It's sort of a virtual stock market, where you invest in blogs rather than companies.

Looks interesting. Laughing

Although, one must wonder. All you need to do is write a simple load bot in turing that uses a list of proxies (1000?) and click on whatever blog you want to beef up. ie: I invest my whole $500 in a blog, and then let the links soar, sell, profit!

I assume this is how it works, it might be different. Confused

It's not nearly that simple. However, just buying a large number of shares of the $0.20 blogs can greatly inflate their value. I've been trading for a few hours and I'm showing 67% growth of my portfolio.

So like I said, invest your full $500 on cheap stock, and sell like mad.

Well yeah, but you don't have to do anything else to the blog to drive the price up. I believe you have tohang onto it for at least 6 hours, though.
