My wife has discovered a site that she like to do all her searching. This site is called Swag Bucks. Basically, you use it anytime you need to search the Internet. You have a chance each time to earn what they call Swag Bucks. You can use those  Swag Bucks for some cool prizes and even gift certificates. Some of the prizes are quite good and they are basically free.

The key is to search like you would any other search engine. Only search when you need to and sometimes a Swag Buck pops up and is added to your balance. Another way to earn is to shop at one of their sponsored merchants. The rate of Swag Bucks to  real dollars varies by which merchant you shop at.

Yet another way to earn is to refer your friends and family. If they sign up and use earn bucks, you get one Swag Buck for every Swag Buck they earn up to 100. These can add up quickly if you have several referrals and they are all active.

I checked out the site and it is easy to use and if you are going to search anyway, you might as well have a chance of earning some Swag Bucks to cash in for prizes. My wife is hooked and does all her web searches on their site.

There are some good pros to this site. First and most important is that it is free. Second, you get stuff for something you do anyway and they use top search engines to get the result. Third, if you get lots of referrals, the Swag Bucks can add up quickly.Finally, they have some great prizes for all levels of earnings so you can get something quite quickly.

There are very few cons because it is a free site. However, I can think of a couple. The Swag Bucks grow slowly if you do not have referrals and you do not get them for every search. It is very random so you can lose enthusiasm quickly if you bore easily.

Overall, this is a pretty cool site. I am always excited about any site that gives away free prizes. I suggest you check out Swag Bucks and sign up for your chance to earn prizes for something you do anyway.

I love to check out websites and blogs and often times I find some of the coolest sites simply by visiting sites of those who visit my site. Susan, the owner of New-Wordpress-Themes.net recently visited my SEO Blog and since she is a member of MyBlogLog, I was able to track down her websites.

I was impressed with New-Wordpress-Themes.net and decided to rate it here on my review blog. There are tons of free Word Press Theme sites on the Internet. I love to look at the different themes so I decided to take a look at this one. I was impressed with the look as soon as the page opened. It is nicely designed and looks very professional.

Of course, a website with a nice design does not always mean that the content is equaled to the look. With this website, the content is great. There are many themes in the gallery for free download. There are some I have seen and some nice ones that I have not discovered elsewhere. My only negative to the themes was the fact that all the themes do not have demos. Otherwise, there are all the great features of a good theme gallery.

If the themes was the only thing this site offered, I would not have been so excited by the site. The site offers its own forums. This is a nice feature for people who love to feel like that are part of a community. That is not all the site also offers a great list of ways to monetize your blog. Though these links are affiliate links, it offers new and even experienced bloggers a nice list of ways to make money.

If all that was not enough, the site has a great list of some of the best Word press Plugins and tools. I have seen many times new bloggers asking what plugins should I use. This list is a good one and should include most needs of any blogger.

Overall, this is a great website and a wonderful resource for bloggers. I am sure to add this one as a favorite and I hope my readers will find equally useful.

As you know, I am always on the hunt for great websites. If it is useful my readers, I try to include it here. Recently, I was searching for ways to promote my blogs and ran across a great site that will help anyone who owns a blog.

I found a DoFollow Directory that has categories of sites that not only allows comments but all the sites are having dofollow links. This means that if you leave a comment on a site listed in the directory related to your blog, it will provide a link that the search engines will follow back to your site. This is the number one way to get listed in the search engines and ranked high.

I found this directory to be a great resource and it was well designed. If you own a blog, they allow you to Submit Dofollow Blogs for free. Because many website owners are always looking for links back to their site, this will increase your traffic.

Another cool feature of this directory is that people can vote on your site. This will show how popular your blog is and will help you improve your blog. If you own a blog or website, this site has to be on your favorites. I provided the links to see the directory and a direct link to submit your own blog. Please feel free to comment of you used the directory, I would love to check out your blog.

Entrecard.com is a site set up to exchange traffic with other bloggers. It is based off the premise of the old business card idea. If you stop by a blog that has a Entrecard widget installed, you can drop your card to show that you were there. By doing this, you review credits from Entrecard.

Using those very same widgets, people can advertise on your site and you can advertise on their site. This is done by spending your credits. You earn credits when you drop a card, someone drops a card on you, or you sell advertisements on your widget.

It is easy to sign up and the service is free. You simply create a 125×125 logo of your site. This can be done either yourself or you can use a generic one created on their site. You place a small widget on your blog in the sidebar and then start to visit blogs. The more drops you make, the more credits you have to advertise.

The cost of advertising is based on how popular the website is. Each ad runs for one day. The more ads waiting to advertise on a certain site, the more credits it cost to advertise. It is easy to search for related sites and also search by cheapest or newest.

I was a bit confused on how to use Entrecard so I did not use it much when I first signed up. I could not figure out how to approve sites to advertise on my blogs. This is quite easy. The ads are located on the right side of the dashboard when you log in. It will showing all ads waiting for approval and the ads waiting that have already been approved. It also shows the current ad running. You have the option to decline any ad you feel is not matched with your site or inappropriate.

I love the site, it is fun and a great way to see new blogs that I would otherwise never know about. I like to play around when I am bored and drop cards on several sites. The site is easy to navigate once you know what you are doing.

The downside is, I have not seen quality traffic from Entrecard. People seem to just stop by drop a card and leave. I have just recently started using the advertising and as of yet, I have not seen too many results. This may change and I will update this post if it does.

Overall, this site is fun, it does not take too much time. It is a free way to earn credits with a chance to advertise on other blogs. The quality of traffic is not well targeted because people will stop by any blog to be able to earn credits.

I would not say this is a huge source of traffic and it takes some time to earn credits. However, it is free and any traffic could have the potential to convert to a loyal reader. I say that you have nothing to lose by using their service and unlike many social exchange sites, they do not over regulate with their rules.  For this reason, I say jump on board and have fun. You can see how it looks on your site by looking at the sidebar
