BlogRush - A New Approach to Website Traffic Enhancement
For our readers who have their own websites or blogs we thought we would share with you the scoop on this new web traffic service we are trying out here on ZZ N&S.
If you are interested in participating in a refreshing new approach to blog traffic exchange without having to surf yourself into oblivion to increase credits, you might seriously consider subscribing to this recent new traffic exchange service - BlogRush!
We have been trying it here and we are finding the underlying software very interesting and promising. The developers there have been busy creating a somewhat intelligent and interactive software network which adjusts to variations in the traffic within the network itself and targets like content sites.
There is no surfing necessary by the blog owner or anyone else. A small widget is placed on your site, like the one above similar to the one in our margin to the right, which publishes links from new blog posts via RSS from the member network. The widgets send targeted catagory posts to network members. That’s the key! The links are targeted similar to the targeting in Google’s Adsense for content similar to that on your site. They have wonderful graphical reporting.
You can subscribe here if you are interested and it’s free. You will not be disappointed, it costs nothing, and you get instant increased site visits. It uses a set it and forget it approach that beats the other timed surfing sites which will go nameless. We have also found that if you couple it with membership in a RingSurf webring, like ZZ OpenRing, you end up with an amplified reinforcing affect. Just keep BOTH the ZZ OpenRing ring code and BlogRush widget visible at the top margins of your blog like we do here and the combined effect is maximized.
We thought we would pass this find along to you, our readers. Right now we can say it is an excellent system with zero maintenance. We recommend you give it a try. — ZZ N&S Staff /Scotty

I used to use this on the Blogger blog, but now that I’ve moved to my own domain I want to keep the site’s front page cleaner.
It’s main use on the blogger blog for me was in helping me find like-minded blogs. I didn’t get much traffic at all from it.

What I really liked about this approach was that it was a set it up and forget it. One doens’t have to waste time surfing through sites to build up credits. A panacea it’s not and the jury is still out on it but it was a novel approach and low maintenance way for some folks to get traffic to a new site. Finding like minded blogs is a good thing as well just as you mention. The price is good. 0 $ . We’ll see. If you see it gone in a few months you will know it was not worth the space on our site.

Yeah, $0 is a good price, and I am glad you reviewed this.
Off-topic: I still have to figure out what to put on the front page of the new blog. I want to keep it clean, but I have to get people who land there to explore the archives, and find some way of getting my visitors talking to each other.

Sounds almost like you would like to create a forum environment. Blogs don’t lend themselves to that very well but I suppose it can be done if there is enough traffic and you have visitors that engage each other in the comment area. Community Management Software (CMS) like the following link might be a better fit : http://www.nuke-evolution.com/index.php It has a forum integrated into the blog as well as an eCommence engine. These are usually set up for a site that distributes something electronically, needs a community forum, and has a blog type front page. You can simulate this with using a blogging package like Wordpress, Blogger etc. then set up a separate forum and put links between the too applications on your site. For instance our DOWNLOADS link at the upper right margin does this but links to a full blown CMS…. it could just as easily have been only a forum.
I will caution you that it takes really specific content like a niche to generate enough interest. The users need a strong common bond like a hobby or something that they all relate to as a sub culture for it to really take off with alot of discussion. Good Luck ashok,
