Finally at some point yesterday what should of kicked in a while ago became clear as day. For my blog forum the best affiliates I can think of are domain registration and web hosting.

First let me point out that Bloggeries is currently running on HostGator hosting with a domain registered through GoDaddy.

Hostgator has a pretty awesome affiliate program. I like how you get paid $50 a referral and the …

How Does Post Toaster Increase Blog Traffic?

March 13, 2008 | Author: Dave | Filed under: SEO and Marketing

One of the most effective ways you can increase traffic to your blog is through social networking sites, like Digg or StumbleUpon. However, one of the downsides to this is the amount of time it takes to submit your new post on each and every one.

Welcome to the world of “A Little Bit Easier” with Post Toaster

What It Is

PostToaster is a rather neat free resource that allows you to streamline the submission of your post to the various social bookmarking sites. When I say “various”, I mean their current roster of 73 different sites. This came as a surprise to me, since I could have probably only named ten or so, and none of them would have been IndianPad, ThisNext or Sk*rt, all of which are niche social bookmarking sites that PostToaster is compatible with.
