Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Washington Post Sponsored Blogroll -- Puhleeez

Washington Post Sponsored Blogroll -- Puhleeez

There are -- maybe, tops -- 50 blogs in the whole world that could make a difference to your traffic statistics. The problem is not that your ad partners aren't getting traffic. It's just that most of them have sooo many links that the chances of yours getting clicked is pretty infinitessimal. The examples given on the Washington Post site each have several hundred links.

This is not to say that getting links from blogs is a waste. Most of the time, they confer great link popularity, which in turn, helps your search rankings. However, most blogrolls (I couldn't actually find WP's blogroll on any of the sites mentioned) are in javascript, which is unreadable by the search spiders, and is therefore useless for link pop.

I know this because I have a business which does much the same thing, creating a community feed tool which helps bloggers with their traffic, but the sponsor gets a real, live HTML link. You can see some of these in action for the first sponsor, First Sustainable, at sustainablelog.blogspot.com.
