Need Some Nice Traffic?

Maybe you like Joe Tech's Ad-Slot Widget:

...but it has you wondering why you spend all day refreshing his page to try and win a text link that will be replaced within a day (for small ads) or a week (for extra large ads).

Plus, you know sites like Blogrush absolutely SUCK for any real traffic needs, and Entrecard is ok, but doesn't give you many options for bumping your traffic up quickly without a lot of investment (you have to build up credits or buy them, and the new limits really put a damper on any plans to advertise for free on a popular blog more than once a week!)

Introducing a few fantastic solutions:

1)

2)

There's a lot to be said about these sites, but I'll try to keep it simple for now. If you need traffic, you need to utilize these resources; they allow for site, banner, and text link promotion, and FreeTrafficLotto gives you the chance to win cash as well!

You can use the sites totally free and get great results, and "playing" for the credits is kinda fun and definitely addictive! However, if you're looking for a boosted solution, or don't have as much time to invest, you can purchase a "pro" account on either site, ridiculously cheap! With FreeTrafficLotto, you can get the benefits of pro for only $5 (the price of approximately 2000 entrecard credits - which would buy you only one day of advertising a single 125x125 on a popular site there!), and for $6.97 (introductory price only) you can get a "pro" membership on Traffic Bunnies. Something to keep in mind for those larger traffic flow needs!

Enjoy your new flood of traffic!

Weight Lost = Money Gained?

Can losing weight make you money? If you live in America and have access to the internet, I say it most definitely should! Take for example Saphrym (the father,husband, teacher, thinker, reader, writer, dieter) and his daily logs of exercise and nutrition on his quest for a leaner physique. Are they superficially interesting to the average reader? Probably not, but if one were so inclined, a lot could be learned by perusing the comments left for him - usually (somewhat sound) advice about his blog-posting ability or weight loss journey. On top of that, Saphrym and others like him, offer contests like this $250 beauty where you can take home a mint, just for posting like me!

There are some very intelligent people out there blogging and sharing their information for free, solely because they care. Sure you could pay some meat-head a couple grand to show you how to do squats correctly...OR, you could perchance come across a helpful comment left for a dieting blogger, which included a video of the proper technique, FOR FREE (what a deal!), all the while gaining valuable information about nutrition too! Ok, Ok, so he's not the most graceful swan on the lake, but he gets the job done!

So what are you waiting for? Hop on over to visit Saphrym and get your fill of blog-trolling for free information and contests today - you might not lose any weight but you could definitely make some money!

Viral Link - 120/1

Just like a virus, this concept is all about tiny beings all bunched into a little body. Maybe it's more like a zip file? Ya, I'll go with that one - a zip file-ish style of linking to 120 blogs in one fell swoop! Got a blog? JOIN IN!

Originally posted here (the mothership of the virus as it were) and I had to TOTALLY revamp it. There were so many redundant links and bad tags, it took me hours to go through and just make it useable! I spruced up the overall appeal too, to make it look like a human infected with a virus! What do you think?

Below is a matrix of 120 stars, I have already added a link to my blog onto one of the stars, all you need to do is copy and paste the grid into your blog and add your own link to one of the other spare stars, and tell others to do the same!

Linking For Money

Although linking can be good for you, you have to be careful about randomly linking to a bunch of sites where you don't control the content. I read about this one blogger who (forgive me if I get any of this information skewed, I'm skipping my fact-checking on this one) had issues before, with a certain service which automatically created links to "relevant" content, and then his blog was Google-blacklisted because they caught his site with some unhealthy links on it. That would have been the death of many blogs, but the one I'm referring to was actually able to remove the service and salvage his reputation, eventually re-establishing his once-former glory. (Lots of hyphens in this one!)

WHEW, that was a long winded lead-in to a contest being run on www.bloggernoob.com where you can win money by simply adding a MAKE MONEY BLOG link to your blog. Any blogger who wants to earn money with their blog, needs guidance, and that is a great place to find some! Check it out, and even participate in the contest if you catch it in time because, with this one, the prize money is directly related to the number of entrants!
