I’ve recently opened a dialog with some of the top blog directories and have had a good response from their maintainers. A common thread which we’ve all dealt with is the evergrowing problem with splogs and faded sites.

On some days, 80% of the sites which are being submitted are not typical splogs but more sites which serve no purpose other than advertising a product or Adsense fodder. Im not adverse to people wanting to make money but do you really think that someone looking for advice really needs to see the same car repair article which has been posted on 200-300 article database sites and re-posted hundreds/thousdands of times on other sites?

Some of the directories have come up with some guidelines to help prevent these types of submissions. And with the new update of our software we were able to increase the quality of our average referral. As I get more info, I’ll post it to the site so that you get an idea as to what the other owners are looking for, but Im pretty sure that if you’re site has been around for a while (six months plus), has good original content and an active author, you’re probably going to get added.
