I just found this new way to increase traffic blogs and the best part is its free! It’s called Blog Rush. And its a bit like a banner exchange program where you collect “credits” for showing the Blog Rush code as well as for clicks/visitors you send. The banner for Blog Rush contains links to blogs with topics similiar to yours. You can see an example down and to the right. I think this is a fantastic idea to be able to reach readers of other blogs like yours! They are saying that they are having a good amount of growth already & I just signed up so lets see how it goes.
