If you want more referrals, start a blogger.com blog and tell your story. Even if you don't make much yet, tell about your dream or someone else you know about. Then get a free account with LinkReferral.com and visit 30 pages a day, review 5 or them and make one a favorite and post in their forum at least once. You will get a top listing in the directory and several real visitors a day, much better than any traffic exchange.
While you are doing this, if you come across another blog, leave a comment which will create a link back to yours. Even if the other blog owner is the only one that sees it, it's one more qualified visit. If you can't leave a comment because of the captcha code not having an input box, watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JptTKoE3D4
