We all have heard of it, as a way to help boost your blog and all. But is it really worth it? Does it work? Do you really gain traffic by connecting with people? Here is my review.

I have been giving it a whirl if you have been wondering, and thus far into my research it hasn’t helped me at all. My bloglog widget on one of my other blogs hasn’t moved in a long time. It appears to me “good” for some people, but I haven’t been impressed with it at all. I don’t believe I have gained any traffic with its help and I don’t think it has helped me any.

Sure, maybe if your Obama it might help, but if you are a normal blogger, don’t expect much out of it.

Now I’ve had more sites than I can count, and I have tried more ways to get free traffic than I’d like. And today, I will review one type.

Traffic swapping.

I’m sure we all have seen these types of sites. They say, you view 50 sites to get 3 credits, and in turn of those credits you can get 3 views for your site. It may sound tempting, but thats a lot of work for such little in return.

I have fallen victim to those types of sites more than once, and I can assure you that they DON’T work.

Sure you may get a few visits, but they won’t read your site or comment or click on your links. They just keep the window open and wait till the 30 second pass and go onto the next site and repeat what they just did to your site.

So thats why I say, avoid them.

We all have heard of craigslist.org, one way or another. It’s great that they have classifieds for cities and towns, that can be posted for FREE.

But their can be scams hidden in there, but then again, on the other hand, they can have hidden gems.

You can buy stuff for cheap off the site, get a new home, get a job, meet new people. And maybe just maybe, get band members(though I have had no luck on that part yet). It has enough power to get your site out there, and sell your products, all for free.

Though being free can also have its down falls, like everything else.

So all I ask my readers to remember is this, if they don’t tell you what the job is, or how much they pay you, then forget it. Also keep in mind this, if it sounds too good to be true, then it is!

We all need more promotion for our blogs or sites, right? And even though the internet may help you promote, it still isn’t easy. In fact, it may be even harder now than it was before the advent of the internet.

 Just because we have a larger highway of infomation in a sense, it still is harder to reach out to people. Let’s be honest, do you ever pay attention to the ads on the internet? I’m pretty sure you hardly do, and I bet you even have more than one pop-up blocker. 

So that left spamming, but who wants to spam? So it really is hard to reach tons of people and tell them about your services or offers. Well today, I will give you some links that will help you get out your blog.

 freewebsitesubmission.com- allows you to submit it for free to some search engines, but not the big leads. I still say you should use it though.

Sumbitexpress.com-like the above, but they can sumbit it go the big wigs

For something more or less SEO, this site webuildpages.com seems good. I’ll check it out today and write a report on it tomorrow.

Slowly we can do this together!

Google, is always finding way to expand and to compete with the big leads(ie:Microsoft and Yahoo). But is trying to compete with wikipedia.org crossing over the edge?

Wikipedia is a hug sucess within itself, with just over 2,539,902 articles in english alone, should speak for it self. But what I also like about Wikipedia is the fact that its runs on donations alone! Googles Knol(which is in beta stage now) is just in  baby stage right now and it could grow into something more, but I doubt that it can beat Wikipedia.

What do you think about Knol? Will you still use Wikipedia?
