Does Your Link List Link To Blogs? From Where?

Simon · 2007-08-17, 08:18 AM

A suggestion for the link lists which want more blogs submitted to them would be to mention blogs in your rules, and offer bloggers a recip which is just a simple 2-4 word text link that can be added to the sidebar on a blog.

I think some bloggers don't submit blogs to link lists because they're not sure they can (based on the rules page) and because they don't want to add a bunch of big recip buttons to their blog.

(Sure, I know it's not that hard to contact the link list owner and ask, but I'm talking about making things more blogger-friendly if you want more blogs submitted.)

Maybe there are other reasons that more blogs don't get submitted to link lists, so perhaps someone else will offer ideas about this.

Well, I have been taking blogs on tripleXworld.com from 2005 until now and I just counted them. I have 27 blogs listed.

Maybe it's that most bloggers assume LL's won't take them and don't bother trying to submit them to any linklists. From what I can tell, most of the larger LL's never really made the change to start taking them. Some did of course.

There are a number of reasons I don't submit my blogs to link lists but the biggest one is I don't know who takes them and who doesn't.

A blog category does me no good. Your porn surfers are looking for their favorite perversion not for blogs.

Those that put blogs in their porn categories...ok that's good for me for a couple days...then what. Free site builders have submitted more free sites but I get no credit on your link list for updating daily

For UW who allows daily submission of blog posts...I personally just cant discipline myself to submit daily even though I know there would be a bigger benefit for my blogs in doing so. For the other bloggers, call it a social bookmarking site. They will submit daily to those but won't be bothered if you call it a directory. (I know first hand, I started a blog directory that accepted posts...its now collecting dust.)
