    [...] I was reading 99 Ways to Promote Your Blog for Free and liking the suggestions. Perhaps it would be fun to promote a little extra traffic to the site. I despise watching websites get overloaded with Javascript widgets and gizmos. However, I am guilty of doing that to Reality Me. It is bogged down with useless, behind the scenes Javascript. My list of round tuits includes cleaning up Reality Me and Domestic Psychology. Things like RobotReplay and PhpMyVisites are no longer of use to me but they remain behind the scenes slowing the site down. The Twitter widget and the MyBlogLog widget I find enhancing to the functionality of the site. I see Google Analytics as a necessary evil and I still debate the value of Adsense on a blog such as Reality Me (although apparent it protects - Can someone help me find that citation? I think Michael Silence carried it a while back. Some law was passed saying that if you run ads on your website you are protected the same was as traditional journalists.). [...]

    I have to wonder about BlogRush. While it certainly has gotten a lot of attention in the last week, I am not convinced that it will help people actually promote their blogs unless they already get 1000’s of pages views a day. Not to mention it seems to have it problems already with spam blogs and people cheating the system. People might be better off doing the other items you mention in link building than using BlogRush, but I guess time will tell.

    I guess I don’t see it the same way as you (and that’s fine). There are a lot of blog networks out there that all link to each other, and many bloggers have more than one project. I think if the links are relevant than it’s ok. If I’m a regular reader of a particular blogger I would like to know if he or she has other blogs, so why not provide a link?

    Nice list, thanks for sharing.

    “Good content” + “connections” is the key in my experience.

    You need the content to keep people coming back but you definately need connections for the first launch.

    It’s not easy anymore to get to the first page on Digg. And as it gets popular “lighter” stories start to dominate.
    So digg like sites with niches become the next destination
    N4G.com is great for game news
    BizHeat.com for Business news
    Y Combinator for Tech news
    etc.
