It helps you get at least 1 more post done great if you happen to have writers bloc. Oh wait let me add to that the tour also allows you to bring up older posts that may not be getting read.

The article does have a link in it online - after I requested it of the journalist after it went up (and I'm not sure it actually made the hard copy of the paper today). The benefits of it though are not so much direct traffic but: 1. branding/profile/awareness - it all helps. I'm amazed how many people I meet say that they saw and article somewhere. 2. contacts - everytime I get some mainstream media attention I get calls, emails etc from people wanting to conntect 3. flow on media attention - there's something about being mentioned in a paper that tends to trigger other media outlets (or even the same one) to do similar or followup stories. I find that these things often come in spurts. Skellie – actually it doesn’t bring much traffic at all – not directly at least.

"Mmm... I know that guy." I think the journalist did a pretty good job explaining the whole PR thing in layman's terms. I'd be interested to know how much traffic a link from a newspaper generates. I wonder if it's comparable to that from an A-list blog? Congrats on being in the papers :).
