Hi Lyceum: I don't read any publications specifically about blog traffic. I read mostly about entrepreneurship, startups, and small business and there are often articles about increasing traffic there. A quick list of some of my daily reads (the ones I subscribe to via email):

peHub

Dealbook

Smartbrief

The Business Journals (there are local ones for most cities)

StartupSmart Daily

Smartbrief

Upstart

VC Experts

Under30CEO

Entrepreneur

Tech Flash

I hope that helps!
