The thing is the tortoise route works just fine. So many blogs fizzle and die that if you just provide helpful content and do some self-promotion (without attacking anyone), you'll get there in the end!

It does cheapen the person in my belief as well. @Steven: It is always a pleasure to see you here, Steven. Insightful comments and a real motivator @Cash2Blog: Mitch, wise comments and for those of you who haven't given www.Cash2Blog.com a visit, head on over. It's really a great site. @Tracy: You are so right. It can make people go nutzo and the traffic spikes are tremendous. Trainwreck. Hehe. That's so true. I worked as a Paramedic for a long time. Referred to the crowds that always gathered as the "Uh-Oh Squad" @Sharon: Thanks. It does cheapen the person in my belief as well.

However, I also run a message board and I have to say there is nothing like cross poster drama to make the traffic go crazy. I don't encourage it, of course, but people are attracted to a trainwreck.

This is probably the least effective way of generating traffic. Maybe you get a lot of hateful comments back on your blog. Possibly turning away the repeat visitors he/she had. Challenging someone who is a expect in their field, just doesn't seem like a good idea. <abbr><em>Cash2Blog´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Cash2blog/~3/456647554/" rel="nofollow">Defining Your Blog</a></abbr></em> I would have to agree with you.
