I think you really hit the nail on the head about social media optimization being the biggest weak spot. I have accounts on Digg, Delicious and SU, but the only one I've ever tried to promote PBD a bit on was SU, and even then, it was a half hearted attempt. Just feels strange asking other people to vote for your stuff! xD I know it's something I should fix though (And it would help with the next weakest area you pointed out, blog traffic :D ). I hadn't thought of Mixx or Propeller or Youtube or any of those though! I have an account on Design Float, which is well targetted to my blog, but again, I haven't used it as much as I should! What did you mean by visible and useful policies though? Comment and privacy policies? As for the author info; I have a section at the end of each post for the author's info, but I don't have a photo of me on the blog anymore. I suppose some people do like them, but it never made a lot of sense to me. I'm quite happy to have no idea how someone looks, and just judge them by their writing. :D (Though I guess it couldn't hurt to put up a photo for those who do like to get to know a blogger better!) Do you have any thoughts on sticking with direct advertising sales, or joining an ad network? :) Thanks for the massive review Easton!
