www.trafficjam.com has just been launched and it is pouring in visitors to the most popular blog posts across the blogrush network.

What is trafficjam? It’s a content rating site much like Digg and Stumbleupon. However, the rankings are figured out by a combination of the click-through rate of posts in the BlogRush widget and the amount of time they spend on that page. Apparently it’s a big complicated algorithm that figures out just how popular an article is. What is means is that these little blogs can pull in traffic like the big guys.

Trafficjam has just launched and it’s getting MASSIVE amounts of traffic already. This traffic is then being funneled to the most popular blog entries from BlogRush users all over the planet.

Alright, I’ve already laid out how traffic exchanges can help produce traffic in this article. The main problem with most traffic exchanges is that the traffic is not targeted… or it’s fake. In other words, people click on the links to see your site simply to earn credits. When their time limit is up, they’ll move on and repeat the process so that they can get more traffic. This isn’t really a problem though. You can use banner exchanges and, if you’re blogging, BlogRush to reclaim those untargeted hits and turn them into targeted hits. Now, I get a fair amount of traffic from TrafficSwarm. This traffic is somewhat targeted. If I can manage to grab their attention long enough to keep them looking around then that’s awesome. However, even if they don’t stick around I’ve got both a banner exchange through BannersGoMLM and I’ve got the BlogRush widget. This way, even the untargeted traffic has the potential to earn me some targeted traffic. I call this “reclaiming hits.” It’s a way to transform even the bad traffic into good traffic. Even then, you don’t have to be getting “bad” traffic if you follow the suggestions in this article.

The fun part is, if You’re also advertising your BannersGoMLM and BlogRush affiliate links then you can get people to sign up under you and build up your downline that can bring you even more traffic. In fact, even TrafficSwarm is set up so that you can earn credits from your downline. I know that MLM is considered shady in the eyes of most. It mostly just gets really bad PR. But that’s beside the point. All the free traffic programs I’ve chosen have MLM aspects, but they can all work fairly well without any recruiting. In other words, you can just do what you do and earn some traffic, or you can recruit some more people and earn a bit more.

Essentially what this article is about, is overcoming the shortcomings of traffic exchanges. Using this method in combination with traffic exchanges is very powerful. It’s at least worth a shot. The cool thing about banner exchanges and BlogRush is that they’re essentially “set and forget” traffic builders. You don’t really have to do anything after you’ve installed their scripts.

Hope this helps anyone interested in free traffic,
