subject: How To Submit Your Blog To Directories [print this page] One great way to give your blog more traffic is to submit your blog to directories. By doing so, you increase the amount of one-way links to your blog. This in turn means much more traffic to your site which means more cash.
This is a step-by-step guide, which, when implemented, will guarantee that your blog will have a higher profile.
1. There are many ways to submit your blog to a directory. One of the easiest is to run a search engine search by typing in "blog directory". When you have done so, you will find a complete list of directories. You can then pick and choose which ones to submit to at your own leisure.
2. An excellent website to submit your blog to is masternewmedia. If your blog has an RSS feed you can go to masternewmedia. This will give you a list of top, tested, directories which offer RSS services.
3. However, the above are just examples of general directories. Ideally, your blog should be targeted at a particular niche.
Let's take an example. You have just posted a topic on how to write your own book and you want to link your blog to directories which cater for that topic. Simply type into Google, or any search engine, "submit link" "write your own book" "add link" "write your own book".
This includes both keywords words used by directories - 'submit' and 'add'. A long list of websites and directories will pop up looking for links on that topic. Just pick and choose which ones you want to include.
This has many advantages. Not only are you getting your blog included in certain niche directories but you will also be added to many websites. As these links are one way, you will not be losing any traffic as you would be if were posting reciprocal links on your blog.
4. There is one rule to remember when you are submitting your blog to directories. Search engines don't like to see a massive amount of links to your blog being generated over night. They prefer a more natural, organic approach in which links are created over a period of time. Ideally, what should happen is that you should submit your blog to a couple directories every day and slowly add to more as time progresses. A good piece of advice would be to write down which websites and directories you have linked to so that you don't commit 'link overkill'.
If you use the above as a guide you will have no difficulty in submitting your blog to directories. What's more if you are careful when adding links to websites and directories you will steadily see your blog's profile improve in the search engines' rankings. Ideally, you should be looking at a niche market and submitting to niche directories to get more traffic. Not only that, you will be getting qualified traffic when you do.
This means that you will have an audience interested in your blog. Patience is critical in building up your blog's profile. However, it doesn't have to take ages. Follow these steps and you will be well on your way to having a high profile blog.
