Just the name Blog Explosion brings images of increased traffic statistics and excitement to my mind. It is a diverse directory that includes:

• Podcast directory
• Blog tools
• Battle of blogs
• Blog rental
• Plus lots more

Each site is manually reviewed and they promise a decision in 48-72 hours. There seems to be a lot of opportunities to surf other sites . The guidelines must be read carefully. They are strict but fair with their requirements. I applaud them for their attention to detail and concern about quality.
