Experience so far with blog explosion

Blog explosion has some great features, but it's not a silver bullet. Many are suspicious of blog explosion's traffic generation feature and worry that people who come to your blog through blog explosion are just interested in gaining credits and not reading their blog.

There is some merit to these suspicions. However, if you look at blog explosion as just another marketing tool (one of many) for your blog, it's really not a bad tool. Of course, marketing is useless unless there's something behind it. For blogs that means content. Good content that's frequently updated is really the key for blogs. But once you have content, you need some marketing.

Visiting a few sites each day with blog explosion can be a great way to not only bring in some new readers to your blog, but also to experience other nice blogs. If you come across a blog that you don't like, there's no reason to wait 30 seconds to get credit for it. Just move on. There's always something interesting being talked about in the blogosphere. And that's why I think a blog traffic generator like blog explosion can last.

Here are some threads from different forums discussing blog explosion. They include some positives and negatives about the site.
