Great post. Just started blogging. At least a post a day mostly about my biz's industry.

How much traffic did u have 1 month after starting? 3 months? 6 months?

What were some things you started doing that really started boosting traffic?

It was real small. The first two posts I emailed everyone I knew to let them I was starting to blog. It also pressured me to keep it up (no one wants to look like the idiot that says they are going to do something and don't keep it up). But once that faded- it was maybe 0-10 unique visitors a day for a bit. It kept growing and now I see a minimum of 100+ unique visitors a day (days I post). I'd recommend experimenting with the titles. Titles make a difference in this age.
