Top Blog Directories List to Submit Your Blog To

This post is part 3 of the Traffic Action Plan, see part 1 here: -

and part 2 here: -

Submitting Articles For Traffic

This is another “old school” and “un-sexy” method that gets overlooked by most people now for getting traffic to new websites.

One of the most important things to remember when getting new backlinks to a fresh new website to help get it to rank well in the search engine results is to use a VARIETY of backlink building tactics so that the links are not all coming from one source or type of source. Mixing in some blog directory links is an easy way of ensuring this, but you will also discover you actually get visitors from some of these blog directories, as well as the valuable backlinks.

The directories below are specifically fro Blogs, if your site is not a blog then the best way to approach directory submissions is to pick up a simple [and cheap] piece of software that will automate the whole process for you, I’ve recommend taking a look at the one here: -

DirectoryBot

The first three blog directories you should always submit any new blog to are: -

Technorati.com
MyBlogLog.com
BlogCatalog.com

these are high quality authority sites that also have a “community” aspect to them that can end up bringing your blog some highly targeted traffic.

I’ve previously made videos covering how to set up your blog on each of these sites which you can watch here:-

There’s another 20+ Blog directories that are worth taking the time to add your blog to, but I’d recommend doing these 4 or 5 at a time, once a week for a few weeks to stretch out the new links and mak sure the link growth appears more natural to the search engines, how many you do is up to you, and I’ve listed them by “PageRank” to help.

Here’s the other blog directories: -

1. Blogarama.com PR7
2. Blogs.botw.org PR7
3. Bloggernity.com PR7
4. BlogHub.com PR6
5. Bloggapedia.com PR6
