Free Traffic For Your Blog

You just started a new blog for promoting some kind of online money making opportunity. You want readers, and your budget is $0. You already added it to Technorati, exchanged links with other bloggers, but it doesn't seem to be enough. What now?

An easy way to get free traffic to your blog is BlogExplosion (www.blogexplosion.com). It is a traffic exchange for bloggers (you view blogs of other people and they in turn view yours). You can get 1 visitor a minute by surfing (you get 1 visitor back for viewing 2 sites), or you can earn more by voting in Battle of the Blogs. There's also a blog directory and a ping service.

As in other traffic exchanges, the surfers usually don't want to see your blog - they just want to earn that traffic credit :) However, some of them (be it one out of 10, 50, or 100) will find your blog interesting and might become a faithful reader. I found that BlogExplosion works better in this aspect than other traffic exchanges I've tried. People will actually comment, discuss and bookmark your blog. Of course, you must have interesting content to attract their attention first.

In short: it's free, it works, and it's a good way to 'start-up' your blog. However, the traffic you get from search engines, Technorati, etc. will generally be more valuable because those will be visitors who want to read your blog. Also, if you have Google AdSense code on your blog - do not use any kind of traffic exchanges. Google hates them.
