Grokodile Blog Directory...Cute gator but...

When blogging and trying to build exposure for your blog, you want to be sure you are taking advantage of the concept of a blog directory. By merely joining and listing your blog you increase your ability to reach visitors which can lead to an increased page rank and even that elusive alexa boost. What I noticed first up that I liked about Grokodile was their logo, how could anyone resist this cute little guy:



Then I headed off to enter this blog in their directory for Ohio and for Toledo. It looks like I will be the first blogger from Toledo to be signed up. It was kind of confusing at first using their sign up. I first tried the "verify" button and it gave me an error message. Then I went ahead and filled out the information ignoring that and clicked on to continue. It stated a verification message would be sent. However after five minutes, there was still no verification message. I also don't show up under "blogs" but under business because the category option for personal blogs stated "non-commercial" and I do paid posts here, such as this one which is sponsored by Grokodile so the option that seemed most honest was listing this blog under "Business". The site is new so perhaps they'll work the bugs out, so I do recommend people list their blogs and when I get "verified" I'll update here as to how easy it is to try to edit my category.

UPDATE: As promised, the update. When I went back into "edit/manage" my listing I double checked my email as suggested, while it was correct I changed the category of my blog to "blogs" rather than what I had. Just a few moments ago I did receive the email from Grokodile asking me to verify, which I have done. So, despite a tiny bit of a rocky start? All things appear to be a go and the support from Grokodile gets kudos for stopping by to comment here to assist.
