Blogrush For A Traffic Boost

I think Blogrush will eventually become a good traffic source as long as I can find the right category to put this blog in. I took it out of internet marketing because it doesn’t fit there and added it to the work at home category because that is what I’m doing and because I can only supply information about what hasn’t worked for me that proves I am not a very successful marketer. Makes sense to me.

Hopefully now that I have changed the category there will be some interesting titles that people will want to click through to find some interesting blogs out there. Since they went through and weeded out 10,000 blogs that were mostly scrapper sites and blogs that were trying to scam their system it seems to be a lot better.

I have heard some people say that the widget has slowed down their blog when loading, but I haven’t noticed any difference in mine. I have also moved it up further so it can be seen and hopefully if you don’t find my information helpful or useful you will find a topic in the blogrush widget that will be helpful.

I like the idea of lesser trafficked sites being able to receive extra bonus credits because we need them more than the older established blogs. So for that reason if you are not able to get your site out there and seen it would be a great idea to join and see what blogrush can do for you, it’s totally free and I now have it on both my blogs.

Effective Marketing / Give Away Samples

I have always maintained that it’s very important to give samples of your product if you’re in business, that’s very important and people will talk about the new products that they have sampled and whether they liked them or not. That’s just good business sense and cheap advertising compared to some of the other expensive ad campaigns.

I use to love when a new business would open up because they always brought around samples of their product to get the businesses in their area interested. I have received loaves of bread from Paneras and hotwings from Hooters. It’s just good marketing and advertising.

The other day I received a sample of the new Biotene sensitive toothpaste and I thought that was pretty cool because Bill already uses a toothpaste for a sensitive mouth and I told him to try this new product. I tried it also even though I use the regular kind and I thought it had a pleasant taste, but I wanted to try it out because it claims to help with dry mouths.

When we ride the Harley my mouth usually gets really dry and I was surprised after only 2 uses that my mouth stayed moist because I usually have to suck on candy or something. So that was pleasant and unexpected. I also liked the fact that it doesn’t foam up when your using it, but Bill likes foam, but he did say he would use it again. He also said it taste like bubble gum and it does, so it’s pleasant.

From what I read on their site it works to get down to the root of problems instead of just masking them and helping the pain and helps if you have irritated gums. I wish they had brought this out earlier because with taking medication in the past and keeping a very dry mouth this would have been very helpful because I never really found a way to get rid of that problem besides sucking on sugar free hard candy. See that’s what I mean about giving samples they just made another customer and I noticed the places that carry it and Rite Aide was on the list.
