BlogRush - The Easy Way to Get More Readers?

October 3rd, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

What is the aim of every blogger? As much traffic as possible, of course! Normally it means a lot of work and sometimes money. But than comes BlogRush and says it has the ultimate weapon to send you thousands of visitors for (quite) nothing.

To start, go to BlogRush.com, register for a free account and add your blog. You can select a category which will later help BlogRush finding the right content for your site. After you have installed the widget, let the magic begin..

Blogrush

How does it work

Now you can see the BlugRush widget on your site (or look in the menu on the right of this blog) showing 5 posts of blogs with related content. If you click on one of these links, a new window will open and refers you to the article. But how should this supports you drive more traffic to your own blog? That’s easy. Always when the BlogRush widget is shown on your site, one of your posts will, in return, appear in the widget of another (topic related) blog. This means that if you have 100 pageviews a day, your posts will appear on 100 other blogs.

A Comprehensive Guide to Free Fonts

September 26th, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

Font

It’s always difficult to find the right typeface for a logo or even a website. Here are some resources of free fonts but remember if your are using special fonts on your site less visitors will be able to see the site with the actual font and most see the site in a standard font. I recommend you to use rare fonts just for your logo but if you really want to use such a special font for your site be sure to declare alternative font styles in your stylesheet.

Free font resources:

Dafont.com offers user created free fonts. 7500 typefaces have already been submitted to Dafont.
Grsites.com has a big collection of about 6800 fonts, including a logo and button maker.
1001freefonts.com gives you 1001 fonts for nothing.
There are 11202 nicely categorized fonts on Abstractfonts.com. It’s one of the biggest free anthologies out there.
