blog is supposed to be a blog not a pic post splog (unless you design it that way) with 1 sentence...so if your sponsor has rss but not a strong feed write it yourself. tease to convert
