1) Blog traffic comes from both direct and SE sources. Know your strategy re where you want your traffic to come from.
2) Blogs are great traffic filters. If you have a low latency/high volume traffic source, maybe you want to make it more sticky through a blog format?
3) Update daily. I can't emphasize this enough. The more updates you have on more subtopics within your primary keyword/topic set the better. IF ANYONE NEEDS CUSTOM TEXT AND FRESH RESEARCH DAILY AT *DIRT CHEAP* PRICES -- ICQ ME OR EMAIL ME.
4) Blogs can be parasitic or independent in terms of traffic. There are many pools of HIGH VOLUME traffic that you can tap into if you build a blog focusing on a topic that the pool would be interested in. Note: the more you stray from the focus of the network the higher the chance your blog will be deemed as spam and deleted.
5) The Power of links. Make sure you update with blog linking methods in mind. This depends on who you are focusing on -- direct readers (high value traffic)? sophisticated blog readers (highest value traffic)? Filtered readers (mid to low value)?
