That's a good point about in and out visitors being good for short term success and repeat visitors being good for long term success. Case in point, on one of my other sites I just finished an advertising deal thanks in large part to my repeat traffic. Easton - Thanks for the comment.

This situation is full of ironies. I think the best mix for a monetized blog is just that - a mix. You've gotta be open to the fact that one-and-out hit-and-run traffic tends to be more clicky-clicky and generates more instant ad revenue - but it's also good to remember that having loyal readers may well be more valuable from a long-term financial standpoint. For example, if you cater only to the one-off folks, it's less likely that you'll be able to seek one of them out and ask for help spreading the world about your blog or website. Great post and good to meet ya! Excellent insight, Brian. This situation is full of ironies. I think the best mix for a monetized blog is just that - a mix.
