If it is some small piece of niche news (like V-wag tends to publish), you will only get those few people who actually care clicking through.<br><br>Publishing cycles have expanded to include dozens of posts a day on some of these blogs. Only a few posts a day will catch fire. It\'s the way it has to work, I fear. Thus the belief that these sites are driving less traffic per link.<br><br>Once you get past that top tier, then the traffic that any individual site can drive is nominal unless they happen to write for a very close-knit niche. Example, a post of mine appeared on the front page of a blog in New Zealand for 2 days. The traffic for the site is about 1/20th of Digg but I probably got 10k visitors in that period.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9691636" class="dsq-comment-message">The whole question of traffic flows versus traffic ranks is very interesting, particularly as it applies to ranking "services."  I had a post yesterday about geek t-shirts (one shirt has a graphic equalizer display on the front that measures ambient audio, the other is a wifi detector, both are battery powered).  Doc Searls linked to that post and I got a huge (for me) traffic boost from his linkage.  Today Norm Jenson linked to it and I expect an even bigger boost from Norm than I got from Doc.  Doc is on a new blog, but his readers seem to have moved with him, and he probably picked up quite a few in his new community.  Norm just keeps plugging away at One Good Move year after year.  We\'ve all heard of Doc, but how many of us know Norm?  Hard to say, but I\'m guessing Norm\'s traffic dwarfs most tech bloggers. So he has this huge volume of readers, but I\'ve never seen him on the top bloggers lists.  There is food for thought in that.  As the real number of people using the net goes up, I wonder what that does to the relative percentage of tech blog readers and to the real number of tech blog readers?  I think we\'re in a very small and specialized niche.</div>\

We don\'t get huge traffic -- a few thousand page views -- but the traffic we get is extremely high quality, and as a result our transcripts have now been discovered by many senior executives in tech companies. We\'ve had similar experience with <a href="http://PaidContent.org" rel="nofollow">PaidContent.org</a> in the media sector.<br><br>Traffic from Digg is spiky and tends not to result in recurrent readership.<br><br>We get a relatively larger and higher quality traffic stream from the sites for Apple fans, such as <a href="http://appleinvestornews.com" rel="nofollow">appleinvestornews.com</a> and Mac Surfer, which we are on frequently because of our extensive recent coverage (again, from a stock perspective) of the iPhone.<br><br>Also, we have a tag for housing for content covering the housing market, and there\'s a lot of traffic from housing related sites.<br><br>Hopefully this is a slightly different perpective than the pure tech focus you guys have.</div>\

Everyone expects every site to have huge numbers but that\'s never been consistent with media business, or television, for that matter. Niches are just going to be smaller and that\'s that.<br><br>The top vertical publications in print media, for example, has about 50-80k circulation and that\'s considered high for a vertical. I think the web is going to prove basically the same, but the industry overall is still a little closed minded and inexperienced to understand it yet. People haven\'t really even really discovered that Alexa has flaws as an analytics tool, or that traffic can be and is bought/engineered. I think it\'ll be a long while before anyone fully understands what traffic should look like in niches, like techmeme.<br><br>So, you hear a lot of that garbage but don\'t blame the messenger.</div>\
