You’ve probably heard that blogs are a great way to get traffic fast, and in massive truckloads. But what you need to understand is there are two very different types of traffic when it comes to blogging:

When I started blogging on my freelance writing blog back in June 2007, I blogged often, between 20-30 entries per months. Over the course of the following months and as my freelance writing business grew, those posts got less and less. Partially due to time constraints and also due to testing whether the myth is [...]

I’ve noticed a certain behavior with me in the last 3 month or so. I hardly ever visit many blogs in person anymore. Why - it’s simple really. At least for me it is. I’m a busy freelance professional and I find it increasingly more challenging to keep up with my feed reader, let alone [...]

The first is to get our message out to others and thanks to blogs we can do [...]

Even the newest of bloggers hopefully realize that without traffic we are doomed to fail. After all we need readers to absorb our various blurbs unless of course we absolutely don’t care for this and choose to keep our blog private.

There’s no such thing as too much traffic, especially if you’re blogging for profit. John Reese, the creator of BlogRush, knows this all too well.
John launched BlogRush a few days back, a blog traffic exchange service based on a widget an points system. The reception has been mixed, with some people calling it nothing [...]
