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. BlogRush not only gives you the ability to increase your exposure by putting links to your content all over the web, If you’re content is popular, it could potentially expose it to thousands every day! BlogRush has never looked better. If you’re a blog owner, there is NO REASON not to join.

Join BlogRush today, and start driving targeted traffic to your blog TODAY!

Also, bookmark trafficjam.com and view it often. Why? Because you can see very quickly what headlines are generating clickthroughs and what topics are hot. Write an article about a similar topic, link to hot posts, use similar headline strategies and you could drastically increase your clickthrough rates and your subscribers. TrafficJam is a priceless headline, content, and keyword research tool.

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,

• You show the widget on your site (you can see mine on the right sidebar).
• Each time this widget loads, it finds related articles from other BlogRush user’s blogs and displays ads for them.
• Each time this widget loads you earn credit so that your ads are shown on other member’s BlogRush widgets.
• People can sign up for BlogRush under you and you’ll earn a percentage of their credits.

Now, with all of that it seems fairly simple and straight forward. You just put up the widget and forget it, right? Nope, the widget itself will not be enough to bring you traffic. Personally, I use the following strategies to help increase my traffic through BlogRush:

• I advertise my BlogRush referral link. I do this through TrafficSwarm as well as here on my site (this post might actually be one of those advertisements… disguised as helpful information).
• I also visit my website on a regular basis to make sure everything is running smothly, I re-read articles every-so-often and check for spelling errors and what not. During these times I will actually click through to interesting links on the BlogRush widget. If the article is particularly interesting, I’ll comment on it. Guess what? That comment has a link back to my blog! Because I know they are somewhat related through content, it increases the chances that people will be interested in what I have to say, and thusly follow that link back to my site. It also increases the number of links back to my site, which increases search engine ranking.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to get out there and really comment on some other people’s blogs. If they comment on yours, be polite and return the favor. Just think, the more links you build that come back to you, the more traffic you’ll get. It’s worth it. BlogRush just makes it easy. I mean, it just shows you the links to related sites right there on your own site. You just can’t beat that.

If you’re a blogger and you haven’t yet added the BlogRush widget to your site, I would STRONGLY suggest that you do so as soon as possible. It has great potential for increasing your traffic. In any case, it can’t hurt. Check it out, I think You’ll like what you see.
