If the reason you're doing it is to build link popularity, then you're looking in the wrong place. If you don't add value, don't bother. Otherwise, comments are more than welcome!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lee Odden</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:42:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128220</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This post has been included on &lt;a href="http://www.nolibel.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.nolibel.com"&gt;NoLibel.Com&lt;/a&gt; as one of &lt;a href="http://www.nolibel.com/2007/04/11/22-killer-articles-on-making-money-online/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.nolibel.com/2007/04/11/22-killer-articles-on-making-money-online/"&gt;22 Killer Articles On Making Money Online&lt;/a&gt;.

Mostly, no.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technical answer... if you look at the source of this page you'll notice a "nofollow" property applied to all links by anonymous commenters; that's us. This is becoming a standard practice among blog administrators as penalties can be incurred if a site has too many 'irrelevant' links. That said, there are blogs out there that don't apply 'link condoms' to comments as their admins are either not well informed or are satisfied with moderating all comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3 weeks is very premature, write more content and build up a readership. You can only build a readership by writing more content! :D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the safe side and take this as a gem; not many blog hosts will tell you their traffic volume, it took me appx. 6 months of progressive posts - that is trying different topics, styles and language while analysing each variations interest response - within my post frequency - at least one post every three days - to achieve 2500+ pageviews per week and climbing.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michael Visser</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2007 04:23:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128218</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey I got a question about how to promote your blog. If I leave a comment on a blog that has a high page rank, will Google know that and start to rank my blog at higher page ranks? My blog is called &lt;a href="http://www.freeforallreviews.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.freeforallreviews.blogspot.com"&gt;Free For All Reviews&lt;/a&gt; and is only about 3 weeks old now. I have been trying to increase my page rank and I ask this question to see if it has worked for other people.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Randy</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2007 02:54:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128217</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I work for the Mequoda Group, and last month we started ranking the top 100 media blogs in the US based on UV counts. You can check out February's results here: &lt;a href="http://daily.mequoda.com/top100/top100.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://daily.mequoda.com/top100/top100.html"&gt;http://daily.mequoda.com/to...&lt;/a&gt; and next week we will be announcing the March results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thing is with blogs, there are so many on such a wide array of topics that the possibilities for listing or ranking them by category are almost infinite. Maybe a good idea for a site: 100 blog lists of tip 100 blogs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any takers?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Adam Sutton</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2007 16:44:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128216</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Great list to use to market a blog.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Charlie Cook</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2007 11:39:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128215</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Now that I've had time to think about it, some webmasters might structure the URL like that for an Adwords landing page and fill the columns with Adsense or any other impression based pay model to pay for the sponsored link as well as some petty cash on the side.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michael Visser</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2007 03:12:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128214</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Michael,&lt;br&gt;That's just how it ended up I guess.

I'm covering the Australian online business directories; it's a nice little market I can test the waters on before taking on bigger projects like listing blog directories. :D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why did you not place your listing page within the &lt;a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/resources/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.toprankblog.com/resources/"&gt;www.toprankblog.com/resources/&lt;/a&gt;... folder?

I'll admit though that I tend to find that the directories, while potentially good for referring visitors, are certainly very beneficial as another way of starting / developing inbound links for ranking purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've just completed a post giving bitesized thoughts on blog promotion methods - would you be ok with my updating the Blog Directories part with a link to your list?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Mark White - BBB</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2007 18:53:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 97 Blog Directories</title><link>http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/04/97-blog-directories/#comment-17128209</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I'm sure that some of the blog directories are good.
