Thats been my experience. Print media doesn't really do a whole hell of a lot for traffic, and what it does bring doesn't last long. It does bring other benefits though.
I had one minor bit of experience with mainstream radio, and television both brought small spikes in traffic. I was interviewed for local television last week, this will be a longer form interview (for local news-thats 3 minutes). Which is due to be broadcast next week. It'll be interesting to see what kind of traffic that generates. I would expect that this kind of press would be better for Blip than the individual vlogger, since Blip is a business and a service that people who read the WSJ might be more interested in.
