Blog Traffic Building
One of the key inherent benefits of a blog are some tool's inherent traffic making capabilities. I have outlined some of these in conversations, but here is a great description of how Blog Tracking services up the ante on how to get your blog noticed.
Scobleizer does a great job here, and even goes so far as to summarize his 5 rules of conversational software that also shows the differentiation of Blogs to other tools as well as being a hell of a shorter read than the eight pages in my last post 
This is one of five things that make weblogs different from standard old Web pages. (I've written about the five rules of conversational software before, but they are 1) Easy to publish. 2) Discoverable. 3) Social (track linking between sites). 4) Viral (permalinks are built for each content component so that content can be IM'd or emailed around). 5) Consumable (blogs should publish RSS feeds so that readers can easily subscribe to your content).)
He provides direct tips on how to get the most exposure for your blog. Definitely something I have to look into after I delved into my stats last night.
