Relying too heavily on social media traffic is pretty easy for bloggers to do. If you have some time to work on your blog you can go after social media and maybe see a few thousand visitors within 24 hours, or you can work on developing some other types of traffic that might lead to a trickle of 10-25 visitors per day in the short-term. That’s a pretty convincing reason for most of us to concentrate our efforts on social media optimization. However, despite the potential to get a quick rush of visitors, that’s not a good reason to ignore the need to build other sources of traffic as well.

Great point and one I ran directly into in the last few weeks.

I'm glad the qualification was made in the article betweem niche networks and the behemoths (Digg, SU). I'd consider traffic from Sphinn to be the highest quality possible (for our niche).

I think the social media optization thing is over and out.
