I found a site that can help you to get more traffic to your blog. It is called Entrecard and it is fairly new. It is different than most traffic exchange sites. The concept is very interesting and unique.
Entrecard allows you to make a business card for your blog. Then you exchange your "business card" with other members. You get credits for every card you drop off with someone else and also credits for cards dropped with you.
The credits allow you to advertise your blog on a widget that is placed on member’s sites. You can pick which site you would like your blog to be advertised on as long as you have enough credits. Other blog owners will request to advertise on your widget as well, which will give you more credits.
I decided to give this new system a try. I placed the widget on my blog last evening. Since then, I have recieved 21 visits to my blog from Entrecard. That seems like a decent number in such a short time. The question is, are these worthwhile visits or just users dropping off their card?
I think most of those visits are just quick visits for card drop offs. However, you never know when a visitor like that might take an interest in the content of your blog. I have dropped off my card too and I did take notice of each blog I visited. I think there is potential there to turn visitors into actual readers.
I will let you know what I think about Entrecard after I have been with it longer. So far, it seems to show more potential than any other traffic system I have tried.

We like to stress that members stopping by to drop off their card is just a bonus.
The real benefit is from the advertising that you can buy, on any blog in the network, for free. The advertising you get free through Entrecard is just as paying for a 125×125 ad space, albeit just for a day.

Thank you for the clarification. I think the advertising aspect of it is very promising!
