Importance of Posting Blogs as means of Getting Traffic to your Website
I know only few have the talent to write good articles or blogs. So for those who have, make use of it and for those who thinks they do not have – there’s always room for learning. Making a blog is more simple than making your own website, I use Blogger.com by the way and it’s free. I enjoy making blogs coz that is made out from your own brainstorming, own ideas and own experiences. It is unique from all other blogs – who wants to read and waste time to copied blogs and plagiarists? You can blog about anything you want to write, let’s take for example my blog about Mammothlist check this site: http://onlineprofiter.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-mammothlist.html
I detailed there what possible ways to earn with Mammothlist using resources in the internet, it is unique coz I made it and it is from my experiences. But hey, here’s the catch. No matter how good your article could be if you no one is reading or watching, then that blog will not be able to generate income! Like websites, you need to drive visitors, readers, traffic that will eventually become your leads. Remember Lead = income.
Making blog is easier to promote than your affiliate link/ ref link.. If you post your blog link people will expect it is informative, but if you post something with your affiliate link – who would like to feel being wrecked out of money by clicking your affiliate link? I don’t like the idea too! In forums, posting affiliate links and ref links are called blatant ads, nuisance, spam and eventually your efforts will be wasted because forum moderators erase them and worse is you could be banned. Unless if you put your affiliate links in your signature…but human as we are, we have this selfish, crabby behavior…people know you’d get money when they join your link, so why not just go directly to the real host owner – this terrible thinking by the way. So the best and long lasting way to get traffic is to make a blog and post your blogs anywhere or submit to blog directories as well. Here are blog sites I post my blogs.
I listed 20 popular and quality blog sites. Take time to get to know them and submit your blogs.
1. Blog Hub offers a drop down category and member blog list. With its “new blogger” list and hot topics, Blog Hub is a great directory to list your site.
2.Best of the Web Blog Search La Crem de la Crem, Best of the Web’s Blog Directory is very selective and only lists aged and valuable blogs. A link from here is majestic and well deserved.
3. EatonWeb Blog Directory is a real jewel with many aged inbound links and a blog rating system. You may have to pay a fee for your blog to be reviewed, but like Yahoo, the review fee is well worth the few dollars.
4. Upon visiting Bloggernity, you find a crisp, clean, and easy to navigate site. Scrolling down, you find the new blogs. As there is little advertising on the home page, it is pleasant to the eye of the reader as well.
5. Blogarama has an impressive listing of over 65,000 blogs. The site is well designed and follows
the same content categories as many other sites.
6. One of the most selective Blog Directories on the web (and Wordpress powered), Blog Search Engine is owned by Performancing’s parent company and serves search results powered by IceRocket.
7. Blog Catalog features a vast directory of categories, from academic to writing, while offering the ability to search by country, language, or user. It has a no frills design, but offers convenient member access through simple blog registration.
8. Globe of Blogs has too many features to list. In order to be listed on the site, the blog must not be commercial. The site may appear to be busy, but I like the features of being able to search by title, author, or subject. Narrowing the search becomes easier on this blog.
9. The ultimate directory of British blogs connotes all things British. It is not directed by location, but by the culture! It is asked that bloggers be genuinely “britished.” Being listed in this blog reaches readers all the way across the pond!
10. Blog Universe is the perfect place to promote your video or podcast themed blog. Its layout is easy to navigate. Although the content is limited, it is an all around good directory site worthy of submission.
11. Bigger Blogs is a relatively new blog directory with only a few blogs registered. The blog is intertwined with a business directory. The blog section is difficult to find, and it is located through a link on the right side of the business directory page. However, the benefit is that the earlier you are accepted on a blog directory, the more exposure your blog will obtain. In addition, a back link is indeed a back link, so this can help with your search engine placement.
12. Bloggeries has the best categories and subcategories home page on the internet. The layout is clear and concise, and readers are able to find what they are looking for in a snap!
13. Bloggapedia has an interesting and eye catching homepage. Readers are easily connected to the top blogs and newest posts. Innovative categories and a colorful design make this blog directory a hit.
14. Spillbean is a well-designed blog directory site with categories such as health, society,
internet, and personal. The site is aesthetically pleasing, but there are not many listings yet.
15. Blogging Fusion is a blog with over sixty categories. These categories include photo blogs and family focused blogs. Blogging Fusion has an good amount of blog listings within the directory, and it also has visitor stats available.
16. Blogflux is not only a tool for bloggers, but a directory that has the listings in alphabetic order. The blog listings are organized and clear. It is definitely an effective blog directory in which to be listed.
17. The blogs on the top listings of Bloglisting are fun, colourful, and catch the attention of the reader. Bloglisting displays the page ranking blogs, which is a helpful tool when determining with whom you want to exchange links.
18. Blogio may be a small blog directory with few listings, but it worthy of a submission. Despite its small size, there are quality blogs and a solid ability to search on this site.
19. Blog Explosion claims to be the largest blog promoter on the internet. They have a vast directory but do not seem to have direct links. However, the listing in the directory can still show up in SERP’s, so keep this in mind.
20. Super Blog Directory is a great site that offers tools to posters that others do not. You can see the latest submitted links and blogs on the site, which is a perk that draws traffic into the directory.
The above listings are a glimpse inside the large and vast world of blog directories and the valuable inbound links that your can build for your blog and your business.
There are countless more directories at your disposal, which are always just a Google, Yahoo, Live or Ask.com search away.
