Rose,

It isn't really necessary to quote my own post to me on the page I wrote it. I know exactly what I said.

You keep saying "it's a clone". But the simple fact is that it is only a clone in your mind because you so desperately want it to be. Simply repeating yourself again and again, not only won't make it so, but won't convince anyone who's already heard you say it. So unless you have something new to say...

Yes, of course, most site experience growth and traffic increases by copying other sites. C'mon Rose, you know better than that if you put your emotional investment aside for a moment.

The only thing that the post at ns4w.org demonstrates is that the person posting there does not fully understand advertising. A lot of people put up a lot of ads and see returns and a lot of other people put up ads in the same places and don't. I know that I receive quite a bit of traffic from my BlogCatalog listing and I haven't paid a dime for it.

In the moredoubts post, you are again grasping at straws. Look at the source code and you will instantly see that BC links are indexable, followable and track able, unlike links in your own directory which ARE redirects and do not give PR or link pop.
I can't help it if people commenting on the post don't understand what they are seeing or what they are saying.

The only thing on the page that refers to similarities between BC and MBL is talking about the widgets on blogs, which the members skin to fit their blogs. It kind of makes sense they would appear similar, huh?

I never said they were a highly sensitive group of new age counselors. I said they were running a highly evolved directory. And they are. If you can't see that, it's because you have chosen not to.

You keep saying you have nothing more to say, but then you come back and repeat yourself. You are welcome to express you opinion, but if you do so on my blogs prepare to see it challenged.
