I am testing a potential web traffic generator, and so far I am seeing pretty good referral traffic.

What’s Link Referral?

Link Referral drives traffic from it’s members directory of over 150,000 members, and thousands of outside visitors on a daily basis. They also provide free ranking based on your category, you get valuable feedback from visitors of your website. You also can give your opinion on other websites in the directory.

The more you participate, the more potential traffic you get!

Referral based traffic:

Most of us should be familiar with the concept of network marketing, Link Referral offers this method absolutely free. By registering and promoting your linkreferral affiliate link, an exponential growth of 5 levels of referrals can be created (ex. you refer 10 people who refer 10 people each who refer 10 each), potentially 10,000s of visitors/day all viewing your link prominently in the top spot of their ‘Featured Sites’ section on our home page for your referral ID.

Registration is fast and easy, there’s no risk and of course it’s 100% free!

Of course you have! Entrecard is all about helping bloggers generate web traffic, but they could have planned on scalability much better. It has improved, but it still needs more work.

The bad side of Entrecard:

There are many things that I have noticed, and in no particular order they’re:

1. High bounce rates due to the “Drop and Run” concept
2. Poor click through rate from your advertised widget
3. Slow page loads
4. Time consuming to get credits
5. People not always reciprocating

Advertising your widget:

The facts are conclusive! No matter how many campaigns you have with Entrecard, you will not see an increase in web traffic. I average 400+ uniques per day. See the image below that proves my point.

The only good thing about Entrecard is their forums. You can request and post stumbles, announce contests, and sell credits, that’s it!

There are many good people leaving Entrecard. Check out the latest blog by Mike at bloggin-ads.

I will still stay in touch with all the great people I met at Entrecard, and participate in the forums.

This kid is only 10 years old. He could be the next Neil Peart. I couldn’t believe the drum solo from a kid so young. Kids are amazing!

I am not talking about the Seinfeld episode or your wife who wears the pants in the family. I am talking about ownership, branding and self hosted blogs. If you’re serious about blogging than you need to build your own identity and web space. What if your blog becomes part of an elite class of blogs in the blogsphere? It could happen, don’t under estimate your potential.

What you need to do:

Purchase a unique domain from godaddy. They offer great pricing for all your domain needs. Make sure your domain has your keyword in the name. If your niche is technology you should choose a name with the word tech in it. You will also need a host provider. There are many host providers that offer great host packages.

If cost is an issue, than stop worrying! How would you like to own a domain name and get free hosting? So would I and everyone else. If you’re dedicated and truly have a passion to blog, than I have a generous offer. I am offering a free domain name that I will transfer to your godaddy account.

Why would I do this?

To build a network with other bloggers that will share links, and so much more! Did I mention a free host account with APlus.net? Yes! A top notch hosting solution company ranked highly with cnet.com. You can check it out for yourself.

Domains you can choose:

blogtbt.net

blogtbt.info

Pick a new one and I will purchase it and transfer the domain to your godaddy account. You must have an account set up with godaddy.com.

In addition to joining this network, you will get all the benefits of social network submissions, profit sharing, ad campaigns and so much more.

I have been a publisher for Google Adsense for more than 6 Months and I have not received a check, nothing! My current account ($96.03) is close to the magic number $100. The thing that disturbs me is the same 6 or so ads keep displaying. I can’t figure that out and I am not about to try.

Adsense is well known and used by many web site owners that are trying to monetize their web site. I have heard of a few success stories about individuals who are making major bank with Google, but these are few and far between.

Is it worth the space of a 468×60 banner? I am thinking it’s not, and maybe that real estate can be used more sensible. I have searched and tested many advert programs and have not found one that hit a home run or even close. To see a list of advert web sites that I tested, click on the link below.

I am currently testing OpenX. This company provides adserver technology.

You have to keep trying to find that goose that laid the golden egg. I just wish it would call out to me to make things much easier.
