Submit blog to blog directories and increase the traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 02:03:00 +0700

This post explains how to increase your blog traffic by submitting your blog to different kinds of blog directories which rates,provide statistics about your blog and provide free traffic and maximum exposure to your blog.
Submitting your blog to these directories is a very good thing to do particularly if your blog is very new one with low traffic.
These blog directories have high pageranks than your blog(since your blog is a new one with pagerank Zero).So, if someone searches for a particular keyword,there is more possibility for the blog directory to appear in the results than yours.So,by adding your blog to these directories,the visitors enters these directories containing your articles(when they click the article,they enter your site) and also your blog posts will be indexed little faster.So,submitting your blog to these directories will gain you more traffic.
(If your blog is a new one,then put a visitors tracker button in your blog,sothat you will see how many visitors are coming from these directories,from search engines,visitors geolocation,etc).

Here are a few popular visitor tracker websites:

1.Histats(histats.com)
2.Sitemeter(sitemeter.com)
3.Statcounter(Statcounter.com)
So,let me come to the main topic...
Before submitting your blog to these blog directories,my personal suggestion is to create a new email address for this purpose so,your personal emails can't flooded with the emails from the blog directories administrators,etc.)Creating an email is free lol....creat one.

Many of these directories asks you to register before submitting blogs.
There are so many hundreds of blog directories,here is the list of very good popular directories which will send you maximum traffic.

LIST OF POPULAR BLOG DIRECTORIES:

Technorati:Technorati is the largest blog(weblog) directory currently tracking more than 112.8 million blogs.Join technorati and verify your authorship,then you will be provided with detailed statistics regarding your blog,how many blogs are linking to your blog,(they call it 'authority').It is one of the best blog directory and will send tons of triffic if your blog is regularly updated.

Topblogarea:This is another big blog directory which rates and rank the blogs interms of Unique visitors your blog gets.They start the counting from Zero every week, so that even newly submitted blog can have the chance to rank higher in the list.
