The foremost question on the minds of most up and coming bloggers is "Why should I submit my blog to directories?" The answers to this question are quite varied, with some opting to submit to several blog directories at a time, with others failing to see much point in it. What I have learned through extensive research and experience however, is that I get consistently good results when I submit my blog to a few different blog directories a short time after launching them.
What I quickly learned when I submit my blog to blog directories was that I was able to garner backlinks in a fairly short time. This has allowed my websites to be found more easily by the major search engines, which then indexed my sites and caused them to rank higher in search results.
The interesting thing is how much importance search engines place on these links. In most cases, search engines rank pages that have such links higher, since they are generally considered to be more worthy of linking to. it was this realization that allowed me to get favorable results after I submit my blog to a few directories. The directory listings themselves dont actually generate more visitors.
There is a bit of dispute about the proper number of blog directories to submit my blog to. Some people feel that I should submit my blog to as many as hundreds of blog directories, while others feel that this would be pointless.
As is the norm in the industry, it appears that submission to 10 blog directories or even less is sufficient. While most search engines do favor sites with more links, they do not usually consider links originating from a blog directory as important as links that come from actual blog posts or articles.
The question that this all brings up is how do I find blog directories to submit my blog to? I found that a search for "blog directory" got me several leads in this regard. In most cases, the blog directories that can be the most advantageous to you will appear on the top of the page.
I have often run into blog directories that require me to post backlinks or impose certain other requirements. I thought that I would be better off skipping those, as there are certainly many other directories that allow me to submit my blog without complicating matters too much.
Many of the blog directories I tried out were simple to submit content to. I dont even bother with directories that overcomplicated the process, and opted to submit to those that made it easy for me to submit my blog. This gave me more time to work on my content and generate new links that way.
