Dustin has a post on Long Tail Blogging. I can agree with that whole heartedly. On the Real Estate Bloggers the past week had  1500 different posts that are visited. Think of that, 1500 different reasons people come to my site in a given day through the assorted search engines.

Never forget that blogging is the Long Tail. You may have a hot story that will drive a bunch of traffic for a while but if you keep putting up quality posts you have the chance to drive long term traffic to your site.
