I love blogging as well but its very hard for me to create quality contents. This is a nice article and I really liked what Yaro wrote here. And of course, most of the links from Blogcatalog are no-follow but its very good for direct traffic.

Hello there,

For me, whatever method that you are going to undertake in blog marketing, just make the best as you can and don’t stop searching and finding best SEO tool for your online business.

There are other SEO benefits to joining Blogcatalog besides the PR. Before I optimized my blog http://www.yangtown.com, when a person searched for “Masculine Power” in Google, the blogcatalog profile of my blog was one of the first 5 results and even showed up ahead of my blog (Now after using SEO plugins etc, it is #6 result and my blog is #1).

Using the blogcatalog profile is a great way to gain high placement in search results since their directory already has good SEO.

Also, I was very surprised at how active and welcoming the community in blogcatalog is towards one another. It’s a great atmosphere.

My Analytics show a consistence stream of traffic coming (although still small overall) from the site.

Cheers on spreading the word about BC,

Ryan

Tony did not remove all no follows. If you submit your RSS feed to BlogCatalog each post that shows up on BlogCatalog has the nofollow in it. They are still using Onclick which passes no Pagerank.

Yaro…the BlogCatalog community has really begun to thrive since you wrote your review. BlogCatalog has an active Discussion area that has members participating around the clock.

Regarding the Page Rank issue. We removed all no follows in February. Page rank is passed to all listed blogs. In fact there are 2 links on a blog listing page that pass PR. While PR is only one reason to join, there are many others for bloggers including a place to connect with other bloggers, learn from some really top notch bloggers as well as receive more traffic to your blog.

I agree with your comments in terms of direct traffic from linking. However, the real trick with linking is to choose your keywords carefully and use them consistently with ALL your linking efforts. Ok the PR ranking of the site you are linking from plays a major part in the overall effectiveness, but direct linking of targeted keywords is not to be underestimated.

Great site btw and good luck with your future efforts

I run the website BloggingSponsorships.com and found this review to be very interesting. My blog directory site is tailored to help users find sponsors for their blog, but it also acts as a directory of sorts. Im looking forward to listing my blog sponsorship site on this directory. Hopefully the results will be worthwhile.

Yaro -

I completely agree with you. I run a free advertising network over at http://adgridwork.com and its amazing how many people will pass up the opportunity for free, efficient exposure (our network spans over 1,500 sites including a few high profile web 2.0 companies with millions of visitors a month). It seems that so many bloggers and sites are wrapped up with the SEO craze that has been sweeping the net as of late, that they forget all about some of the tried and true methods such as directory submissions and link exchanges. I expect sites like these to pick up once the initial rush from SEO/SEM dies down. Great article.
