Hello. My name is Chad Gramling. I am a lover of life. My passions include God, my family, writing and baseball – pretty much in that order. I have always enjoyed pro wrestling too. My blogs allow me to have an outlet for it all.

I am a marketing professional at a financial institution, but I hope to one day earn enough money through writing that I can leave the 9-5 for a career as a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. My first book is schedule for release in February 2007. For details, please visit www.baseballinfortwayne.com.

My personal blog is called simply, WordUp. This is a personal blog that started as a chronicle of my pursuit of becoming a professional writer, but has spawned into much more. The title, though overdone and a bit cliche’ is symbolic of my goal in keeping the content continually upbeat and optimistic in nature. However, I do stray into the dark side from time to time (check out the “Ted Sucks” series as an example).

A blog that evolved out of WordUp is my blog dedicated to baseball; Chad Gramling’s Baseball Blog (CGBB). This blog is billed as “A Fan’s Blog for Baseball” and seeks to offer an alternative to mainstream media coverage of a sport I love while focusing again on the positive aspects versus the filth that our lazy media counterparts often salivate over.

Finally, I mentioned pro wrestling. As “The Masked Blogger” I write every now and then about pro wrestling – mostly as it relates to current trends while considering the historical perspectives. I grew up in the 80’s and watch Hulk Hogan tell me to train, say my prayers and take my vitamins – so I blog a lot from that era. It is NOT a fansite, news/rumors site or spoilers site. Pro Wrestling Pages is a simple blog that presents a unique, fresh take on the world of pro wrestling.

Have you heard about traffic exchanges? The idea is simple. Basically you visit sites and earn “credits” or “points” which in turn can be exchanged for different things. You can use them to get other people to visit your site, or maybe display a banner or text link on the traffic exchange site. Whatever you chose to do it will drive traffic to your site. It is especially useful for newer sites/blogs because you then get exposed. Other people are clicking through site by site, but if your site appeals to the person viewing you may have gained a reader or someone to exchange links with.

With traffic exchanges I’ve gotten a lot of viewers to my blogs, as well as gained relationships and partnerships with certain bloggers.

Is this idea appealing to you?

It should be. Here is a list of some of the traffic exchanges I am on and would recommend.

First being BlogMad. You could be on this site alone and drive tons of traffic to your site. This has to be one of the top blog traffic exchanges. They offer 1:1 surfing ratio. Every site you visit you get yours visited.

Next has to be Blog Explosion. I like that you not only can “surf” but theres other competitions you can do. A nice feature I like is battle of the blogs. 15 people decide which blog is the best between yours and another blog, and the winner gets credits.

Blog Soldiers is slow but steady. It doesn’t seem to use up your credits like the previous two but can get you daily traffic if you have some credits saved up.

Last of the blog traffic exchanges ranks Blog Advance. It seems to drive the least traffic, but still worth it. I’ve used my credits more towards advertising on this site. Seems to pay off better, and you get ‘quality’ viewers as well

There are other traffic exchanges that aren’t just blog related

GoldenWheelSurf is for all sites and you are guaranteed 50,000 views, since they start you with 50,000 credits!

Link Referral is a bit different and is one of my favorites. You get to visit which sites you want and can even write reviews about them. You are limited 30 sites a day and 5 reviews. If you do that daily you will get a top spot on the rankings and will generate 25-30 quality viewers.

Most importantly you need quality content and site appeal, but to start getting viewers its a nice start.

Now I wouldn’t give you this information without a bit of a warning. If you are an adsense user DO NOT use traffic exchanges. It is violating their terms of service and you will get your account deleted.

With that said, happy surfing!

Hi, I’m Rhys, Poet asked me to join so I’m getting the ball rolling!

I have a number of different websites, which I’d like to promote. The first one is I Want A Free XBox – which you can see on the sidebar. It is probably the most interest to bloggers as it contains articles about moneymaking schemes, Search Engine Optimization Tips, and advice on blogging. As well as the odd xbox fanboy post.

Second website is my forum at rhyswynne.co.uk. It has games, competitons and all sorts of posts. We’re a friendly, active bunch, so sign up, post a few messages, and introduce yourself!

Thirdly is my other blog The Gospel According To Rhys, this blog I’ve ran for about 5 years now, and it is really becoming popular. It’s a personal blog, mixed in with some thoughts on what I’m up to at any one time. So if you’re interested in what a 22 year old Welshman is doing with his life, check it out!

Finally, it is my hugely popular toplist of sites, which has grown into almost it’s own little community. By registering and linking to your site, you can see who really is the most popular blogger out there, so sign up today.

That’s me done, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I hope to be here again soon!

Do you have something to advertise? Is there a website you are really into and you want referrals? Is there a piece of information you want to share with everyone?

This blog is an easy way of getting a little extra traffic. The more people join and post, the more this site will grow and potentially increase traffic to your postings. Ideally the traffic will build itself. To become a contributor to this blog, just send an email to ff_n_stuff@yahoo.com. The email should contain your name, and a link to one of your blogs.

After you’ve been approved and invited to post on our blog, all I ask for is a link on your site and no explicit material be posted. Feel free to post links to get referrals, sites you like or own, anything within means. We’d love to have you in our little community that keeps on growing.
