Comments on: Bloggers Getting Jitters Over Google’s Take On Blog Directories http://blogmarketingjournal.com/2008/10/04/googles-blog-directories/ Sat, 21 Mar 2009 21:44:44 +0000 hourly 1 By: Aoi http://blogmarketingjournal.com/2008/10/04/googles-blog-directories/comment-page-1/#comment-7015 Aoi Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:44:34 +0000 http://blogmarketingjournal.com/?p=525#comment-7015 Is this another Google algorithm tweak, or a policy shift, or a strategic move against Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc.? Who knows? We all see sudden shifts in traffic from Google, and sites with good content and strong links (almost) always bounce back, and often gain presence. What most people don't appreciate about serious blogging is the work that goes into presenting and marketing the blog, not just the work that goes into creating the content. Many good reminders here of the latter. Is this another Google algorithm tweak, or a policy shift, or a strategic move against Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc.? Who knows?

Perhaps some directories will give more PR boost than others if traffic is coming from them.
