Promote Your Blog or Website in Web Directories

Monday, 22 January 2007

Another method for promoting your blog is to use web directories. It’s simple, easy and best of all it’s FREE. Examples of web directories are V7N Web Directory, BlogFlux Directory, 2-Review, TopBlogArea.com, BlogRankings, etc. If you do a Google PR check on these directories, some of it actually has quite a good ranking. The higher PR the better and in this case, PR6 might get your new site indexed in Google in 24 hours.

On my previous post, I mentioned that blog promotion or advertising is in fact utterly important and is an ongoing process. Get used to it and learn to love it. Apart from dropping messages everywhere you go, you can also add your blog into a blog directory. There are in fact countless of blog directories available on the Internet. Some are quite new and some are very established. For new ones, you might be able to dominate the top ten spot. Established directories on the other hand, require some time and of course plenty of traffic to get you a good spot.

To add your blog to a directory simply head to the website and pick a category. Once you have chosen the appropriate category click on ‘add your link’ or ‘add your blog’. Complete the registration process and you’re done! Don’t worry about things like getting your email sold or the blog directory will in fact spam your email because so far I didn’t have any of those problems and I’m actually listed in quite a number of directories. Of course, choose your directories wisely and if you don’t like pornographic websites appearing next to yours, then I suggest pick another directory.

Here are some links to the directories that you can use:

V7N - http://directory.v7n.com - at the moment accepts paid listings only
BlogFlux - http://dir.blogflux.com
2-Review - http://www.2-review.com
