    Why not do CONTENT for Traffic swaps?

    Just found out, been checking the wrong site for ubam visitors!
    Now that I went and checked the right site, actually getting visitors from ubam.
    Not many hits, upwards to 103 so far.

    It is just another way to advertise.
    Some ways are useless to some people, and helpful to others.
    Price was right, and do get visitors, so I can not say totally useless to advertise there.

    IMHO

    Hi, After keeping constant watch on this thread, I finally decided to join DP forums and make a post. (I'm Ashkan from UBlam.com by the way...)

    Basically I finally did my Press Release (on wednesday 17th) and news websites are starting to put up their own versions.

    Here is the one I sent out (It was sent to 5200 journalists and media firms):
    biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060517/ukw015.html

    Here are a couple in other languages (their own translations not mine):
    German: ecin.de/news/2006/05/19/09507/
    French: benefice-net.branchez-vous.com/nouvelles/06-05/10-214905.html

    Hopefully there will be more news websites posting about it.

    In regards to people saying it is like SU. I only found out about SU after I had made the site, also although UBlam may be the same as SU, advertisers can compete on UBlam whereas on SU the chances of all the sites coming up is the same.

    In regards to other sites like UBlam all I can say is that you can see the effort I have put in and it hurts to even be compared with them! Not only is the design unique which makes it a mile better than the rest of them,UBlam has conquest ( ublam.com/conquest.php) page, the miniblams on about 20 websites, the widget and toolbars etc...Also none of the other have done a press release as large as mine.

    If you have any questions please ask.

    Welcome to DP Ashkan :).

    I signed up with UBlam a while ago as a test. I'm not sure if it has sent me any visitors though, do you include referer information in the redirected traffic?

    This is quick bucks for the UBlam guy, yet another off ripper and shi**y link farm. Natural SEO rates much better for free.

    What are you talking about, this is nothing to do with SEO or link farms.

    Cheers Kozuch82 for your comment however much nice you sound. If it was just quick bucks for me, I could've made a rubbish site and left it be and not done any advertising to get the people on the BLAM hits. I have spent alot on press releases etc and have created widgets (one of which has recieved 9527 downloads: widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=39215) and toolbars to get more hits to my customers. There's lots more widgets downloaded in other places, I can provide a list if you want. And here are a few (it will take me a long time to find every single one) places you can find my miniblam:

    lecornichon.qc.ca/journal/journal.html
    fletcherapts.comicgenesis.com
    turnbucklemayhem.com
    rakebackdeals.co.uk
    sixseconds.comicgenesis.com
    tribal-unity.com/Friends.html
    eurkosart.net/omen/links.php
    www. cantbarsed.com/funnystuff.htm
    homestead.com/wintersteel/favorite_links~ns4.html
    platform27.co.uk/itsbroken
    wannaspell.com

    UBlam also gets hits from some blogs and news websites.

    dct, can you give me the address of your links so I can check the number of hits. I went through all the links before the press release and disabled (and refunded) some that I felt Blammers wouldn't want to see, since as Summer said earlier, the key to making this work is have interesting websites. Just give me your links and I'll let you know whether you are on the list of sites which I deactivated (although I doubt it is) and if I haven't got your money's worth of hits, I will refund your money straight away.
