Blog Directory Submission Time
Blogging June 8th, 2007
I have to admit it’s time. I need to submit my blog to the major blog directories. Let’s see if this generates any traffic, if not at least I get a link out of it. I am going to start with the three main blog directories that I am able to submit to because of the age of my blog:
BlogCatalog - It looks like they have some cool tools to increase exposure for your blog and their site too. Very nicely put together. Link love.
EatonWeb - This looks like a nice directory. Link love.
Technorati - Nicely put together as most of you already know. No link love.
In my spare time [ha!] I will be using these tools to help increase viewership of my blog. I have already found some blogs I enjoy through these directories. See, they are already working. If you have not submitted to these directories, you need to get started!

I don’t find that Blog directories work very well for my site. I prefer to focus on SEO.

There are definitely exceptions, Billy. It can be difficult to get any traffic from directories for niche sites if the directory doesn’t have a category that fits your topic well.

You’d be surprised, Billy. Just getting to know people in those communities and sharing some link love with one another is key to getting your blog in front of people. I can’t say enough about BlogCatalog. If they had statistical info like MyBlogLog does, I’d be there 100%.

Hi Chris,
There are tools out there that can help you with the submission. See
Site/Feed Submission Tools and Services.
I use the RSS Submit SEO Edition by K-Soft, which also tracks stats, like Feedburner etc.
Cheers!

my pleasure, that’s what my “pet site” is for. It’s my personal but public “del.icio.us” :)
