New bloggers take note, you will for the most part be invisible unless you list yourself on the relevant directories and you’ll soon see a surge in traffic headed to your blog.<\/p>\n
Blogging newbies might try submitting their blogs to the search engines and perhaps the Dmoz open directory<\/a> project.<\/p>\n For the biggest bang for your buck, however, you’d likely want to google for “blog directory” and “rss directory” and list the high authority directories. Though it can be a somewhat mindnumbing process to submit the same data over and over again, it will result in sustained and long term traffic if done correctly.<\/p>\n Once accepted, you will have a backlink (with possible Google Pagerank of 3 or higher) helping you rank in the search engines for your keywords and key phrases.<\/p>\n One of my favorite directories continues to be Blog Explosion<\/a> which incorporate various fun elements (which generate traffic too).<\/p>\n
