I need to check my links more often

[BadWolf]

It's sad how many directories have bitten the dust.

I was wondering if there's an easy way to find your link in a link directory that you've signed up for a link trade. I mean your link doesn't stay on the same page all the time right?

Your link goes deeper and deeper

Check your stats, if the directory is sending you no traffic why do you want to belong to it?

Well, there you go. That's one reason I was checking directories, to see where or how deep my blog was listed. Now that I have my own directories it's really not necessary for me to keep links on my blogs for directories where I'm listed on page eleven.

I was shocked when I had to delete 2/3 of those 60-100 directories and LLs on my older blogs. They no longer linked to me, not even from the page of two hundred fifty two.

do outward links really hurt that much or are you replacing them with new dirs? links count as text too

I've been re-organising my blog directory and scanning links, have deleted probably a hundred so far, some just missing, many removed recips or redirect to spam.

yeah, thats one of the reasons why i do check my directory links on my blogs as much as i should, i'm often seeing people looking for a directory arriving at my blogs instead.

What I'm doing, slowly but surely, is building my own sites to replace every website that I would use concerning building a blog network. Atm I have a small blog directory network of my own so I don't have to submit my blogs elsewhere. Next will be building some link dumps, toplists.......maybe social bookmarking sites. The idea being I give away as little traffic as possible......and of course I have much more control over my own traffic.

So short answer, yes, I'm putting my own directory links on my blogs to replace the ones that aren't sending traffic.

About 6 weeks ago I posted about this but this post reminded me I should probably bring it up again. My host, at the time, had a major meltdown of their MYSQL server. The meltdown must have been slow but even all the backup copies, mine and theirs were corrupted. I lost most of my oldest and most productive sites including XXX Blog Index, XXX Blog Maniac and Porn Blog Surfer. In fact it seems I find something else thats gone each week.

My sites aren't gone, they are just hidden for a little while . They will return! In fact XXX Blog Maniac is all new about 75% complete with a new concept. XXX Blog Index is in the design stage and should be back up shortly. Porn Blog Surfer will follow after.

I just want people to realize I haven't dissappeared and that I am making my comeback.
