Blog Directories Are A Great Source Of New Traffic

Writing by Blog Marketing Journal on Saturday, December 29, 2007 Comments (1)

When it comes to marketing your blog there are a ton of places online where you can do that. Blog directories are a great source of traffic and almost all of them are free. Here is a list of blog directories that you can list your blog at for greater exposure:

• Blog Hub
• Blog Explosion
• Blog Catalog
• Bloggernity
• Blog Listing
• Blog Flux
• Best of the Web
• Blog Top List
• Blog Rankings
• Blogarama
• Blog Hop
• LS Blogs
• Technorati
• iBlogBusiness
• Total Blog Directory

That’s a long list of blog directories, I know, but it’s not even all of them. There are plenty more. Some of these charge for listing your blog. Weigh that carefully to ensure it is worth the effort. BOTW (Best of the Web) charges a fee for a listing, but it’s a great source of traffic. Not all directories are so great, though.

Other blog directories require a link back to them in exchange for your listing. Blog Catalog, for instance, does this and gives you a choice on the size of the icons. I don’t recommend the huge banner that shows all your latest visitors. It looks cool for a personal blog, but it really doesn’t look right on a business blog. If you do link to blog that require a link back, use the small icon that simply lists the name of the blog without all of the extra fluff.

No matter how you do it, though, blog marketing isn’t complete without at least a half a dozen blog directory listings.
