As far as Blaugust goes for my blog. Last year was my first year and it blew up traffic in August. Not as much of an uptick this year but comments were way up. Almost every comment was from a blog I visited because of Blaugust and left a comment on their site.

Personally I find it neat that Blaugust has most of us looking at stats and things; even if just for the curiosity.
