There are a couple of biggun websites out there that I just don't understand what the value of these pages are. On one hand I do understand the getting your name out there and a wide & varied web presence will generate traffic (however little). But on the other hand, there's only one of me so where do I allocate my personal resources?
Here are the websites I just don't get - someone explain it to me! Remember, this blog is dofollow so feel free to throw in a link for your trouble!
- Squidoo.com - Isn't this just a big affiliate link venue?
- FriendFeed.com - This seems like a lot of redundancy since the people I'm inclined to follow on friendfeed I already follow through their channels that are linked. Make sense?
- Technorati.com - Is this just scrapped content heaven? Is there any value to your Technorati authority?
- Mahalo.com - What is SO much better about this cultivated human powered search engine?

To your comments on Squidoo - yes, but then that's pretty much how I feel about most everything Mr. Meatball Sundae does.
Scuidoo has turned into a spammy site, was a good idea at first. Technorati has gone the same route. TechCrunch is better. Mahalo is a cross between a search engine and wikipedia, without spam or thin affiliate sites. Calacanis is just starting to sell via affiliate links but he is disclosing all so I think he's got it down. White hat SEO takes longer but builds stronger.
Yeah Mike I've heard all about the affiliate links on Mahalo...I'm still a Google girl I guess. I've been checking out TechCrunch more lately... still haven't quite grasped it either LOL
