One of the most common concerns of most bloggers is answering the question "What benefits will I gain when I submit my blog to blog directories?" Some bloggers will actually submit their blogs to dozens of directories or even more, while others feel that this wouldnt be of much use. 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. The result was that my websites became more "attractive" to search engines, which indexed them more readily and in turn caused them to achieve a higher ranking in search engine results pages.
The interesting thing is how much importance search engines place on these links. All things being equal, search engines place a higher value on pages that have more links, since this is a sign of a worthy blog. This is actually how I got better results when I submit my blog to blog 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. Opinions range from the modest to the outlandish, with some people of the thinking that I should submit my blog to as many different blog directories as I could manage.
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? A simple online search for "blog directory" will actually get you hundreds of potential directories to check out. In fact, many of the better blog directories came in at the top of the search results pages.
There are many blog directories that have specific rules about posting backlinks. 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. I was then able to focus on producing better content that resulted in more links.
