BlogSoldiers

As part of Blog Soldier's commitment to helping bloggers succeed, we've added two great new programs!

First, for those who host the various Blog Carnivals (or look here), we will reward your volunteer effort with FREE credits. That's right, you host a carnival, and we'll give you credits (500 for Carnival of the Vanities, 200 for others). Also, for the Carnival of New Bloggers, we'll reward all participants of the New Blog Carnival with 200 credits as a way of helping new bloggers get readers!

Second, as part of my personal blogging efforts, I've started a new featured column at Blog Critics called the Overlooked Blog Review, where I review established blogs and highlight those I think aren't getting the attention they deserve. If your blog is highlighted, you get a free 1 month membership and if you nominate a blog that I accept to highlight, you also get a free 1 month membership!

This is just one of the many ways we're supporting bloggers and the blogging community! Stay tuned for more great programs by Blog Soldiers!

BlogSoldiers announced today that we are sponsoring Wide Awakes Radio, a blogger-only internet talk radio station. As part of our commitment to see bloggers succeed and getting our voices heard, we support endeavors such as WideAwakes Radio to push the envelope.

First, the membership drive is having great returns... we've about doubled the amount of traffic since the purchase on Monday which is outstanding. We've got some great coverage in the media and some of the blogs and I'm working out some partnerships that will drive even more traffic and fresh members to the site.

Second, I've been working on getting some good variety in the rotation and toss a few of my own credits into sites I think might be interesting or otherwise the best of the blogosphere. Hopefully you guys are finding the increased variety interesting.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Pentex Net, Inc. Acquires Blog Only Traffic Exchange, BlogSoldiers.com

BlogSoldiers.com, a premier blog traffic exchange, has been acquired by John Bambenek of Pentex Net, Inc. promising to provide new and more expansive services to the blogosphere.

Champaign, IL (PRWEB) August 16, 2006 -- BlogSoldiers.com, a premier blog traffic exchange, has been acquired by John Bambenek of Pentex Net, Inc. promising to provide new and more expansive services to the blogosphere.

"Bloggers worldwide are excited about the acquisition and relaunch of BlogSoldiers.com. As an innovative resource available for bloggers to get more visibility for their content, BlogSoldiers is uniquely situated to provide advertising and traffic generation tools to the blogosphere. With the number of blogs increasing to over 50 million, it is a necessity to have a focused resource to provide affordable services to this community.

John Bambenek, CISSP, philanthropist and founder of Pentex Net, Inc. has spent over 10 years in the information technology industry building a reputation for expertise in information security. As a blogger and opinions journalist, he has shown passion for active political participation. He brings a combination of technological expertise and media savvy that will make BlogSoldiers a website to watch in the weeks to come.

BlogSoldiers is free to join and allows people to build traffic to their sites the first day they are on the site. It's extremely easy and user-friendly for even novices to achieve results. In order to maximize your membership, it is important to understand how the traffic generation works. Basically users earn "credits" by surfing blogs and those credits are used when other people visit that user's blog. Paid memberships allow users to pay for upgraded services and credits.

During the period of transition, BlogSoldiers is offering new member incentives like 50 bonus credits for joining, discounts on upgrades, and incentives for existing members such as referral bonuses and incentive credits.

BlogSoldiers offers many other resources for members with both Free and Paid memberships suck as banner and text advertisements and a blog directory. It also includes a blog education center, how-to videos, blog tools, and much more.

Pentex Net, Inc, owner of BlogSoldiers, is a provider of information technology and information security services.

I'm slowly working through the site to tweak settings and facilitate the transfer of ownership. Right now we're having a membership drive to really bring some good variety to BlogSoldiers. Here are the current promotions:

1) 50 referral credits for all new members you refer.
2) 50 bonus credits on surfing 50 sites for new members who join.
3) Surfing Contest for the month of August, the Top 10 surfers will receive up to 500 credits for having the most pages surfed between Aug 15 and Aug 31. Top surfer gets 500, 2nd gets 250, 3rd 150, 4th and 5th get 100, 6th-10th get 50.
4) Membership contest. In ADDITION to the referral bonus, the member with the most sites referred will get 500 credits with the same bonus structure as above.
5) REDUCED PURCHASE PRICE FOR CREDITS! I have reduced the price on purchasing credits for THIS MONTH ONLY! It is now $8 - 1200, $14 - 2500, and $24 - 5000.
6) If you post on your blog about the purchase and relaunch of blogsoldiers, you get 50 credits IN ADDITION to any referral credits that post generates. (Please open a support ticket, send me the permalink and your username).

Also, I've added a new credit purchase option, 600 credits for $5. That's 50 more credits for 50 less cents than Blog Explosion. Go out there and refer some new users!
