DISQUS

Never understood the lure of traffic exchanges myself....

Crappy, untargeted traffic who are just doing what you're doing - unhappily surfing sites to get credits.

I think that there are much better ways to promote your blog. Or am I missing something? (Never really looked into them)

I completely agree, Stu. I use them for a little boost about once a week just because my blog is so new. But I can't understand people who use them constantly as their main source of traffic. If you need to build traffic, spend the time you'd spend surfing reading other blogs and commenting. I find that to be a much better way to get actual readers.

The key with traffic exchanges is to understand it's advertising, so you need to make ads for it rather than sticking your whole site in. I stuck a feedburner email subscribe form on some pages, and made ads that mentioned the topics I blog about, and went from 100 to about 400 subscribers within a few months. It can be tedious, but if you play around with it, it can be quite rewarding =P
