Blog Trick : Blog Exchangers to Increase Traffic Instantly

If you had some site, or browsed the Web a lot, in the late 90s, you probably remember services called “link exchangers” (the best known of which was, indeed, called “LinkExchange”). Basically, you subscribed, then created a banner for your site, and they gave you some code to put in your front page so that it would show banners for other subscribers. Usually, for every 2 you showed, yours would be shown once on some other subscrieber’s site. It worked reasonably well, though for some reason you don’t see it any more these days.

But now, there’s a relatively new kind of service, similar to those, but more oriented for blogs; I’ll call it “blog exchangers”. The idea is that, instead of having banners in your site, you earn credits by browsing other subscribers’ sites - it usually opens a browser page or tab, with a navigation link at the top, and the real blog below. To make sure that you are, indeed, at least looking at the blogs, you have to stay at least 30 seconds in each blog, or it doesn’t earn you credits; also, to go to the next one, there’s a “captcha”, a varying place you have to click, to prevent people from using a “robot” program to do it automatically.


I’ve been trying out 5 of these services, and they have worked reasonably well, I have been getting dozens of accesses, daily, from each. They are:

• BlogExplosion
• BlogClicker
• BlogAdvance
• BlogSoldiers

I’ve been using them for less than a week, so it’s still too early to say if one is significantly better (or worse) than the others. I find that Firefox, with its tabs support, is perfect for using the five of them at the same time. :)

A great side effect is that, by browsing other blogs to earn credits, I’ve discovered some very interesting ones - not often, but once in a while. They’ve even given me ideas for articles of my own (mostly for my other blogs, not this one). :)

One drawback, though - from looking at my logs, a lot of people are, indeed, just browsing for credits - they just see the front page, but don’t read any of the full articles. Some are sure to do it because they like other kinds of blogs (for instance, I find that many people in BlogExplosion have religious or conservative blogs, so that’s probably what they’re interested in, and they won’t find that in any of mine), but a great many are probably merely collecting credits. I guess it’s inevitable that some people do that. Still, some real readers have arrived from these services, and that’s always a good thing.
