Lets talk traffic...

[Hedy]

I've used Blogexplosion, Digg, clickthru and Easyhits4u to get traffic.
I'd rank them:
1. BLogexplsion-a lot of good traffic
2. Digg-low numbers, but good traffic
3. Clickthru-decent, easy traffic
4. Easy hits for you. A lot of junky traffiic, but it's easy to get credits

I've gotten no traffic through Blogsvine, so I gave up. I also submitted my blog to a Personal finance blog agregator-you might look into to see if there's such a site on your topic.

So whatcha wanna talk about? Different sites people use? Methods? Personally I find it is all about persistence. Sorta like the daily surveys. Just gotta keep trying and people will find you. I have found finding blogs with comment luv installed on there helps because it links back to your latest post and people who are reading their blog are more inclined to come read yours. Also building a relationship with people who have a blog you like to read helps. I have a few people that I leave comments on their blog and they will come back and leave them on mine as well.

With the submit sites I just submit everything because you never know what is going to catch people's eyes. Some of the dumbest posts IMO are the most popular ones.

When you stumble make sure you stumble each post not just your blog in general. It gets more links in the system and more topics/categories as you can assign topics/categories to each post similar to digg or blogsvine.

I haven't had time to figure out some of the other sites like de.licious and mixx and such so I have no idea what they are like and what you have to do with them but I will add them to my list and report back if they are of any help.
