Not sure if you and I are looking at the same page (or maybe our definitions are different) but I count plenty of links to their own blogs. Which is fine - great for traffic. And I don't that bloggers are getting unwanted editorial direction from AOL either. I just think that the traffic reports for AOL blogs are somewhat misleading, without disclosure of the promotional real estate they get for free on the aol welcome screen.
