Blogsoldiers, Blogcatalog and others
- 2 Comment
So I have been attempting to get new eyes on the Financial web site, by resurrecting my Blogsoldiers account, and joining various “chain letters” on linking, but I am not too sure this will really bear (bare?) too much fruit.
Blogsoldiers is yet another site where if you “surf” the sites that are their, others will do the same for your site. When I started out about 3 years ago, I thought these sites were great for creating traffic, but at the end of it the traffic is artificial and my bet is, the number of new readers you get are about 0.1% of viewers from those type of sites.
You saw the chain posting yesterday for Blogcatalog, to help boost Technorati ratings, which is interesting, although it was more interesting to look at the HTML from the list. I copied it directly from the site in question, but then looked at the HTML and saw a _base_ref=”foo/foo” reference for every single one of the listings. I am still researching what that would do in an HREF html clause, but I suspect it would drive traffic to foo/foo, which I think is dirty pool, but that is my opinion.
Canadian Capitalist has put up a list of new Canadian Money Blogs, which I think is really good “paying it forward” by him, as he seems to be progressing well in his goals, so good on him!
