Submit Blog to Blog Directories
They supposedly track 75.2 million blogs. Quite naturally, you would want your blog to be one of them. Register with them and submit your blog. Follow their instructions to claim your blog. They will provide you with statistics like the number of blogs that link to you. You can also invite other members to favorite your blog.
Wikablog
If you are familiar with Wikipedia, this is the equivalent for blogs. It faces the same problems as Wikipedia i.e., while it is easy to list your blog, it is equally easy for others to edit your listing. Nevertheless, for a new blogger, this is one of the fastest way to have your blog appear in a directory. [Update: This site has been down for quite a while and link is therefore removed.]
Fuel My Blog
This is an interesting directory. Unlike the usual text-based blog directories, this site goes by images that you create to represent your blog. When your visitors click a link on your site that says Fuel My Blog!, your image will move up the ranks and appear on the front page, making it more visible to directory viewers.
Blogtoplist
A blog directory listing that is sorted by the number of unique visitors to your blog. Your visitors can also cast a Vote to increase your ranking. The scores are reset every week to allow new bloggers like us a chance to be placed among the top.
Topblogsites
Here, you are ranked by unique hits based on the Votes you receive from your visitors. Many of the comments posted on the directory site are spam comments, and if you can disable comments, you might want to do that. [Update: This site has been down for quite a while and link is therefore removed.]
Mybloggingarea
Another directory that ranks you based on the Votes and the number of unique visitors to your site.
Topblogarea
A blog directory that tracks unique visitors. Unlike the earlier ones, visitors do not vote at this directory.
Blogflare
This is a simple, nice blog directory that tracks your unique visitors and pageviews. [Update: This site has been down for quite a while and link is therefore removed.]
Topblogging
Here, you are ranked based on unique visitors. Although there is a count for votes in, somehow the code provided by them did not track this vote count.
Blogroll
I joined this directory only about a week ago. A simple directory that monitors the Votes and unique hits.
Worldtopblogs
Ranking is by the Votes cast by the visitors to your blog.
Topbloglists
Blogflux
Other than a blog directory, the site also provides you with tools and utilities like a pinger form which can submit your feed to several websites.
Blogsearch
Serves its purpose as a blog directory well. You can list your blog in 3 different categories to maximize the exposure to visitors.
Bloghub
A fine blog directory which allows visitor ratings.
Findingblogs
This is not a big directory and hence navigation is easy and fast. [Update: Site is inaccessible and link is therefore removed.]
Bloggernity
This has been around for some time and has a large database of blogs.
Bloggernow
Almost the same layout as Bloggernity but this carries a much smaller collection of blogs.
Weblog-index
Simple and easy to navigate blog directory.
5starblogs
I wonder why some blogs have screenshots while many others don't. Anyway, this is a free directory you can consider listing your blog in.
Getblogs
I like this directory, mainly due to the sleek design and quick search speed.
Blogtree
Rather interesting to provide a blog genealogy. For some time, the site exceeded its bandwidth and access was cut. The administrator supposedly switched to a new server host and the site seems to be working very fine now. [Update: This site has been down for quite a while and link is therefore removed.]
eBlogzilla
Such an interesting name for a blog directory. Approval for listing didn't take long.
Search4Blogs
The site is filled with too many advertisements, and the blog directory is a mere secondary aspect of it. Not to my liking, but it is a blog directory nevertheless.
Bloggerforum
If you are new to blogging, joining such a forum is a great way to assimilate into the blogging community. You can also submit your blog for inclusion into their hotlinks.
BloggerTalk
This is another forum for bloggers, but less active. They have a blog directory as well, although don't bang on it that your blog will be included.
LSblogs

Importance when submitting to web
What is Seo ?
What is seo? Seo is all about helping the search engines to crawl your site better and give them the best of your site. This requires a lot of things to be done. We will try to post some of the valuable search engine optimization information here.Blogs and websites get success by achieving a huge traffic. So how do we actually get traffic? For this there are many factors to it. We will try to put up some of the factors here:
1) google page rank, higher the page rank the better it is. Page rank starts from 0 and goes to 10. page rank 4-6 should be considered decent. Google pagerank is found in the google toolbar. Though it is not all that accurate, so perhaps checking the pr from data centers are a better idea.
2) Backlinks are important, but geting backlinka involves a lot of work.
3) Unique content and fresh content.
If you get backlinks and fresh content, google page rank will go up, so let’s talk about the backlinks first. These are a few methods to get backlinks,
1) Article submission : it is one of the easiest ways to get backlinks. Just write a quality article, and submit it to as many article submission websites as you can. And add your website’s link in the article. This is how you get easy and free backlinks. Remember to check the page rank, as higher page rank article submission sites, are the best to get some quality backlinks. Remember this is contextual links, so this traffic is absolutely targeted, so it is adviced to write articles of the same category as the link in it.
2) Directory submission : I don’t recommend the free directories, as there are too many links. If you go for the free directories, then don't submit all in one day, do it slowly so that the search engines don't detect a lot of links at once! Too many links are link farms and it can get your site blacklisted by google and other search engines. Try the paid directories, must be pr3+ else it is pretty much waste of time. Some of my favorites are alive, aviva, v7n, gii etc!
3) Link exchange : this is another free method, but don’t do this too much. Find high pagerank websites, that are of the same category of your website. Then do link exchange with them. Do this with caution, and remember not to have more than 5% of your incomming links from link exchange, else it will hurt the rankings.
4) Buy links : well, one of the most easiest ways of getting quality backlink is buying links. You need to be careful to buy link, try getting links from pr4+ sites and get it from the home page. This is the best way, as you get quality one sided links. But then matt's recent blogs are a bit against it, so perhaps doing this safely will be a lot better. Don't put paid links or sponsored links in your sites. Do not actively sell or buy links.
You must optimize your keywords also. So for that, whenever you buy links or do link exchange, use your most important keyword to hiperlink your URL. This way your keywords importance in the search engines will increase. This is known as anchor text optimization. It is the best Seo technique.
Meta tags are very important, keep proper Meta tags in the head of your web site, following Meta tags much be present in your pages if you want to get higher rank and better traffic from the search engines:
1) keywords = must be around 120-150 characters long. 50% of your keywords and key phrases must be on your web site’s content, else it will be considered as keyword spamming. This is not the most important meta tags, these days search engines are more or less ignoring the keywords, so am repeating, that please don’t put up keywords that are not part of your page’s content.
2) Description: this is a very important Meta tags, when the site’s don’t have much contents, the meta description is used by the search engines to determine what type of site it is. This one must be around 150-175 characters, not more than that.
3) Title : this is the most important Meta tag. Title is the main reason why a site dose good in search engines and why a site dose not. A title tag must not be more than 50-60 characters. Try not putting up anything other than text in the title’s field. Also it is very important to put up your most important keyword in the title. Avoid special symbols, and if you want to put two keywords or key phrases in the title use this symbol “ ” between them.
These little things make huge difference for your search engine rankings and search engine traffic. Seo is all about helping the search engines, not finding way to cheat it. Try making nice websites, so that you visitors like them, and come back whenever they want more information.
Then next point is unique content and fresh content. These are two things that are very much necessary to make a successful site. You need quality unique content, and then you need to add these contents everyday. You can bring search engines crawlers by a lot of methods, but then only if you have quality unique content then your site will have better position in the search engines. High page rank and lot’s more depends on the content. So start writing and write, as often you want. Perhaps this is one of the major reasons that blogs works better than most websites.
If you are on the blogger try the feeds. Feeds are one of the best way to bring more people to read your content. The rss and xml feeds are pretty common these days. Blogger feeds are atom.xml and it works great. Use feedburner.com to get the most out of your feeds. Just get a free account there, add your site's feed in the feed burner, after that make some add to "my google" and "my yahoo" buttons, that's it! just add those buttons on your site, easy!
Social networking is one of the best ways to drive a huge traffic to your websites or blogs, but then it dosenot really help to much from the seo point of view, as the nofollow tags are available with the link on those sites. But then am getting over a few thousand hits from the social network sites, so it is worth a try, most of all, it is all free!
del.icio.us, stumbleupon, digg, furl etc are a few of these!
A quick link building tips :
Start giving comments on blogs, there are some of the famous blogs with huge pr, and traffic, though the nofollow tags might be there, but then it is still good to go for a try. Just add a link with the comment!
Forum signatures are a nice way to make traffic, good for backlinks.

1000 Blog, Search Engine and RSS Directories – Free Submission
Because you are new to blogging, and that you have heard from other bloggers that you should submit your blog to different directories to improve your traffic, you applied for the free submission without giving a second thought. Worse, you gave your real name, your real address, email address and your mobile phone.
After you submitted your blog from a website that promises your blog to be included to 1000 Blog, Search Engine or RSS Directories, you've waited expecting that your blog's traffic will increase. After a week or so you've found out that your email has been receiving tons of spams and junk mails. From time to time, you've been receiving anonymous calls from companies promoting their products and services. And all of a sudden, your mailbox is full of letters much of which is advertisement. Did you ask for it? Sure you did but you weren't aware of it. In the end, your mails and incoming calls have increased but the traffic to your blog did not. Very sad, isn't it?
The best words to describe your situation... 'YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! '.
Is it possible that these websites can submit my Blog to 1000 Directories?
SURE IT IS POSSIBLE… but they need to do it manually. However, with the thousands of requests they receive everyday, do you think they can do it? "But they said they have an effective software program that will submit my blog to 1000 Directories." Come on, no one will advertise a product saying that it will not work. Scammers are known to promise spectacular benefits but they never really exist.
Why is it impossible to submit your URL to 1000 Directories using a software program?
Let me answer this question by looking at the submission process itself. Firstly, the submission process to blog directories, RSS directories or search engine directories, varies from one to another. And with the large number of directories imagine how broad the variance is. With this alone, it would be impossible to create a program that allows you to submit a URL to all these directories given the variances in the submission process. Secondly, when you register to a certain directory, you are required to provide
1. Title for your Blog
2. Description for your Blog
3. Other directories might require you to provide Keywords or Keyphrases associated to your blog. (Software cannot do these.)
Lastly, most registrations to directories these days require you to verify your registration by entering a random variable to make sure that your registration is done by a human not a robot or software program. See? Even directories do not like automated registration. Certainly, all these reasons make it impossible for anyone to create a program that to accommodate such complex procedure.
Assuming without conceding that these programs work, it is not still advisable that you avail of it. Robots or software programs cannot think on their own so they cannot choose the best category for your blog, they cannot give a comprehensive description of your blog and lastly, these programs cannot help in the optimization of blog. It will infact do more harm to your blog than you think.
The Only Best Alternative
I'm sorry but the only best alternative is for you to register your blog manually. This means, you need to spend time to do it but only through this way will you be able to fully maximize the benefits of getting your blog registered to different directories. To make your registration process easier, here are the links to major directories. You just need to click on the link and register. Have fun.

SOURCE OF LINKS: RSS-Specification
136 Free Links - Submit to Article Directories Now!
What benefits do you get from submitting articles to Article Directories?
1. LINKS.
Most article directories have good page ranking so getting links from them is definitely worth your time.
2. Get MORE LINKS
Articles submitted to article directories are usually free to be republished on other blogs or websites. To do this however, bloggers who will republish your article need to include the link to your profile. As this happens, links to your blog increases.
3. INCREASE TRAFFIC
Submitting articles to Article Directories is a good way to reach a wider audience. One of the articles I have submitted to Article Directories was an article about Blogging Mix. In the same article, I have talked about what Blogging Mix is all about and what people can expect from BloggingMix.com. After my article was submitted and was approved by the Article Directories, I have noticed an increase in the number of links to my blog and a considerable rise in my traffic.
I'm sure that the three benefits mentioned above are enough motivation for you to make your own article and submit it to Article Directories. Here's a list of reminders to keep in mind when making an article to submit in article directories.
1. Always think of your readers. Remember that most people will read your article looking for something beneficial to them. Why would they read your article if there's nothing in it for them?
2. Make it valuable and worthwhile. To make your article valuable, you should give useful and helpful information to your readers. Once your readers find out that your article is valuable, they'll be more than glad to share it to their friends, link to your post or republish it on their blogs.
3. Keep your article short and simple. Making a long post is discouraging to most people. According to studies, people tend to skip or scan long articles but will most likely read the shorter ones. I advice you to use at most 1000 words when you make an article for submission to article directories.
4. Write clearly. Use simple words and avoid perplex or compounded sentences. Remember that you have to send a message across to your readers and not to confuse them.
5. Write about topics related to your blog. When you submit articles to Article Directories, do not write something not related to your blog. Remember that your article serves as a window to your blog. It should give your readers an idea of what to expect when they check to your blog. You should also submit articles that are related to your blog to earn authority. Concentrating your topic on a certain area of knowledge will be an easier way to gain authority than blogging about every possible 'bloggable' topic.
6. Use your keywords and keyphrases in your article. Keywords and keyphrases should be used without impeding clarity.
7. Create links to your post strategically. Some article directories allow you to have more than 5 links, take advantage of it and link to your posts. You can also decide to link to your posts at the end of the article as a related post.
8. Remember to proof read your article before you submit it. An article submitted that is full of grammatical errors and misspelled words is usually rejected by directories. Carefully check your article before submission. Bear in mind that they serve as a representatives of your blog. If the article you have submitted is useful, readers will be tempted to read some more. They will then visit your blog through the links you've provided.

Quick Tips To Boost Your SEO
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is an activity you can definitely not put in the back burners. The moment you have your website up and running you should start focusing on your SEO efforts and in fact, on-page SEO should always dominate your thinking even when you are designing and developing your website. Here are a few quick tips to give a boost to your SEO efforts and fetch you quality traffic from the search engines: Have great content
Your website content is the foremost element that affects your search engine rankings once the search engines start noticing your website. After all people come to your website to consume content, in whatever form it exists. Have quality content on your website and have plenty of it.
Do proper keyword research before developing your content
It helps you generate better content if you know what keywords you want to focus on. If after generating scores, or worse, hundreds of pages, you realise that you haven’t optimised your content for the right keywords you’ll need a major revamp, incurring you lots of expense, effort, and of course business loss. There are lots of free and commercial research tools available on the Internet that you can use to find the right keywords for your website.
Create SEO-friendly URLs
http://www.yourdomain.com/your-keywords-here.html is an SEO-friendly URL but http://www.yourdomain.com/page2.html is not. Although it is not necessary — it does help sometimes — to have your keywords in your domain name, the search engines do look for your keywords in your URL. Also, some people don’t insert their own anchor text and post your hyperlinked URL as it is, so even in that case your keywords automatically appear as the anchor text of an inbound link.
Use proper anchor texts in internal linking
Internal linking is very important because it creates a web of links under your domain and when the bots visit your website there is a less chance of any link being left uncrawled. Use your keywords and key phrases as anchor texts so the search engines know, one, that these keywords are important to warrant a dedicated link, and two, what is the context of the pages they are leading to.
Blog regularly
Blogging is not just an activity these days, it’s a necessity. It helps you build a dedicated community around your field. From an SEO point of view, most blog posts, if well-written, are very quickly indexed by the search engines. If you stick to your niche and write regularly, you soon begin to rank higher for your keywords. Once your blog is ranked higher, your business link on your blog too will get the benefit of being linked by a highly ranked website
Get links from other websites
Do not just depend on the search engines to get traffic: include other websites in your SEO strategy too. This will not only send you quality traffic from those websites, it’ll also give you an SEO boost, provided those websites are “respected” by the search engines. Make sure the incoming links from these websites carry your keywords as anchor text. Also try to see that all incoming links are voluntary, that they are there due to the overall quality of your content.
Commit yourself and be patient
SEO is a long drawn battle if you haven’t got hundreds of thousands of bucks to spend on it. It’s a slow process and the more attention you pay to the smaller things, the better are your chances of getting ranked higher by the search engines.Submit to online directories To Boost Your SEO
Submitting to online directories is a great way to boost your SEO because most of these directories — some standard one, not all — are respected by the search engines in their respective fields. In June this year I wrote about how important it is to submit your website to online directories. Online directories like Yahoo! and DMOZ are human-edited directories and hence websites included in these directories are considered thoroughly validated by the search engines.
Use your keywords in the heading tags
Some SEO experts these days attach less importance to heading tags because there are many who exploit them, but I think they are the best of way of summing your web page content both to the readers and the search engines. The keywords in the heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) tell the search engines that these keywords really matter to your web page and hence this web page should be ranked higher for these keywords.
Use Your Keywords in the Page Title
Actually this is one of the most important things you can do to boost your SEO. Many websites I have seen appear on the first page of the SERPs (search engine result pages) simply because they have the right keywords in their page titles. The keywords in your page title tell the search engines exactly what that particular page contains.
Keep Your Documents Updated
The search engines love new content. The more you add, the more you modify, with greater frequency they crawl your website. Continuously keep adding newer pages to your website and keep updating the existing pages. This not only gives the search engines more pages to index it also conveys to them that yours is a highly active, and evolving website.
Maintain a Sitemap
A sitemap is a page containing links to all your major sections and pages. It’s kind of a linking roadmap that tells both your human visitors and the search engine crawlers what all is there on your website. In fact a sitemap saves the search engine crawlers lots of time because very quickly they can access all your links. On a second thought, why do you want to help the search engine crawlers save time? This is because they allocate only a certain amount of crawling time to a website and within that time if they cannot index your important pages you lose some great opportunities of appearing on the search engine result pages.
Keep Your Markup Clean
Clean, error-free source code makes it easier for the search engines to go through your web pages. Use the W3C Markup Validation Service to make sure that your markup complies with the latest web design standards. A website with clean markup loads fast, it is mostly accessible to all the standard browsers, and doesn’t create hurdles for the crawlers
So these are a few tips for the time being and I’m sure that in future I’ll be sharing with you guys/girls some more quick tips to boost your SEO.
