I have proven (and continuing) results with StumbleUpon which is great and I know the benefit of being a commenter on DoFollow blogs but also know the dangers of reducing link weight by accepting outbound links to low quality sources. Wouldn't DoFollow risk just that sort of hit to search engine rankings? You've read my opinion and results with StumbleUpon, now it's time to follow up your comment with results on improvements to your blogs rankings and traffic that can be directly attributed to DoFollow. If you can prove benefits for all parties I might consider jumping on the DoFollow bandwagon. Well, I don’t know how much traffic would improve as Dofollow.

I had to add "Analyse Results & Affiliates" to my daily to-do list too. Just to cut down on the number of times I did it each day. I still can't seem to check only once but I deliberately don't spend too much time doing so and never more than four times a day. Alas with Technorati I'm not seeing much movement. Before I moved to the new domain and Wordpress I had a higher authority then I do now and despite having some wonderful link-throughs from other sites my authority doesn't seem to be rising. I still haven't dug up the time to go over the old links and invite those wonderful people to update their links. Thankfully, I have it set up so that even those pointed to the old blog will get sent here. The strangest thing is that for some reason the old blog updates itself with my new content about a day after this blog does. I've no idea why it does that. It must have something to do with my Blogger settings. I guess it is no big deal but it does make me curious. *chuckles* Technorati can certainly be addictive.

I finally made a daily list with my daily to do list on it, and once "check statcounter" is crossed off, I don't get to do it again until the next day. Except Technorati. That's a bit of a problem. I look there about as often as I breathe - did I make the top 50k yet? How about now? Now? At least there aren't so many analytics involved in that one. You just look and you're done.

I haven't heard of BloggingZoom before. I'll head over to your review and check it out! @ Melissa: I was amazed when I saw your post about StumbleUpon this week, Melissa because I'd been holding this one since Tuesday so I could wrap up the SG1 series before posting it. StumbleUpon traffic is always exciting and it was great to share our experiences. @ Michele: It's great to know you're seeing StumbleUpon results too, Michele. Mine was very slow to begin with but it seems to have boomed this month. My Technorati rank doesn't seem to be doing much. I was doing alright at the old address but despite having a few sites linking to me the authority doesn't seem to be rising. I'm giving it time. I've been stumbling you a lot too so it's wonderful to see it sending traffic your way. @ Jeff: Welcome to the StumbleUpon phenomenon, Jeff. It's an interesting community. There are so many fantastic sites that sometimes it's hard to stop clicking that Stumble button. I could spend hours surfing away through stumbled sites. @ Virginia: You'll love the look of your stats once you get involved with StumbleUpon, Virginia! It's one that truly is worth our time. Other social networking sites can feel like being the needle in a haystack. I know I don't write the kind of content that would get noticed on Digg. StumbleUpon is the kind of place where having what people want to see is the most important thing, not how controversial your topic is. @ Rebecca: Thanks for stopping by, Rebecca! I hope you have some great hits from StumbleUpon. Don't forget to add me as a friend when you check it out! @ Sharon: Thanks for adding me, Sharon! I haven’t heard of BloggingZoom before.
