Submitting Blogs To Web Directories

Posted on 05. Jul, 2009 by admin in Web Directories

This blog post is intended for cur­rent blog­gers and would-be ones who just like any blog­ger would like his site to be pop­u­lar. What else could be the mea­sures of blog’s pop­u­lar­ity but its Google PageR­ank and Alexa Rat­ing. You could install all those site mon­i­tor­ing ser­vices avail­able in the web and be sat­is­fied with the vis­its being recorded therein but still the PageR­ank and Alexa badges are the more sat­is­fy­ing ones when your site scores high in them. So aside from com­mand­ing high traf­fic of vis­i­tors, what else must your site have to get rat­ings from those two (2) site-ranking authorities.

One of the most rec­om­mended method to increase your site’s rank­ing aside from fre­quent post­ing of blogs with orig­i­nal con­tents is work­ing to have as many back­links as pos­si­ble to your blogsite prefer­ably those with rep­utable web direc­to­ries. I read some­where about Open Direc­tory Project as one of the most impor­tant list­ing that your site should have.

The Open Direc­tory Project also known as DMOZ is not easy to get and takes a long time for any site to get if ever the site gets qual­i­fied to be listed. This reminds me of a forum thread started by a new­bie who sub­mit­ted his site to DMOZ and for­got about it. Lately, when he checked his PageR­ank, he was sur­prised to see PR4 which he attrib­utes mainly to his site being listed with DMOZ. Now, he is ask­ing how he can mon­e­tize his web­site but that is another matter. 

Aside from DMOZ, you could also try sub­mit­ting your sites to other pres­ti­gious web direc­to­ries like Yahoo, plusLINK and BOTW. You should also sub­mit your blog to other web direc­tory and get the back­link you need. The images on the right are what we call as chick­lets and each one, although not nec­es­sar­ily a web direc­tory, rep­re­sents some sites where you can get back­links (actu­ally rec­i­p­ro­cal links) for free. Try them and see how your site rank­ing climb. Do not for­get to update your blogs reg­u­larly with orig­i­nal con­tents. The more fre­quent you update your blogs, the bet­ter for the rank­ing you are aim­ing so just keep on blogging.

For busi­ness or com­mer­cial web­sites, BUSINESS.COM is your best bet to get listed. How­ever, you must at the same time sub­mit your site for list­ing in a busi­ness web direc­tory because just like weblogs, your busi­ness web­site needs as many links as pos­si­ble in order to be included in search engine results for key­words that your prod­ucts and ser­vices are related to.
