Thought on BlogExplosion
Filed in: SEO Beginner, Weblog — January 22nd, 2005
I read few reviews on BlogExplosion and all of them highly recommend it to increase blog site traffic. So, I tried it, too.
The concept is simple, “You read other blog sites and they in return visit your blog.” After free registeration as member, you start to surf other members’ blog site to earn credits. The more credits the higher traffic you get.
It is good if you often spending time on reading strangers blog entries. For me, I would like to read a more specific topic sites, e.g. computer related. However, the blogs are randomly selected. You have no control at all.
Though there is a blog directory, but you do not earn credit by reading the blog of your choice.
I think, I will use BlogExplosion alot, if and only if it allows me to choose interested topics and then show me the related blogs.
Tips: To increase traffic, try to submit your blog site to web directories and search engines, pinging to blog farm, and update frequently.

yes i try blog explossion too after reading about it from shaolintiger. but after i signed up, i did not go back to it at all until i was sent a reminder that i had not log in! i too don’t like the concept they use, like you stated, not being able to choose which blogs to read. well, what i did is IF i do log in to blog explossion, click on the blogs all right but just open it and not really reading it (unless interesting one). click open, then close!

Yeah, that’s kind of time wasting. Plus, the traffic generated is not targeted traffic(the visitor came to your site not because they are interested on your blog).

Yup, i tried it too, and like you said, they came not because they are interested, they are merely earning points/credits. I earned some points but I didn’t see an increase in my traffic..

I think all comment before is right. They come to our blog not because they interested with our blog, but because they want get point. And i think they dont read our blog, they just countdown and its offer. I have used blogexplosion too before, but now no anymore. BTW thanks for your review.

I tried BlogExplosion, but I prefer BlogMad.net. I reviewed a handful of the various blog traffic exchanges sites here: http://www.andymerrill.com/rantreview/2007/02/top-traffic-exchange-site-for-blogs.html
