There are loads of blog communities where you can vote for your favourite blogs. I thought i would bring attention to two of the most popular sites - FuelMyBlog and Spicy Page.
Both of these sites work very in a similar way to Digg. You place an image on your blog to vote for your blog like the image to the right.
Fuel My Blog
FuelMyBlog reminds me of those million dollar websites that sprung up a year or so ago - you know the ones where you had to buy an ad on the…
The best thing I ever did to improve my technorati rank on Facibus On Blogging was to enter a writing competition. I know that most of the links are just reciprocal “spreading the love” swaps, but I have more RSS subscribers as a result, and more traffic through to my other blogs.

Im becoming more and more alarmed with the number of advertising networks who are using Alexa to base advertising rates for publishers. For example, Text Link Ads and ReviewMe.
As you know, i have never had any faith in Alexa.
