rssHugger is a new social site for bloggers. Their point, they say, is to bring bloggers and readers closer together.

The look of the homepage is profesional, clean, and nicely colored. It is brand new, so jump in while you can. One of my philosophies is to jump into a site as soon as you can, and gain all the authority you can while the site is in it’s first stages of growth. Then, when the site becomes popular and much more powerful, you have a lot of weight to throw around. It’s run by human administrators, and your blog will only be accepted if it’s good quality.

 They’ve got a very interesting strategy going here to get publicity. They require a post about their site on your blog in order to put submit a blog to their directory. You can also pay a 20$ dollar one time fee, but no one’s going to do that.

 It makes a great one-way link, and when rssHugger get’s bigger, it will be a great way to get direct traffic through the link as well. It’s exactly what they say on the homepage, "quality, spam free, and viral rss directory strictly for bloggers". 

Opt in while you can.

Squidoo is a small but powerful site that can be used in multiple ways. It allows users to create mini web portals with text modules, images, RSS feeds, and even affiliate modules with Amazon (Squidoo will pay you a percentage of the comission it recieves from Amazon).

(1) First things first. Siging up for Squidoo is as easy as cake. Or pie. Or like… walking a really old faithful dog on a perfectly warm yet cool summer evening… well… you get the idea. Maybe I’m exaggerating, but it is pretty simple. Just look in the top right hand corner of the homepage, and you should see a ‘Sign-up’ link.

(2) Once you’e signed up, you should make a starter portal. I like to write a short introduction first off. Then I move to a text module. As always, it’s best if you have unique content. But if you’re lazy, you can do with an article from an article directory. Or you could rewrite an article from an article directory using Google Translator. I would highly recommend writing your own content, especially if you want your lens to rank in the search engines. And believe me, they can rank in the search engines, in quite surprising places too.

If I’m doing a lens for a blog, I’ll usually put the RSS feed in the blog as well. It’s simple enough; just enter an RSS feed URL into the RSS module, and it’s all set. You can write a short description of the blog, or you can leave it blank. I prefer to leave it blank, but I have not tested which one is better, so I couldn’t say for sure.

You can see an example lens I did for this article here (it’s also the graphic below).

(3) And finally, some quick notes.

-Make sure you link back to your main page in the text module. This will give you a one-way link at the least, and if the lens gets any traffic, it can also generate some direct traffic.

-Make a second link back to an article on your blog. This isn’t necessary, but I usually grab any extra links I can get.

-For most it might be easy, but I’ll tell you, it must have taken me ten minutes to figure out how to move the modules around when I was editing my first Squidoo lens. To save you some pain, sweat, and frustration (or maybe not), there are two arrows, one pointing up, and one down, at the top of each module in a little orange bar. Click the arrows to move the modules up and down (the page will refresh before the module moves).

I think that about does it for squidoo. Feel free to comment if you have any questions, and I’ll see if I can answer them.

I have found this site called easy hits 4 u. That gives free 1:1 ratio in giving you traffic. All you have to do is register on the site, and you can just leave it up in the background, every 30 seconds you will click next and then you will get a credit. You can then upload your ad and have the credits transferred to credits for you. I don’t even actually look at the page, just put it in the background while you work on something else and then click it every now and then. It’s a great free way to earn traffic. Here’s the link to the site.

We pay you CASH for surfing (1:1 ratio) and for referring new members

One of the best ways to earn credits without even looking at the sites is through referrals. If I were you, I’d just register on the site, then copy the link which you can find on there so that you get the referrals credited to you here’s the link for that. Then copy this short article or write one of your own leave the flashing banner to gain you traffic. If people make an account from your site then you get credits every time they load a page, and you get paid for up to five generations of referrals. It’s free, easy and gains traffic, give it a shot.

Today I would like to talk about free link giving. Now everybody loves free links. If you are a new or old blogger this will be profitable for you. All you have to do is write a post saying, i’m offering free links to whoever subscribes to my RSS feed and leaves  a comment with their url. It’s as simple as that. And I promise you, that one sentance article will be the most popular article on your site. I did one a couple days ago and it has generated 53 comments. My site isn’t even that popular yet, but everyone jumps at free links.

My advice to you is to create thisi post. The comments will come flying in, then just post that person’s url in that post. It’s easy, and you get lost of RSS subscribers. And people really like you for it. And most of them keep coming back. I’m going to list two other wise people’s links who have done this, so that you can get a free link from them as well as mine.

and then here’s mine if you haven’t left your url yet.
