Syndication Tools (aka Traffic Building Tools)
Traffic exchanges and traffic building tools have been around since the start of the Internet and are now popping back up in the form of nice looking “Web 2.0″ “Widgets.” If you understand how to navigate, these traffic exchange tools can help to bring users to your site. Today we will discuss two services that we are going to try on this blog and will update you as we gain more experience with them. As always your comments are appreciated either below, or contact us.
Both services publish your RSS feeds; one handles the syndication by mixing your feeds with other members feeds (and distributing via third party blogs) and the other is strictly your feed, but you are responsible for syndication. Both services are also trying to create a destination for Publishers on their own websites as a place to come to pick up free content.
The first service is called Blog Rush, which can be seen on the right hand side of Cwire.org. Blog Rush aggregates several participating publishers RSS feeds and displays them on publishers websites who have embedded the Blog Rush widget. Blog Rush’s easy to use back-end tracks how many times their widget is shown on a publishers site and gives publishers a credit in that amount of usage. Those credits are automatically applied towards the publishers own content appearing on other web pages. If a user clicks on a link on the widget, the user is brought to the publishers web page. Here is a link to a page that has a video on it that better explains it.
The Blog Rush service allows you to earn credits for both displaying the widget and getting other blog users to sign up. Some bloggers so far have only received a few clicks for every thousand displays of their widget. However, it is possible that these users are more valuable since they will be coming from targeted links on blogs similar to your own. We will provide an analysis of our results with Blog Rush in a later post.
The second service is called Spring Widgets, which allows you to syndicate your RSS feed (without having to share the space), but you are responsible for your own distribution. This service is great if you have a feed that you feel your users would want to display. Unlike Blog Rush, there is no aggregation model and no built in distribution.

Interesting post - I have tried blog rush, good service, especially to get your blog’s name out there. i will sign up now for spring.
i heard google will give you a big boot for using TE’s
Have you heard of Entrecard? It’s from the same creator as the Million Dollar Wiki project. Its more interactive than Blogrush and you control exactly who can advertise on your blog and who cannot. It’s a simple system but it gives the little guy a better chance at advertising on the bigger, more popular blogs.
Sounds interesting. I will check this out.
this website rocks- www.getrichoffthis.com

Beyond the widgets have you found any other good resources? We have found some odd but interesting traffic programs and would love your in-sites.
A lot of traffic exchanges just plain don’t work, this one is worth a look at though.
Sorry, I should have read this page before I left me last post. This is just the traffic building info I need. Thanks!
We have a new option you missed. Instant paid to click ads. Get instant payouts or instantly buy ads, links or banners. A bit better than traffic exchange traffic and unique ips for each visit. Great cost effective traffic booster.
