Weekly Fix #6: accept negative comments, forget directories

Hopefully you guys have enjoyed the first part of our series on traffic tools. There are a couple more traffic trackers still to be reviewed, so hang on if you’re a blogger still deciding which one to use.

We, the owners of Blogging Addiction, have several other blogs in non-related niches. Each site has its own unique formula for success. This much we can tell you, not all blogs are monetized equally.

Directories aren’t nearly as valuable as you’d think. With the wide variety of link-building options out there, there are a lot better options. Not only do many directories require a link, but The Blog Entrepreneur points out that many directories are nofollow.

That’s that for today. Keep Stumbling, it looks like Blogging Addiction is starting to pick up the pace!
