 Submit Blog to Blog Directories


Technorati Technorati

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 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 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 Top Blogs

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 Mybloggingarea

Another directory that ranks you based on the Votes and the number of unique visitors to your site.

Topblogarea 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 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 Blogroll

I joined this directory only about a week ago. A simple directory that monitors the Votes and unique hits.

Worldtopblogs World Top Blogs

Ranking is by the Votes cast by the visitors to your blog.

Topbloglists Topbloglists
Blogflux Blog Flux

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 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 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 Bloggernity

This has been around for some time and has a large database of blogs.

Bloggernow 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 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 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 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 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.

 1000 Blog, Search Engine and RSS Directories – Free Submission


Have you heard of these advertisements before? "Free submission of your Blog or Website to 1000 Blog Directories or 1000 Search Engine Directories or 1000 RSS Directories. " All you need to do is sign up by providing your name and email address. Others will even ask you your home address and will require a telephone number.

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.

 136 Free Links - Submit to Article Directories Now!


Submitting articles to Article Directories is probably one of the best ways to get links to your blog or website. Getting your articles published on Article Directories will have a big impact on your blog's performance. In fact, several Search Engine Optimizers make it a habit to submit an article to article directories once every week.

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.

To make your submission convenient, I have included a list of links to Article Directories below. Remember the pointers I have mentioned when making an article for submission to article directories. Here's the list, please help yourself.

     Quick Tips To Boost Your SEO


    Quick Tips To Boost Your SEOSearch 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.

     Importance of submitting to Web Directories


    The fundamental difference between a search engine and a web directory is that a search engine spiders the Internet to look for new web pages and then indexes the web links according the relevance it attaches to those links. In a web directory on the other hand, you submit your links manually under a suitable category. Then those links are reviewed by human editors and accepted or rejected according to what they think of your link.

    More and more web directories these days are hiring trained and experienced reviewers who evaluate the submitted links and then put them under the appropriate categories. This tremendously reduced the job of the search engines because any given day, human-reviewed links are far more trustable than the software-reviewed links.

    So how are web directory submissions and search engine rankings related?

    The search engines taking many factors into account while ranking your website. A few of them are:

    • How relevant is the content of your website?
    • How is that content organised?
    • How much relevant content you have?
    • How is the navigation and inter-linking on your website organised?
    • How many relevant outgoing links you have and what anchor texts you have used?
    • How many incoming/inbound links you have from external websites, and how well do those websites rank on various search engines?

    The last point comes into force when you submit your link to various web directories. While submitting your link to a web directory you should be careful about its PageRank. If it its PageRank is healthy then it means the search engines regard it as a “trustable” web directory. Some of the highly ranked web directories are:

    • Open Directory Project/DMOZ - A highly rated web directory that is free. When you submit your website it is reviewed by an impartial volunteer and then, if accepted, included under the appropriate directory.
    • Yahoo! — Yes, it is a directory too. They charge a hefty annual amount (more than $300) but if they accept your website (the payment is not a guarantee of acceptance) it pays great dividends.
    • LookSmart - A general web directory that can make your website visible on its network websites such as MSN, ABOUT.com, Netscape, Inktomi, Info Space and Cnet.

    You can find some more directories by search on Google.

    Why should you submit your website to web directories?

    You may wonder why take all this trouble to submit to web directories when it is better to focus on search engines? Well, first of all the search engines voraciously consume information on these web directories because the links over there are already validated.

    Second, since all the major web directories are well-ranked on various search engines they attract lots of traffic through the search engine result pages. Many people, hard pressed on time, directly go to web directories rather than the search engines because all the websites are listed under appropriate categories and hence it is easier to find the right links there. You can get lots of direct traffic from these web directories. In fact direct traffic from web directories is highly relevant because people click your link under the appropriate category or sub-category.

    Directories are a great way to accumulate valuable links, build credibility and boost your website’s visibility.
