Where are all the good blogs?

Discussion in 'Solicitations & Announcements' started by teamshop, Jun 4, 2007.

    PR4 blog directory looking for a few good blogs or blog related sites (yes that includes general directories with blog categories). It seems 90% of those submitting to the site don't read the submission guidelines about sites needing to be established blogs or blog related so I am turning to the good folks here at DP.

    Regular submissions are free and includes links to your last 5 posts if you choose to include your RSS feed. To submit go to http://www.superblogdirectory.com/

    I'm just trying to be helpful here, but your site is hanging up when you hit the submit button. It freezes. Good luck..and I'll try again later.

    Did you try submitting an RSS feed with your submission? If so try again without the RSS feed and see if that makes a difference

    btw, two suggestions.
    1) for political blogs, rather than categorizing them as "democrat" and "republican", call them "progressive" and "conservative".
    then you can have "unaligned" as a third category.
    most political bloggers, even if they are aligned with one party or another, would not want to be categorized in this way. They like to think of themselves as independent observers, even when they have strong opinions about one side or the other. (e.g. conservative blogger "right-thinking.com" is fiercely critical of Bush, conservative "instapundit.com" makes a pretence of being neutral and independent, and left-wing blog "dailykos.com" is anti Hillary Clinton). Also, that solves problems with non-american blogs, many of which are closely linked with the US blogging scene.

    2) you need to go ahead and populate your directory with the big blogs. If you want to be an authority on blogs, you gotta do a litte work. the top bloggers won't come to you, because they already have thousands of inbound links, so you need to just put them in there yourself.

    The submit function still isn't working for me. I've tried submitting with and without RSS, regular and reciprocal, and the submit button still doesn't do anything. (as a bonus for this problem, you're getting a recip application from me instead of a regular!)

    IE is saying "error on page".
    When I click the error icon, it says the following

    line:33
    char:1
    error: object required
    code:0
    URL:http://www.superblogdirectory.com/submit.php

    I don't know what that means, but maybe you do. I hope that helps.

    I have as of yet been able to re-create your issue using both Firefox and IE and I have received a bunch of submissions in the past few days so I am at a loss at the moment. Please feel free to PM me your Blog details and I will be happy to add it manually
