Have you tried the CMF spikes yet ?
If you are a member, you can buy spikes for .20 cents and get 50 visitors to your site.
Seems like a bargain to me, and for those of us coming back from a little downtime due to the holidays, it's a great way to get your numbers back up.
You can also make a little coin by clicking on the spikes in the special new spikes section.
You wont get rich, but every little bit helps.
Good luck blogging and money making to everyone this year : )
