Increasing traffic randomly

I was reading Mike-O-Matic and ran across his Click Pyramid site.

This is how it works:

1. You visiting each link below in turn and collect the codes that are presented.
2. These codes are entered into the form below, along with the website information you would like added to our database.
3. You are then given a link to a new list, which will have your site first on the list and each one moved down one slot. The bottom site will drop off.
4. You can then place that link in web advertisements or on your website/blog. Any users who click on it will go through a similar process to add their link, and will spread your link even further.

I figured it couldn't do any harm, so I created my own ID, #208. Only 208! Oh well, I guess I'm spreading good karma for someone who created a couple of blog entries that I found interesting.

Of course, if I advertise that link, wouldn't I just be better off advertising my own site instead of adding it to a list with 4 other sites? I guess that I could get a few people to check out my site simply because they want to advertise theirs, but doesn't allowing them to leave a comment on my blog accomplish roughly the same thing?

The thought is still somewhat interesting, but someone will have to turn it around somehow to make it work.
