Since this is a very new blog, I haven’t been getting much organic traffic. I’ve been looking for various ways to get visitors to the blog. Since I’m not really pushing Adsense or anything else, the traffic is mainly to make myself feel better about myself. It’s tough putting hours into a project if no one is going to see it!

A couple of days ago I came across Blogclicker. I left the site open in one of my Firefox tabs until earlier today. I took a look, and was pleasantly surprised. Basically, the concept of the site is as follows: You set up an account (free), and add your blog’s information. For signing up, you get 10 credits added to your account. Credits are used to get other people to visit your blog, but more on that in a minute.

Once you’re ready to go, you can click on the start link that they provided. You are automatically taken to the account of another fell Blogclicker subscriber. At the top of the scree is a small menu bar that provides other sites that you are to visit. As you visit these sites, sur, and look over your ellow bloggers’ work, you get additional credits, allowing for further traffic pointed towards your site.

Within the first five minutes of adding my site to my account, I was able to see that one of my credits had alrady been used. This meant that my blog had already been added to the list, and had already generated one visitor.

I am going to keep using this service for the next week or two, and will provide another update as we go along. If nothing else, it gives me a steady stream of new blogs to look over, and brings along a fun ‘gameplay’ oriented atmosphere.
