Hi there

I had no idea mybloglog was in danger of closing i used to use it a lot at first, when I first got into blogging, but I have to admit I dont use it much anymore, i stopped when the last time I was in there I got lots of incoming requests from women with dodgy x rated websites on their profiles lol, so maybe they should take action against some of these people as its defo a put off !

Cool. Thanks for the info. I’ve been using rewritten articles and PLR for a while and these to work well so I’ll guess it’s best to stick with it.

I do hope mybloglog sticks around. It has always been a top 3 blog directory IMO, but always lacked certain community feel that blog catalog can get (with discussions and such)

That is probably some very old articles you read.

3rd party content can work but for money sites I would go with 100% unique

It’s ok. Having had a good dig around you blog I think I’ve now got the idea. Looking at some of your posts you mention that you use article directories to source content for you niche sites. Typically, do you build an entire site using this type of content or do you mix it up with your own articles?

Good stuff to be share. I fear that many of these great FREE services will be shutting shop over the next 12-18 months as any funding they had dries up or the owners / developers move onto other things. Goo, keep going.

I am not sure what is happening, though I know that they have a complicated decision process – I do have my ear to the ground in various places.

Andy, can you clarify? Is MyBlogLog being gone a done deal? Any chance they won’t go away? I consider Blog Catalog and MyBlogLog the two staples among blog directories along with Technorati (in spite of their persistent poor usability).

I have always liked MyBlogLog. It’s not something I rely on for anything and I won’t be particularly sad if it does shut down. However, I have their widget on many of my blogs and would like to see them keep it going. I’ve never really used BlogCatalog for some reason but maybe I will have to start.
