Search Engine Optimization is a great way to market your blog. Now I know you can do a search on SEO and get a huge variety of information on what is most important. There is definitely not a shortage of information out there. It’s just doing it that is so tasking. Remember, to have the results you desire or to have something you have never had, like search engine rankings, you must do something you have never done! Search Engine Optimization is fairly simple, just time intensive.
Once your site is optimized, I feel that powerful content and link building are the most powerful tools in SEO. The better your content, and the more of it, the better your chances are of getting listed in the search engines. When I speak of link building, I am referring to the number of sites that link back to you site or blog. One of the best ways to get links on other high ranking websites is to create a profile on that site. So I have compiled a list of 10 blog directories to submit your blog to. Create a profile, add a link back to your website where ever possible. Most sites that allow you to create a profile will have a designated place for you site. So here they are:
- http://www.blogtopsites.com
- http://www.blogtoplist.com
- http://www.topblogarea.com
- http://www.blogratedirectory.com
- http://topofblogs.com
- http://www.bloglines.com
- http://www.mynewblog.net
- http://technorati.com
- http://www.blogarama.com
- http://www.globeofblogs.com
There you have it. This will give you a head start on getting your blog out there and getting some links coming back to your site. Make sure you place your blog in the appropriate category and also have some quality content on your blog.
I know there are many more blog sumbission sites out there on the net. I have provided just a handful. What other submission sites would you recommend?
