As a blogger, you know how important it is to have lots of people visiting your blog.
After all, a site that no one ever visits is pretty much useless, especially if you hope to make money with it.
If your blog is new you’ve probably spent some time searching Google for ways to increase the number of visitors you have coming to it on a daily basis.
And if that’s the case, chances are you’ve come across a service called TrafficSwarm.

Question from Andrew: Rick, I have a weird problem and I’m hoping you can help me solve it.
Since I switched from I.E. to Google Chrome I can’t read any RSS feeds. All I see is gibberish that looks like computer code.
I really like Chrome, but I really need to be able to read RSS feeds.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

If you’re a blogger you’re probably always on the lookout for opportunities to boost your blog traffic.
After all, more traffic results in more conversions (sales, advertising revenue, email signups, etc.), right?
Well, I recently began researching ways to boost the traffic to RicksDailyTips as well, and one of the tools I stumbled across is a service called 10DollarSoloAds.
This post is a review of my experience with them.
You might no be aware of this, but many of the companies you do business with and websites you visit share information about your activities with Facebook.
While most of the info they share about you is fairly generic and non-user specific, some of the info shared by less reputable companies can be quite detailed.
This data sharing scheme is called Off-Facebook Activity and this page discusses which types of data most of Facebook’s partner companies share with them.
