Alpha inventions?

As a blog writer, any one of us is curious about ways to bring traffic to your blog (we write to be read of course) presuming content is interesting to someone, then the challenge is one of reaching that someone - a distribution challenge - recently this blog has started to receive a lot of traffic from a referral site alphainventions.com a little investigation reveals a blog aggregation site - perhaps like stumble upon with a curious difference, that what gets you listed is actually blogging about alphainventions (you can also self refer too which gets you listed for a limited time)... and this is what seems a little weird.. I'm guessing most of the readers are bloggers who have just blogged about alpha-inventions looking for their own site appearing, but then guess what - you actually do start to look at some of the blogs that scroll by... so when is traffic not real traffic.....

UPDATE: 6 hours later and over 3000 page views in that time (1000 times normal!) so what is a page view - it seems that in Alpha Inventions, what this means is that your blog has appeared on the screen in front of someone for about 2 seconds before changing to another blog view - this doesn't actually mean anyone clicked through to see the blog as a whole - however, despite this, visibility is a good thing - so even if just one more person reads the blog ...next i am curious what this might do to google rankings......

Final update: after 36 hours thats it - the flood of page views has run to a stop - and piove thank you for the comment you are correct, just self submitting your blog gets you those few extra page views, while here is the difference, which may be more interesting for a business blog - the difference is having blogged about alpha investions itself, there have been over 16,000 page views in the last 36 hours, double the lifetime page views in the last two years - quite a statistic, what value remains an open question, for me anyway....

I had the same phenomenon, but I have never mentioned alphainventions

I just noticed a spike from my normal traffic of about 5-10 a day (family and friends) to 45 and more.
I found alphainventions, and found out that they were directing traffic my way.
You don't need to blog about them, just visiting their website increases your traffic phenomenally.
Not always a good thing. Mine is essentially a blog for people who know me
