On Problogger guest blogger, Jeff from BuzzMyBlog- My Adventure in Internet Marketing writes an article that is funny, informative and heartbreaking at the same time. It is a that will appeals to both new and seasoned bloggers alike. Understanding the Blog Lifecycle To Prevent Common Downfalls documents the life cycle- or ups and down of a blog as it goes through its growing pains. he chronicle some of the typical pitfalls that most bloggers make when they dive into blogging in a serious way.
I particularly enjoyed this line:

Traffic decreases further. How many times I have written a 100+ masterpiece convinced it will turn the blogosphere on its head… and then a week later see that 3 people saw it :-).
Oh the PAIN!
Jeff has some good, solid advice, You can easlily see he has been at the game for a while. He serves up the usual advice- content is king, have a blog schedule, etc however his suggestions also have some meat on them and his article is unusually well written and comes with lots of snazzy graphs. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Jeff has some great ideas for linkbait and increasing loyal readership- including his own Weekly Buzz promotion, where you can get a Free Ad Spot on BuzzMyBlog.com.
You can read more from him on his own blog and I encourage you

Isn’t that the truth. Then the stupidest darn thing becomes an internet sensation….. weird.
