I’ve recently been thinking of getting some loans because I need some extra money to pay off some debts. I searched the internet for more information on loans and came across UK Personal Loan Store, a pretty well designed website which offered a lot of information on loans such as personal loans, secured loans and car loans. I was particularly interested in mortgages section because I knew very little about the subject.

I found out that a mortgage is the loan you take from a lender in order to pay for a property. This is evidently one of the best ways to fall into heavy debt so the website recommended that one should hire a reliable mortgage broker who will help to sort out all the best mortgage packages available. I guess using a good mortgage broker is very essential. That’s gotta be something I should keep in mind if I ever need to get involved in mortgages.

Few months back I had written about a fantastic new service started by Text-link-Ads called Reviewme. Though I hadn’t got any opportunity to review any sites through this service but yesterday I received an email in my inbox stating Blogcatalog.com has decided that I should review their site.

Blogcatalog as far as I vaguely remember was bought in January and the new owner has made lot of useful changes to the blog directory. The change can be very well reflected in improved traffic. Blogcatalog traffic has increased from 2000 visitors a day to over 5000. The new site has more powerful search feature and the much needed ranking algorithm. I always like ranking mechanism as it helps to find the best in a short time. Blogcatalog also offers a sponsored category positions for a low as 5$ to 8$. Pretty cheap considering the amount of exposure and traffic you would gain from it. After all, the primary concerns of the site it to give maximum exposure to the bloggers and increase their traffic.

So the next question arises what more improvements can one do to such a popular blog directory? Personally I feel they can increase the number of featured blogs on the front page and perhaps create a section or archive of featured blogs which might contain all the featured blogs till date. Also if they can add a bookmarking featured for all the registered users who can bookmark their favorite blogs and share them with their friends, it would be great.

Still it is surely worth adding your blog to their blog directory. Also I would love to hear comments, suggestions from you all bloggers as to how they can improve their site.
