I was asked the other day to check out and give my two cents about 23Blogs.com - FREE Blog Roll TEXT Link Exchange.(1:10). Being on the outside in and giving a decent critique on something isn't possible, so I took the time of actually registering and installing the code on the site here...it's just above my MyBlogLog widget displayed on the right.
One of the biggest problems I hate about web services is having to 'reply' to an email to authenticate, something I didn't have to do with 23Blogs.com. Their authentication uses a standard 'CAPTCHA' process, and I was in like Flint. Registration took less than three minutes, and the code was installed after choosing within sixty seconds.
The idea behind 23Blogs.com is if your viewers click on a link in the widget, you get 10 points for your blog to be placed on the same amount of page views of other blogs having the widget. In essence your viewers interested in other blogs in the widget get you seen in other blogs. The links created go through 23Blogs.com, and you can see your referring them and to who by doing a mouseover. Everything's done through Java, so this is about traffic, NOT PAGE RANK! Page Rank will NOT be received through using this from what I'm seeing.
In the next few days I'll see how much comes through while monitoring my inbound link stats. Overall due to the ease of registration, installation, and not being page heavy on loads...I'd have to at first look give 23Blogs.com a high score compared to it's competition.
Let's see how they do in the long run.
