I had the exact opposite: my /blog started getting crazy traffic, so I started ignoring the mainsite.com to update the blog fairly often and keeping the bookmarkers happy etc... and it went to PR3 before it was sandboxed... the domain was virtually ignored...

We transferred our LCN Girls blog from an off-site sub folder (internetsexnetwork.com/blog or /news/bnews.html something like that) where it was PR3 to a blog.livecamnetwork.com location and it hasn't recovered since.

And where I used to give a lot of credence or importance to click-to's it seems irrelevant in this instance because we get a lot of clicks to the posts, especially when they update regularly... and poof, no wanna no bwana...

traffic never really mattered, these were all fresh subdomains and fresh folders with blogs, i never transferred any sites

I work completely organic these days, I don't try and push traffic with scripts or manipulate rankings at all, it has served in my better interest too, i haven't had a domain sandboxed or banned in at least a year

I start from scratch and build from organic linkbacks and listings
