With the loss of Adgitize, I’m sure that many of us are looking at alternate methods of increasing traffic to our blogs. I will be creating a page of bloggers, who would like regular visits to their blog and are willing to visit other bloggers on the page in return. There’s no charge. I just thought this would be an easy way to keep in touch and keep benefiting from the traffic.
If you would like to be included on the page, please Send Me A Message. In the message box, please include your blog’s url and url for the widget you would like to have displayed as a link to your blog.
I’ll be adding the blog page in the next day.
BLOG VISITS PAGE NOW AVAILABLE Just click on Blog Visits in the navigation bar at the top of this page.

As a child, I enjoyed doing errands with my mother. The grocery store held the promise of candy or gum. Woolworth’s produced a nickel toy from their vast selection. The pharmacy meant sitting at the soda fountain and getting whatever I wanted for free. It took me a while to realize this only happened, if your uncle owned the pharmacy. I enjoyed selecting stamps at the post office and checking out all the gadgets at the hardware store. Each visit held possibilities for excitement. The bank was the sole exception.
