		<description>I personally like Blog Explosion and have gotten quite a few loyal visitors from there. the 30 second timer helps and reminding your visitors to bookmark your site are important.
If you have something worth reading they will look and come back.. just my opinion.

		<description>Hi Jackie, thanks for your comment!

TE&#039;s leave a lot to be desired in terms of traffic quality -- you&#039;ll always get people on the exchanges who couldn&#039;t care less about reading any of the blogs.  Some blogs I see just don&#039;t have content that interests me, but others do.  No blog is going to be of interest to everyone.  If it&#039;s a personal finance blog, I usually look it over a bit.

It&#039;s even worse with general content TE&#039;s -- it&#039;s very easy to become a zombie and click-click-click-click-click-click because you can only read the same identical money-making program website so many times before you have it memorized.  This is a point in favor of blog-only TE&#039;s: you get a lot more variety in the blogs and much less repetition.

BlogExplosion is still a traffic exchange and suffers from the weaknesses inherent to all traffic exchanges, but it compensates for this by offering other features (rating, blogmarking, directory, etc.) that a lot of other TE&#039;s don&#039;t.  It&#039;s better than a lot of them for this reason.

Very interesting blog of yours by the way -- I hope that you keep it going!</description>

		<description>Although I use blog explosion...I&#039;m not so sure that it&#039;s where it&#039;s at.  Do you think that  a lot of people just click on your blog without even reading it...I have to admit that&#039;s what I usually do.</description>
