that they expect me to put a link in my blog sidebar for their directory, and all I get from them is a single link buried in their site
The issue with this is that they are actually getting a link back to their site from every page on my site, and I only get one link back from their site.....and I could end up with 1000 pages on my blog, and they get 1000 links back, and I still only get one single link back from their site
blogs are a different breed from other sites that are submitted...a free site gives one link back and the link list gives one links back...etc etc
I could go in and change up each theme page on my blog and only allow that categories links on my main page, which I am considering, but still, the common thing going right now is that directories gets hundreds of links back from blogs and they only give us one link back
So, from now on I am setting up each blog with a page like this -
http://www.constantbabes.com/blog-directories/ - and if the directory won't take this as a form of linking back, then oh well, I can deal without their 10 hits a day
