Since I haven’t done it yet (how remiss of me), hello to all the people who have arrived here from BlogExplosion!
Speaking of BE, I logged in today, and checked my credits to find that I have the grand total of -1 credits. How do you get negative credits? Sure I haven’t surfed for a couple of days, but to deduct credits? I haven’t seen that before. I guess I must be REALLY naughty. Shame on me! *spank*

I need to learn how Blog Explosion works. I signed up last week, and entered some things about my blog, but was too lazy to read all the fine print and really understand what the site is all about.

Negative credits? This aint possible! I have never heard of that. Have you checked the FAQ?

Same here JR. I surfed a few blog through BE, but somehow I feel “restricted” there. I’d rather just surf from blogroll to blogroll I think.

You get negative credits when the BE system assigns your page to be viewed, however, at that time you don’t have any credits available for that site. This is a bug.. er I mean feature of most traffic exchange sites.
BE is a typical traffic exchange site. You register your Blogs and then use their “Surf for Credits” page to view other blogs. For every blog you visit you get .5 credits. For every 1 credit you get someone looking at your blog.

Hi, found you through BE. Loved your list of things that piss you off.
I’ll link to you on my blog if that’s ok!

Yeah, that does confuse me about BE. On the Add/Edit Blogs page I have ‘O’ credits. On the My Banners page it says I have 96 credits. ???

I spend way too much time on BE.

okay, so ric beat me to the explanation, I guess theres no point repeating what he’s said..and I agree with everyone, BE is very addictive.

JR: I think the gist of it is that you surf people’s blogs, and you get visitors! That’s pretty much all you need to know.
QM: No, I didn’t try to work it out. And lucky I didn’t, because Ric offered an explanation anyway!
JaG: Some of the blogs there are pretty bad, but I have found some cool ones too!
Ric: Oh, thanks for that! I know how the credit system works, but I didn’t know about the negative credit thing.
Ms Mac: Hi! Thanks for linking to me
Dawn: Does the banner credit mean how many impressions you have left before you have to buy more banner credits? I’ve only done the banner thing once, so I haven’t used it much.
Johnnie Walker: Me too!

Wow, I am scared to check mine after the past few days. I am sure I am nearing negative 50 or so.

Ah I’ve never had negative credits, but as I find BE to be a wonderful procrastination tool, I don’t see that even occuring anytime soon. I should be studying..aaagghhk….no sleep for me…but it is much more fun to sit and type in this window, than it is to read a boring book. Oh well, Happy Monday!

Negative credits - Thats weird. I have logged on a few times and have had one credit and wondered where it came from lol. I havent been on in a few days either so thats where I am off soon. Hugs

I wish I knew!! The banner credits accumulate while I surf, and also while I surf I get visitors to my site. BUT!! Shortly after I stop surfing through BE, visitors aren’t pointed to my site anymore. UNLESS I use banner credits to display my banner. I really don’t understand how it works yet! I’d rather use the banner credits to get myself more hits by my site being in ROTATION - not by using banner credits!

I’m trying to figure out all of the BlogExplosion business myself. I haven’t surfed in a few days either. Oh well.

Yaya & Dawn: It seems that lots of BE people haven’t surfed for a while!
Jessica: Yes, I’m fine - thankyou for asking
See my post above.
Brent: Hi! I’ll be entering your contest
Missfee: How are you? What’s wrong with BE? Did you fix it up?

I have had BE for sometime and though I keep getting hits when my credits are 0, I have never got a negative credit. Maybe it was a +0.5 which got a hit and became a -0.5. Must be a bug.
