update – I didn’t comment spam anyone… yet. I couldn’t bring myself to once I was on their blogs.
It’s a fairly small space and I think it’s best to go through the front door. So I sent several link begging emails

Nice jump off points Garrett!
Just having quality content is going to bring in the traffic and like you said usually the returning visitor.
I think RSS subscription’s are key. Having an RSS subscription link properly placed and tracked can help with distribution, links and traffic.
I was on brian clarks site “copyblogger.com” and he had an interesting trick that is related to your first point. This can be used in conjunction with offering a newsletter with a free offer. I will quote him here:
“If you have a WordPress blog, use the free Feedvertising plugin to link to the download page for your free gift. Since Feedvertising links only show up in the feed (and not in the post), only feed subscribers will see the link and have access to the bonus.”
Pretty cool trick. Here is the link to the entire list.
Hey Chris Garrett used that on ME! lol:
I signed up for his blog feed recently to get a copy of his free ebook on killer flagship content, his re-framed link bait/great content concept:

I didn’t realize there was a plugin for that…
Thanks Joe!
I get most of my traffic by participation in related forums. I do get quite a bit of comments which require responses. You can check it out for yourself at my blogs

And when I respond to a comment, I go to the commentator’s blog to thank him/her for leaving a comment and let him/her know that I have responded to her comment.
