List Of Blog Aggregators - Add Yours Too!

These blog aggregator guys need to start using a hit counter that shows public stats, or lighten up on their very specific recip link requirements. They are asking for valuable SEO help and offering nothing concrete in return.

Yea, I submitted 3 pr4 blogs to a directory last week and added them to my trading script, they came back and said they needed a hardlink to list me, Im not hardlinking my pr4 sites to a fucking pr0 directory

I haven't added my blogs to any of them, are they even giving more than a couple hits?

Thanks, feed is added

Or they can offer some traffic incentives like blogexplosion.com etc etc.

Who are these these blog aggregators?

I would expect not. Most of the feeds they do list are from PR0 porn blogs with no visible sources of traffic.

PR isn't any indication of traffic - one of my PR0 blogs gets far more s.e. traffic, and top 10 google listings, than a PR4 site I have. The only use I've found for the PR4 site is getting new sites indexed faster when it links to them. But I don't know much about seo other than what I picked up from reading on an seo forum for a few hours.

I can't speak for the other aggregator sites but mine is about 50% s.e. and the rest from links/bookmarkers.

The second part (after the hyphen) may well be true. The first sentence is not.

As a rule of thumb, PR is a great way to distinguish between "new site with no traffic to speak of" and "established site with many organic links, which gets and can send at least some traffic." Of course exceptions can exist -- there are PR0 sites with huge traffic, and PR6 sites with almost none. But (huge understatement here) that's not the way to bet.

999 times out of a 1000, a newish PR0 site (especially one that's seeking your link) has effectively zero traffic. Zero PR doesn't prove zero traffic (that's why I suggested these guys use a public hits counter) but if PR is the only data you have, it is, indeed, a very effective indicator that won't often serve you wrong. PR, especially zero PR, is an extremely reliable indication of (zero) traffic. Correlation, not causation, but still a valuable marker.

I'm not talking out my ass here. I've evaluated many tens of thousands of incoming links over the years, and never yet gotten more than a dozen hits a day from a link on a zero PR site. NEVER.

Which never stops any two out of three of these 0PR flash bastards from saying "I've got tons of traffic, I'll be PR4 after the next update, I'm dumping 10k a day of purchased traffic on it, et cetera ad nauseum." Bullshit bullshit bullshit. In theory it could be true, but it never actually is.

I think that too many people put too much weight on PR, and dont know enough about it.

A good way to judge traffic, is with alexa. It is usually about 3 months behind, so that will tell you something right there. No Alexa = newer site. Does not mean no traffic, but it gives you an idea.
