No problem niteshift, you actually have brought something to the table that not too many people are aware of, or even think about.

Many very successful people point to their blogs as an intricate part of their marketing and promotion success.

A good blog not only creates an interest, but it also generates traffic. Tie it into an RSS feed and it gets viewed by not just those visiting your site, but the 10's of thousands of people who subscribe to that subject matter through their RSS subscriptions. ( It's a tool that I myself need to better understand )

In saying that I would like to point out to those who might just be getting started that everyone that has experienced any degree of success will tell you, "No one thing is going to put you over the top", it's about doing a lot of little things consistently
well.

Success in this business is not an immediate gratification process, it's a long term investment plan. Know the options, do the research, and take great joy in the little accomplishments along the way.

Speaking of a tool that has helped me make good decisions, you all should check out www.alexa.com. It's a great tool to see if the site your thinking about becoming involved with is worth the time and effort.
