Why i Hate MyBlogLog and why i removed it
Mybloglog which helps you to connect With Fellow Readers and owned by yahoo was running on this blog till couple hours back but now i have finally decided to remove it and the reason behind that is , mybloglog takes around 13-16 outbound links/widget which are originally useless for my blog because there is no point in giving these many number of outbound links.
Using this widget i had no control over the friends who added up to my community, how long friends stayed on my website, if i was allowed to remove any friends. This widget just got extra publicity because every blogger copies others and uses this widget on their blog and gives away more backlinks to mybloglog for nothing.
In addition to this their user control panel does not offer anything else other than just some inbound vitors referrar’s , what visitors clicked which are completely unreliable when i cross checked them, because they were not showing even 50% of the real traffic stats , because i feel in 99% cases awstats is more efficient and shows perfect data. The javascripts add up more bad value to the website and non-seo friendly code add another negative point.
After all these drawbacks and no real advantages i have finally removed the mybloglog service from my blog. Let me know how is your experiance with this system.
I’m glad you got rid of it. It makes blogs look a spammy mess, so I personally avoided it for that reason.

This is better that you removed the mybloglog as it was also eating lot of space in the blog and I wasn’t using though
.. Hope u can earn more now by utilizing that space using some affiliates and banners…
