My thoughts after one week of traffic battling by WoodyRoundUp

For the past week, I have been trying to get the traffic to my site. These two sites, BlogMad and BlogExplosion have helped me to achieve ranking 17 at the moment for the Internet Marketing/Web Design category in BlogTopSites.

What a great experience.

Let me give you a brief comparison for both.

BlogMad is new. It gives you one point for each surfing, which is very helpful because you don’t need to struggle hard to get even for one point. BlogMad also has a nicer user interface. And the random (Mystery) bonus can be very big. It also has many types of games that you can play to earn more points. There are not many users in the site yet (currently 2040 blogs), because it is new. I am not sure whether you should call this an advantage (because your blog get seen more), or a disadvantage (because you can’t have a lot of unique visits). I was surprised yesterday when their database is totally crashed for a few hours. I believe that’s probably a few hours before it crashed, it was giving away double points, and that have increased the traffic terribly. Hopefully they will be ready when they are flooded by more visitors in the future.

BlogExplosion is a veteran in the Blog Traffic industry. At the time of writing, it has about 38092 blogs listed. What I don’t like from BlogExplosion is the points for surfing. You get only 0.5 points for one site, and for that, you need a longer time to click on the next site. At one point, I get a mystery bonus of 2 points. That was not very big at all, wasn’t it? The best feature in BlogExplosion, in my opinion, is the Battle of the Blogs. Currently I won one battle, and I got 15 points from that. Not bad eh? Oh, you can also rent a space to other people as well. Currently I have got “Rob in China” as my tenant.
Right now, I am trying BlogClicker. This one seems to be hard point as well and there are not many options of earning points, except by paying money.

Hope this will help people in identifying which website is better. I suggest you go for both.

What do you think, all bloggers out there?
