Just started and am doing blogs right now.

really depends on how either is designed

this a very informative thread : )

I prefer blogs because better ratios with less traffic + I like hands on HTML, CSS work rather than running scripts and letting it do everything(I'm weird like that)

How about making a tgp network of 100.000 daily traffic plus a blog network of 50 blogs or so.

Putting text links on all the TGP's will make my blog network grow as well.

Isnt that an idea?

If you can do both you will have traffic from more sources than doing blogs or tgp's only so why dont you do both?

It is possible to send tgp-traffic to blogs so it would be a great combination!!

Don't quit your dayjob.

both, or a hybrid...

blogs because I have greater contol over what I do and I am a better writer than I am a submitter

Yeeee, but most blogs get way more SE traffic.

Nowadays blogs are really no different than TGPs.
The only difference is design.

I sort of agree. Those using just sposor created RSS feeds are nothing but TGPs in sheep's clothing. However, those that take the time and write their own content will stand out. Particuarly with niche and fetish surfers.

i dont use any rss feeds, i write all my own entries, and mine is niche specific.

i have never used rss feeds, because i know 100 other blogs will be using the same ones, and the content is the same.

you are better off doing your own unique material

Exactly. They are entirely different mediums for traffic.
