I was just wondering about BlogCatalog vs MyBlogLog debate. Which one would bring more visitors to my blog? I’m currently a member of BlogCatalog only. I do like the features…

I only recently started using that tool which lets you list your usernames at various social bookmarking sites, such as Digg or StumbleUpon. Then it shows a list of items you’ve bookmarked there. Nifty!

The mere fact that you actively participate in the forum, and that, we, the members exchange ideas and opinions and that we help each other, and that we have conflicts sometimes but still return to participate in the community ARE GLARING PROOFS THAT BLOGCATALOG COMMUNITY IS DOING VERY WELL.

Rose you are right, and it is something I should have picked them up on by now.

Actually you should be congratulated for being among what I estimate to be the 0.1% of bloggers who have some kind of terms of service on their blogs.

From what I remember it was not until MyBlogLog were acquired by Yahoo that they had a comprehensive ToS, and it also took Wordpress.com months after launch to have something in place, even though they were indiscriminately banning people.

The nearest Blogcatalog come to having a privacy policy is

* Your e-mail address will not be sold, traded, or shown publicly
* No Solely Commercial or Pornagraphic Material

That appears on the page when you are signing up.

They are using Google Analytics for tracking, so it is hard to say whether they even have access to all the data that is being tracked, or knowledge about it.

I’d rather say that Blogcatalog is an IMPROVED VERSION OF Mybloglog. Since this post has been made, a lot of changes took place at Blogcatalog. With the current innovations introduced at Blogcatalog, I won’t be surprised that Blogcatalog will beat Mybloglog in a few months from now. Mybloglog is getting boring nowadays.

Nice Post Andy. A few days back I had a big fight with Blogcatalog Guys in my blog, when I wrote Blogcatalog is not what it shows. There had been long debates in the "no follow link" issue. You can read them here: http://moredoubts.wordpress.com/2007/06/07/blogcatalog-is-not-what-it-shows/ hope that the information and their comments(Daniel and Tony Berkman)will help you.
