Blog Exchanges: Curses and Conundrums- (revised and updated)

So your into blog's ay!
as you are reding this blog you are probably doing so from the comfort of a blog exchange, but which one there are so many, if only someone had been to them all before and decided to give a short but incitefull view on them all. Thats a day most of us think will never come.......

ha ha that day is today I have decided to review them all or at least most, in a short but incitefull manner, who would have thought it.


Mad-Den Blog Traffic
Strange, pretty basic but offers a different clientel to the more established exchanges. Though that said I have nearly 700 credits, but only 4 hits so far. One for the future prehaps.
Blog Explosion
The biggest, the most anal, the most expansive and yes it is still the best, a must to get the widest possible audience. At nearly 30,000 blogs, you rarely see the same one twice in a session.
Wolf Surfer
Not just for blogs, but its wide array of promotion tools drew me in and kept me when I wasn't so sure.
Hit Safari
Again not just for blogs but sounds fun, just starting on this one but has a good reputation so we will see. After a bit of use it seems quite up to the task, and has animal print, definatley growing on me.
Blog Azoo
Cute, mid range exchange worth ago and has the user friendly and community basis that made explosion what it is. Converts your credits into traffic quite quickly compared to most exchange so I am using a lot more.
Blog Clicker
Basic, but has a large user base, a good way of driving up some quick traffic, have been using a lot this week, it simple nature is a definate plus.
Blog Exchange
Professional service, looks bigger than I suspect it is, but its virtue is it offers blogs I don't always see on the mainstream, I have had no problems and found it quite rewarding.
Blog Soldiers
Compared to blog azoo, the phrase comes to mind "same same but different" I have a lot of credits but they take ages to get used, though has improved as of late, the user base must be expanding again worth a try, will put some variety into your life.
Surf Tiger
Again not just for blogs, but brilliant if you want to run up a high volume of traffic in a short space of time, I am not sure of how good a quality of traffic you get though.
Blog Advance
Professional and stylish looking it has been building a good base, though still mid range, one for the future, lots of potential, though the thing you click to take you to the next page uses long numbers in small type, which I struggle to read so takes me longer to mount up the credits. But user base seems to be expanding rapidly
Blog Mad
New one, not quite running yet, and already having some issues with getting a large user base, but has a cool colour scheme, so some promise, though having seen some advance screen shots, looks like there going to use same clicky thing as blog advance so I am already a bit put off, I like things where you can click the number the second the timer hits zero, because not every blog you see is worth reading.
Blog Crowd
I am new to this one, pretty basic on the options but hopefully the quality of traffic will make up for it. Saying that it says I have surfed the entire data base, and I have only looked at about ten blogs, so everyone join up quick so it will let me surf again.

Hope that was usefull, let me know of your experiences with them. enjoy

Just a little p.s.... heres how I would rank them: 1. You must join, 2.-5. High quality expanding exchanges, 6.-10. Potential and Variety, 11.-12. weird.
