Yesterday I posted the start of a very cool list put together by Craig Caron and posted on The Warrior Forum.

It shows you A LOT of excellent ways to get more traffic to your blog. So, without further delay….

Here’s Part Two!

WARNING: Some of the techniques are a bit maverick and not condoned by me and this blog (although they did really make me laugh – just look out for the airport and the eBay ‘stunts’).
