I was thinking about traffic, you know, of the cars vans and lorries variety. Real traffic. The really heavy traffic comes when everyone is heading the same way, usually around holiday time, and its usually because they are off to do something fun.

So to get traffic to our blogs, we need to make sure something fun is happening here at our blogs.

We we were kids we hated the teachers who would just stand and talk, lecturing us. We bloggers don’t want to have the same reputation as those teachers! Adults don’t like lectures either.

So from now on, I am going to tell you the things I have been doing to get traffic in a short snappy and (hopefully) sometimes humourous way.

If you look down the side bar of this blog you can see I have a new pic, about internet forums. Internet forums are great because you can go in there, help people, get a good reputation and have your url in the signature at the bottom of your comment. This forum goes one further, if you leave comments and refer people, they let you put up banners. So not only do you benefit yourself you benefit others, then benefit yourself again! Fantastic!

Second thing - you know when you see that item on QVC and you buy it, and then forget it in the kitchen cupboard? We have all done it - it seemed like a great idea at the time! Well, don’t do what I did and forget a traffic exchange I had signed up with for free, I went there today because someone had sent me a message - and realized I had credits that I could swap for traffic! So I quickly spent those to get some traffic here, of course.
