Internet Marketing Tips - BlogRush Users And The Traffic Neglected - Here's TrafficJam!

I got an email from BlogRush founder John Reese, and thought I'd pass along some information on a new website, www.TrafficJam.com, as a possible source for helping you to generate more traffic to your website.

Traffic generation is one of the most frustrating issues for new and not-so-new webmasters and online entrepreneurs. And there is so much misinformation about increasing traffic to your website, that its hard to know what really works.

Blogrush, which was launched by John Reease last year, seeks to help blog owners to generate traffic to their blogs basically by “cross-promoting” each other. I have used Blogrush with admittedly minimal results, but to be honest, it isn't something I spend a lot of time with.

TrafficJam.com has been released to the public in beta. It is using LIVE DATA from the BlogRush Network. It is designed to “drive traffic to members' blogs along with the (Blogrush) widget itself”.

According to John, you can link to a specific topic category. As an example, “... if you write a blog about "Parenting" just post a link that goes directly to the latest post rankings for the Parenting category.”

Initially, TrafficJam will update every day, but it will be moved to hourly updates for posts. This is designed to keep visitors returning for the updates and driving more traffic to your blog.

These are the reasons John suggests that TrafficJam.com is beneficial for you:

• For marketers, this is the ultimate research tool. You can monitor blogs by niche and keep up with what type of posts are getting the most interest across the Web. This will make it incredibly easy for you to know what type of blog posts you should be making to get more traffic, interest, and popularity for your own blog.

• Now you'll never run out of ideas for new blog posts!

• This research data can help you identify untapped keywords and other opportunities.

• This site is essentially a LIVE HEADLINE TESTING MACHINE!!! (by topic).

• You can use ideas from the data to increase click-rates on AdWords ads and more.

• You can use TrafficJam.com to find great blog posts for your niche. You can share links to these posts with your readers and they'll appreciate it. (The nature of the blogosphere.)

• You can also discover some new blogs in your niche that you never knew existed. These can turn into potential joint venture partners, or simply just another site to occasionally share some traffic and links. You'll want to consider participating (properly, of course) on their blog comments to drive traffic to your blog.

I am not the only one who has had dismal traffic results with Blogrush, however TrafficJam.com is considered a continuation of the work to improve BlogRush's performance and benefits to users.

I do believe that it's worth your time to check out. See if it may be a good fit for your marketing and promotional plans.

Toodles.
