conclusion?
it took some days to kick in but shows up now.
These satellite blogs are now getting the same type of traffic as the sattelite sites established already 2 years ago.
The difference between these satellite blogs and the satellite sites which have their own domain name?
Well, satellite blogs take 1 minute to set up
satellite sites take 24 hours but take content, lots of preparation, maintainance, etc!
If traffic to these satellite blogs stays steady, they are definitely a more interesting option than the satellite sites which have been getting only limited amount of traffic since they were set up.
Check and track how traffic on these satellite blogs evolves
