Steve Pavlina on 'How to Build a High-Traffic Web Site (or Blog)'
Steve started his site one year ago. He had zero visitors. This month he is projecting he will have over 700,000 site visitors. How did he do it? This article tells how.
Interestingly, Steve's perspective goes against the grain of many of today's blog models. He is against disposable content (i.e. Engadget, Gizmodo). He says, "Virtually everything on this site is my own original content. I rarely post blog entries that merely link to what others are writing. It takes more effort to produce original content, but it’s my preferred long-term strategy. I have no interest in creating a personal development portal to other sites. I want this site to be a final destination, not a middleman."
IMO he is right. When "The Great Blog Shakeout" (every industry goes through a consolidation phase) occurs in a few years, you will see the ones with the 'real' content remain. (Article)
