Over the last few days I've been researching free ways to promote my site. I have been visiting many blog directories and submitting SproutWorks and SproutSearch. SproutSearch has really been growing it's content, and now has links to over 1.3 million blogs. It is now my task to turn it into a unique and useful reference. I have started to organize the blogs into pages related to various words and phrases. I even thru in some foreign-lanugage blogs for good measure. My mind is actively churning the data mining possibilities.

I have joined several traffic exchanges.

When I am surfing on a traffic exchange, I wonder if the extra traffic I receive is going to make much of a difference. If I sit here clicking away for an hour, is it worth the extra maybe 100 visitors I will get? If you are reading this, I hope you are getting at least a morsel of worthwhile information.

I am working on a web/blog promotion page, to try to get someone to sign up under me in these traffic exchanges. It seems like there are only a few good resources on traffic exchanges and RSS promotion tools.
