This is Part 2 of this series. Click here to read Part 1 (MyBlogLog Review) .
BlogCatalog is one of the more popular blog directories on the Internet. It provides features quite similar to MyBlogLog but adds a few additional punches to it!
The BlogCatalog Main Page
Some of the features that go beyond what BlogCatalog provides:
- Social Networking: This is a plus point of BlogCatalog. They have a Discussion Forum (see snapshot below) with a few high level subcategories like Saying Hello, Making Money, Shameless Blog Promotion, Blogging Help.
- Blog Stats: They provides stats on a similar line to MyBlogLog. The one difference being the ranking they provide to your blog. The rank seems to be in direct proportion to the amount of traffic your site receives, though I am yet to confirm this.
- Tagging: The front page captures all the popular tags used across all blogs
- Featured Blog: The front page brings up a featured blog. This is a good way of getting additional traffic diverted to your site if you manage to make it to the front page.

Surprisingly, I didn’t find too many independent reviews of BlogCatalog. The few good ones that I found are listed below:
The 3rd part of this series would be a review of BUMPzee. Following that will be the final part which will try to put together a “matrix-review” of all the three services and where they stand with respect to each other.

I think blogcatalog suck…im serious about it..They tolerate poeple to encourage each one to click each other’s ad which is a violation to other advertising companies like google adsense..They release information about CTR whic is a violation to google thats why some advertisers are backing off from people who are a member of blogcatalog due to this reason. Also the traffic crredit for the blogs submitted by members are creditted to blogcatalog not to the users. I dont see any benefit at all..
