(And I'm thinking of someone like Problogger as A-list, with 24,000 feedblitz subscribers.) The most exciting thing about blogs is their permanence. People will continue to follow good links on a blog weeks and months later. My hunch is that short focused posts provide more immediate traffic. And longer, more thoughtful posts can send a steady stream of traffic over time--if the blog is organized in such a way that people can easily browse archives.

I click on my favorite blogs at least once a day (and your blog is in that number now, Marcus, both useful and interesting!), but scan my CSS blog list 1-2 times a day for the rest. It seems that the CSS refresher that google uses catches up a half-day late. So... unless I visit just in case you posted, I will most likely see your post the next day, depending on my schedule. I know many people who scan blogs once a day at a specific time. If the blogger happens to post later, the blog won't be read till the next day.

Does this mean people went back to the referring blog and said, "Oh, yeah, I forgot to check out that link. Okay, okay, I'll do it."? I’m curious about the Tuesday links sending Wednesday traffic.
