Alpha-Inventions- A Traffic Gold Mine?

The web has become increasingly easier to create and publish websites. And this is a great thing. However, having a website is good, but if no one comes to visit, then what is the point?

I have been studying and researching how to gain traffic and readership for the last year. But it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that I stumbled onto alphainventions.com. I had never heard of it but the concept seems to be fairly straight forward.

The Concept

AlphaInventions is all about connecting bloggers to other bloggers in real-time. To do this, there is a cycle of 100 blogs. Anyone can add their blog to the cycle by entering in their website URL. However, when you enter your website, you will knock someone else out of the cycle. Having your website in this cycle will then bring traffic to your blog. The website even promises you that it will bring you traffic to your site soon.

Does it Deliver?

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first. I mean it seems too good to be true. Enter in your website and sit back and watch the traffic come in. But since it was free, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. So I did…

I was quite surprised by the results that I received. Within in an hour of submittig my blog to alphainventions, my traffic had gone from around 10 views for the day to nearly 60. That was pretty cool to see the graph for that day!

What Kind of Traffic Is It?

OK, so there are some good and bad to this site. While it is great that I can enter my blog onto the site for free and get traffic, my next question is, is it targeted traffic? Meaning, will it convert? This is still being tested, but so far it seems to be somewhat random traffic.

Any Traffic Is Good Traffic

Some people just want traffic. They will take any traffic. Maybe they like to see the graph shoot up for each day. Others are looking for more targeted traffic because they are looking to convert them into buyers and subscribers. This is the traffic that I am more interested in. And I would have to guess most other bloggers are as well.

My Final Verdict

So here is my final verdict: AlphaInventions absolutely delivers on its promise of delivering traffic to your blog quickly.  I will continue to submit my blog to alphainventions for the exposure, and any traffic is a bonus to me. I think the idea of the site is excellent and I hope it continues to grow as more people learn about it. However, I would like to be able to submit my blog to a category which would then send me targeted traffic matching that category. Maybe that can happen down the road…

For now, I think it is a great start and is another source for getting exposure and driving traffic to your blog.
