BE would not be first, they have gone to comercial and its not about getting readers to your blog anymore, its about what clique you can join and what game, who can win on their BOTB etc. Not my style for getting traffic. Blogclicker is good, but I have been having probs with blank screens showing as of late. Blogazoo, since its 'refurbishment' it looks promising. BlogAdvance, its new and the potential is good. Great community forum and spirit over there and it seems if it wasnt for BA, some of the options BE have brought out wouldn't have existed. Forum, Image hosting etc.. Some of the others mentioned aren't even Blog only exchanges so i won't even bother with them. If I was to sum up the list….

Some of the others mentioned aren’t even Blog only exchanges so i won’t even bother with them.

You're right... it's something you really have to do just for yourself. Not because you think someone will read it. ~Deb: Thanks! You’re right… it’s something you really have to do just for yourself.

Why is that? <BR/><BR/>I also found that commenting on other blog gets traffic, but the main thing is, having good content in your blog to make them come back. (which you do Mojo!) <BR/><BR/>It's important that you want to blog, because you have a love for writing- or just posting wacky things- political/religious views, anything really. Just do it for "you"...<BR/><BR/>Catching up on your blog here Mojo! I always love your rants. :) BE is okay—I just like their pinging options, so that your site will go on all the search engines, however, there are only 35 people on there or something…not many people.

I think I've actually found a lot of readers because I stop and comment on their own blogs using BE, Blogazoo, or BlogClicker.<BR/><BR/>Laurie: Yes, definitely... making relevant or funny comments on other blogs seems WAY more effective for getting people to read your own.<BR/><BR/>RockyJay: I wish I got a lot from search engines... I think I've screwed the pooch on keywords for my blog, because I get a lot of "thug/rap" search results. Oh well, at least the people that stop by regularly are cool. eric: yeah, me too… I think I’ve actually found a lot of readers because I stop and comment on their own blogs using BE, Blogazoo, or BlogClicker.

I wasn't totally convinced... Hopefully, you get referral credit though.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm doing something worng, but I hardly get any traffic thru exchange programs - except BE. Mostly from google. But what the heck I know anyway. Just signed up with Blogazoo. I wasn’t totally convinced… Hopefully, you get referral credit though.

I'd have to say the best way to create a reader base is to post comments to others blogs as well as to message forums. People that actually stop by then tend to come back now and then.

As far as generating traffic, I'm not convinced people actually stop to read at all.<BR/>Blog Explosion and Blog Clicker are pretty good. Blog Azoo seems to take forever to use up any credits I accumulate. Yeah, I use these exchanged to get the opportunity to see cool blogs I might otherwise get the chance to see.

People just jump from blog to blog to earn the service credits. When these sites can group blogs into families based on topic & make sure that as a user you see sites that are of interest to you, they'll be useful... I stopped surfing blogexplosion long ago, because I never saw anything that interested me & I'm sure that the people who were presented with my site at random didn't like it either.
