I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Rob at The Million Dollar Experiment Down Under to give five reasons why I blog. I don't know who started the game, but it's a fun and creative way to get links back to your blog. If you get tagged, expect to write a post giving your reasons for blogging, include a link back to the person who tagged you, then tag 5 other bloggers.

So why do I blog?

1) I can gain traffic and visibility to my website Guide to Internet Income.com
2) I can earn a bit of money through doing sponsored reviews, ad placements, affiliate marketing, etc.
3) I can make friends with people in another country - like Rob, for instance, who is from New Zealand, Mike who I believe is from Great Britain, and Maki who hails from Canada.
4) I can prevent cobwebs from occupying my brain by engaging in deep and meaningful discussions with other bloggers.
5) I can learn something new.

So let's see, I think I'll tag Pieter . . . Deborah . . . Shirlene . . .Roseate . . . Beth

You know, I think I'll tag Lance as well. Rob said we could change the rules a little bit :-)


Thanks for the tag Rob!

Thanks for taking up the challenge Maria and its great to hear why you blog!

Rob

By the way you mentioned Konterra in a previous post and I am sure I saw a post on johnchow.com where you could use his name as a coupon or something and then a lower traffic blog would be accepted, might be worth searching his site if you are keen to sign up with them

Traffic, Traffic, I need Traffic

In an effort to get more eyeballs to my site, I joined a few traffic exchanges. Over time, some proved to be worth the effort and others were not so effective. One of the best ones so far has been ClickPirate . I've gotten a steady stream from them. I also like Traffic Swarm , the traffic is more targeted since users get to pick which site they want to view. I dropped Traffic Soldiers and Top Surfer because neither one of them sent many hits my way. And Top Surfer bombards your inbox with emails from its members. Any recommendations for good traffic exchanges?

Building traffic and getting paid - Sweet!

One of the free ways to build traffic for your website is to post to forums and place a link in your signature file. I've been testing this out in a forum I recently joined and I can tell you that it works. Hits to my site have increased steadily and about 50% have come from this forum. The added bonus is, I get paid to post! It's not much, I've made about a buck over there but considering I'm promoting my website and getting paid to do so, it's all good, lol. If you want to check it out, follow this link . BTW, if your blog is about making money, get it listed on my site Guide to Internet Income .
