When marketing your blog and seeking traffic, you need to consider a few things like
- Who your blog is targeted at
- What topics you cover in your blog
- How often you blog
- Where you expect the majority of your readers to come from
- Even why you blog
The sources of your blog traffic depends a great deal on some of these factors, but not entirely. It is best to seek traffic some several sources at once. That’s why I highly recommend blog directories. But there is more than one directroy online and all of them can deliver traffic to your blog. The biggest drawback to these directories is that most of them require a reciprocal link. Some of them even require a display ad be placed on your blog. If you put too many of these on your blog then your blog will look cluttered. That’s why you need to carefully consider which blog directories to include your blog in.
Here’s a list of blog directories that you can consider for your marketing efforts:
- Blog Catalog (www.blogcatalog.com)
- Best of the Web (blogs.botw.org/)
- Blogarama (www.blogarama.com)
- Blogdirs (www.blogdirs.com)
- iBlog Business (www.iblogbusiness.com)
- Blog Universe (www.bloguniverse.com)
- Globe of Blogs (www.globeofblogs.com)
These are not the only blog directories online, however. There are plenty more. Blog directories are a great source of traffic. Pick the one(s) that have the most potential for your blog.
