As the web gets more congested, this will be a good way to reduce the clutter. Thanks for the resource, i will definitely check out trafficjam to see how it works for me.</p>JesseMon, 05 May 2008 16:45:48 -0000http://andybeard.eu/1242/trafficjam.html#comment-12527835<p>I like how you talk about the importance of headlines if you want to get people to click on your link.

It's actually a security issue if you can grab a session ID from another user before it times out you gain control of their account. You can change the use of session id to never in the php configuration file. It's on as standby by default.</p>Lord MattFri, 07 Mar 2008 10:20:55 -0000http://andybeard.eu/1242/trafficjam.html#comment-10993433<p>The seesion ID lark is easy to deal with. php does it for you if there is a cookies problem or if you choose to do all work via the URL.

It's the referrals aspect that bothers me the most. Am I going to have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to build up referrals before I start seeing benefits? The ROI may not be worth it for those of us who have never used Blogrush up to this point.</p>GuestSun, 24 Feb 2008 15:04:22 -0000http://andybeard.eu/1242/trafficjam.html#comment-10993428<p>I've never used Blogrush so I wonder if I'll find any value in adding it now so my posts could get indexed by Trafficjam.
