Today I want to talk about two ways of getting traffic. Both are great fun! This comes as a surprise because most of the traffic tips that I have shared lately have seemed to involve cash, and neither of these do, hurrah!

The first one is a traffic exchange, and this was recommended to me by Kotobot.com, Jim Gallagher. Truly a person who knows what he is talking about with over 5,000 visits to his blog! Marvellous.

Anyway, it’s called Blogclicker and its fun. Jim says he gets around 100 people a day for doing ten minutes looking at other peoples blogs. Well, I have had a go and I think it’s great fun looking at blogs, I was planning on just doing ten minutes or so when I glanced at the clock half an hour had gone by!  I thoroughly recommend this one, for the sheer fun factor. I am not so keen when I don’t understand the language of the blog - but nearly always they are in English, so that’s good.

The second one I want to tell you about is www.icerocket.com. It is a site that lists blogs, and it shows the latest blog posts. You put in the keywords that you want to highlight or read about, say affiliate marketing or list building, and it will show you all the latest blog posts that use those keywords. This is good fun also, and you can learn some interesting stuff. For instance I found a blog that has a list of all the traffic exchanges that the person recommended.

I plan on having a look at them and if I feel its a good deal or good idea I will let you know, of course.

I nearly forgot my lady of the day, here she is.

I hope you all had a wonderful first day of 2009, I certainly did.

Best wishes,

Ruth
