Top 10 Blog Directories
Posted on 26. Apr, 2010 by Pete Hollier in Search Optimization, Social Media
A Blog without traffic obviously provides little or no return on investment for your business.
Obviously, content is the most important element which determines your Blog’s overall performance however, to gain the benefits of excellent content your Blog needs exposure and traffic.
There are numerous methods to increase Blog traffic all requiring some investment in human and in most cases financial resources.
As part of your Social Media Marketing Program you should of course be promoting the content of your Blog via Social Networking site’s such as; Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter.
Although Social Network promotion of your Blog is highly recommended, it is time consuming and requires commitment to follow through with networking discussions.
Blog Directories
Blog directories are an excellent source of traffic for your Blog, with the added benefit of providing back-links to your Blog which will assist to improve your Blog’s visibility in the Search Engine Results Pages.

Nice list of blogs. I’m gonna list my site with them now. I’ve got roughly 85 posts and generating enough decent content that hopefully registration won’t be an issue.
Hi Pete!
Good article based on a solid concept; as you distribute your Blog to a wider audience (by listing in highly-ranked Blog directories) you are increasing the probability of your Blog being found by many more people than your own website can achieve by itself.
That last reminder about selecting a category that best fits your Blog when registering, and then staying with that category when registering on other sites, will certainly help bring readers who are interested in your Blog topics to your Blog, too.
Thank you.
Nice blog list. Thanks for posting. Pete, which is your fav directory?
Hi Josh
Has to be Technorati as far as I’m concerned it is Blog Central
Hi Ken
Well said, there is just so much competition for readers eyes we must be pro-active to obtain our audience. Once we start developing that audience we have to develop the high quality content required to keep them
Pete
Thanks for the Top 10 list Pete, I’ve been planning to get listed in some directories so am going to use the list to get me motivated – will start with Technorati.
