This blog initially got a quick surge of traffic for a week or two from SU, but like you, I knew it was temporary. That traffic comes back sometimes, but it will never be steady. MrCooker, Good point. There are certainly some long-term benefits even if the traffic coming from the social media sites is only temporary. Killer Pickle, I can imagine that traffic wouldn't stick around. Thanks for sharing your experience. Prem,

MrCooker,
Good point. There are certainly some long-term benefits even if the traffic coming from the social media sites is only temporary.

Killer Pickle,

My visitors in one day went through the roof but after that it dwindled back down to normal levels. It works on the short term but not the long term.

Instead of relying on it, just embrace and be happy you're getting it. In the long run, the exposure and the backlinks will only be good for your blog.
