I'm pretty green when it comes to blogging... and yeah. I'm sure you guys will say I'm a moron... but I started building my own little network of blogs a couple days ago over on thumblogger... I just want to see what I can accomplish on there before I start spending money on domains and hosting etc. for that.
I'm treating it as it's own little network from "scratch"... i.e. no linking from my established sites... All I've done so far is submit the first one to a bunch of blog directories and do some pings. First day it was interesting it got over 200 hits from the directories and has been dropping like a rock over the last 3-4 days... I haven't seen any bots crawl it yet.
So here's my question.. What do you guys do to get "real" traffic in there? Is it basically going to be SE long term? Other than directories, pinging and SEs, is there anything else I should do that yields "real" cost effective (time) traffic?
