Blog Directories - Submit Your Blog

The phrase “build it and they will come” does not apply in the blog world. Once you put together the theme, plug in your plugins and start posting, you may get a trickle of traffic as a result of the WP pinging feature, but this is simply not enough.

Gaining exposure for your blog is essential to getting followers, building a readership, and gaining revenue. Basic link building for blogs begins with listing them in blog directories.

You may try different things to build links to your blog like linkbait, linklove or link swapping but few are as easy to implement as submitting to blog directories - and we all know that good incoming links are essential to a growing blog.

Here are some quality blog directories where you can submit your blog to gain good back links:

1. Best of the Web Blog Search - Their blog directory is very selective and only lists aged and valuable blogs. A link from here is very worthwhile.

2. Blog Hub is another great directory to list your blog. It offers various categories, a new blogs list and much more - and most importantly, a quality link back to your blog.

3. Blogarama has an impressive listing of submitted blogs. The site is well designed and follows the same content categories as many other sites.

4. Blog Search Engine is owned by Performancing’s parent company and is regarded as one of the most selective Blog Directories on the web.

5. Blog Catalog features a vast directory of categories - from academic to writing - while offering the ability to filter by country, language or user.

6. Blog Universe is the perfect place to promote your video or podcast themed blog and comes with an easy to navigate layout. Although the content is limited, it is an all around good directory site worthy of submission.

7. Bloggeries has a clear and easy to follow layout and hase some of the best categories and subcategories around.

8. Bloggapedia combines an eyecatching design, top blogs and newest posts areas and innovative categories.

9. Blogging Fusion has an amazing array of categories. As an added bonus, you can check out their visitor stats.

10. Blog Explosion claims the title of the largest blog promoter on the internet. They boast a vast directory but on the down side do not have direct links. Keep in mind that the listings in the directories can still show up in SERP’s.
