While doing my adgitizing rounds today, I was surprised to see a lot of changes in the blogosphere.
For one, my adgitize tool became obsolete. In the past month, bloggers had been busy improving their layouts and blogs and my located-in-the-top-fold criteria didn’t match some of the blogs listed in my tool anymore. I’m gonna edit it soon.
Another change that I noticed was the emergence of new blogs (although I still wonder if they are just the “repackaged” version of the previous blogs I’ve visited before). In just a month, there’s more blogs to visit and drop and click. Isn’t that exciting?
There’s a lot of ongoing contests right now too. I’m still thinking and scouting around for which to join. Most of those contests require posting some links and I’m not really keen on doing that. Not anymore. Eversince my other PR3 blog got disabled by Blogger (classified as spam blog) for posting a lot of links, I became wary of posting a lot of links.
Anyway, I’m just back from our month long vacation and will have a lot of free time to look into the changing blogosphere in the next few days. For now, I’m just enjoying my bloghopping rounds. I won’t be changing my template, layout, logos and banners despite the changes around me – for now. My focus on the next few days will be on posting.
I missed blogging!!!
You can still post links but you have to be careful ….you need to limit them , and unnecessary links should be tagged with a “no follow”. If you’ve got a lot of links in your sidebar that amount to a 100 or so, of course, Google will suspect it as a link farm and therefore you will be banned and Blogger will identify you as a spam blog.
Another thing is if your page is purely links like a Blogroll page, that would be another suspicion for Google to identify as a spam blog.
Go ahead and join contests ….and place links …but you have to limit them. Of course, you’re not going to post 100 links in one post or in one page….
