Don't Get Burned Buying Gadgets

In the run up to Christmas, the rush to get the perfect gift, or the gift someone really wants, can lead to some bad decisions and wasted money. Not everyone can be an expert on every subject, and that is certainly true of high tech gadgets. It’s easy to end up with the wrong thing, or something much more expensive than needed, especially when you don’t know much about the product and you are relying entirely on a salesperson or sales literature. One way to minimize these risks is to be an educated shopper, and know at least the basics about the item you are shopping for.

About the Blog Swapper Network

The Blog Swapper Network actually grew up as a whole bunch of different unrelated sites, originating as several blogs operated by a group of local friends. Over time, more "confederates" were added through connections made online. A series of experiments in generating traffic to our websites ended with various members operating traffic exchanges, safelists, downlinebuilders ... all the tools web marketers use to build traffic, which are often not even considered by bloggers and content site operators, who tend to concentrate on search engine placement alone. Finally, one of our original group got the idea of combining all our various sites into a single network. So here we are. Feel free to browse around our site, located HERE. Hopefully you will find something useful, informative or entertaining. After all, that's why we put the site together.

It's a Start

Hey, at least we've got the blog set up. We'll get around to actually posting something interesting. Really. We promise.
