I use Alexa.com often, I will plug in some blogs. I have seen bravenet blogs in searches that I have done...just wasn't sure how hard it was to accomplish. The one thing I do not want to do is put alot of time into promoting something and have it be a waste because Bravenet, for whatever reason, will not climb in the rankings.
I have only begun working on the site, yes, alot of work. I built other sites and ranked after awhile but not with Bravenet.
I am afraid I will need to find a new host and I hate to have to transfer my site. YUK.
Oh well....
Thanks again!
Have a Good day!

Christine, hi. bravenet has about 1.7million uniques a month according
to some data providers. Try plugging various providers into alexa.com
and you can see rough estimates of traffic i.e. wordpress, blogspot,
typepad...
In terms of search traffic I have never seen a bravenet blog result in
the search engines. I wonder if they are on the "outs" like hubpages,
Squidoo, ning, and others?
Hope that helped. Good luck, you have a lot of work to do. (like tons
and tons)

Maybe one that is more search engine, traffic generating, friendly? Or
is Bravenet sufficient?
