In a sign of how popular this blog has become in recent weeks, I have been asked by members of  ebuzzing to promote their new paid service.

The service I believe could become of interest to people who are looking to make a little money online through blogging. Usually I don’t join up to paid posting services, but there was a number of reasons I signed upto ebuzzing.

Firstly, all the links are nofollow. What that means is that you are not passing on pagerank to the target of your advertising. This means you are less likely to be hit by a google penalisation.

It also promises more relevant advertisment opportunities - a lot of other revenue generating postal services were aimed at insurances - and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to write it. It’s based purely on trust.

So, here’s me having a long, hard look at ebuzzing!

As previously stated, the European Directory organises it’s site listings by countries, as opposed to traditional categories. This allows you to find local resources that you can use, rather than resources on the other side of the world. It is also strong for website owners to submit to the listings, for example - the Greece Directory would have a strong listing in Greece.

If you are outside the EU, don’t worry, you can still find useful sites in the World Wide Web part of the directory, any site can also submit their listing there.
