Explode Your Blog Traffic with Explode!

by Paula Neal Mooney


Don't fret, MyBlogLog pet, but there's a new social site in town called Explode!

TechCrunch led me to this new Explode! site that lets you enter your profile, upload your pic and enter your website that other Explode! users can visit.

Here are some cool things about Explode!...

  • Explode! allows you to enter a long lists of interest in your profile. They turn to blue links when someone else has entered that same interest, allowing you to visit the person who shares your interest.


  • Explode! even provides you with a tag cloud so you can see what interests are already out there.


  • Explode! let's you add friends by clicking the little plus icon, or "un-friend" them by clicking the minus icon.


  • If you've listed your blog's site in your Explode! profile, Explode! users who click on your picture or friend request emails will be led directly to your blog, not your Explode! profile page.


  • Explode! has a nice widget (though not as cool as MyBlogLog's widget, I must say) that I've placed at the bottom of my blog. It tracks site and page counts.


  • The commet wall in Explode! takes HTML and your comments rotate on the home page of Explode!


  • Explode! seems addictive.

I came to Explode via Techcrunch as well and saw we have similar tags. I think it's potentially a great service and I'm glad to give it a try. Cheers!

Oh my goodness! How can you keep up with them both? (Have you tried spicypage (http://www.spicypage.com/)?) Did I already miss your feedback on it.

Personally, I'm just getting the hang of MyBlogLog. I don't know if I can keep up with another one.
God bless you for all the energy that you have to find this stuff...as it is I can barely keep my eyes open.

I'll leave all the sweeping numbers to you...LOL!

Hi Michael and Bryan - Good to meet you both!

Laura - I checked out spicypage and have gotten a whole bunch of messages thru them that I haven't read yet. Maybe I'll pick 'em up one day...

Thanks, Bonnie. I love having high energy! Don't worry, I'll keep hiping you all to the stuff I find.

Jose - I'll see you over there!

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
