What most of the blog directories that require a recip link are missing

Well, it makes it tougher that a big majority of blogs are splogs, gallery posts and nothing much more. It's hard to find many with a descent amount of text.

And on the other hand if you run a directory, and you only want quality you have to put up with people bitching because you wont list their stuff...

I think The Walrus set aside a section on Porn Blog Surfer called Gallery Blogs for blogs with little or no text. That makes sense, you can list them but not list them with blogs that are more purely um, bloggish.

And my blogs are pure splogs as they are commercial in nature, not personal blogs. That was my intention and I make no apologies but I try to put in at least a paragraph's worth of text for each post. But I do research for each new site and I try to not just write the typical webmaster ramble.

Just to clarify, BadWolf's blogs are commercial in nature but he does put some thought into his posts or sales text, if you prefer. They are not the sploggy, in that there is more substance than what you would find on a gallery, pics and a couple lines of text.

I still need to work on my text. My new domain is eroticmusings.com and I'm going to try a much looser writing style to match the title of the site. Lol. If I can get my text length up to about half of yours, Walrus, that would be about right for me.

I've consciously tried to cut my text down by about half.

I'm just joshin' you, Walrus. I wish my posts were that long and that well written!

I know you were...but that really is something I have had to teach myself to do, cut down on the amount of text.

I'll take the bitching....but I do have a category which I generously call something like "Gallery Blogs" and stuff all the crap that gets submitted into that category. On XXX Blog Index, I even have sub-categories with all the niche's.
