A good way to get your blog noticed in the search engine optimization (SEO) space is to use blog directories. Blog directories are websites that will classify your blogs into many different categories. Usually, the best blog directories are human-edited, which means that each submitted blog is reviewed by a person, not a robot, who will decide whether our blog belongs to their directory or not.
Now, blog directories will not only help your blog reach people who are interested in the topic you write about, but they will also provide strong backlinks and can help your posts rank in search engines. Also, keep in mind that many people search blog directories to research blogs that are similar to their blogs.
Did I hear someone ask “What is a backlink?
A backlink is a link that a blog site gets from another blog site or static website. Backlinks can have a huge impact on a website’s ranking in search engine results. That is why they are considered so important to improve the SEO ranking of a blog. Search engines will use their own methods to calculate rankings using multiple factors to display search results.
One of the many methods that can help your rankings is to submit your sites to blog and article directories. I’m just going to focus on three directories that I’ve recently submitted this blog to. In another post I will talk about article directories and perhaps other blog directories.
I’m just listing the sites I recently submitted to in June of this year and have a user friendly portal. So check it out for yourself. As I continue my research, I may post about others later after I submit my sites.
ontolist
This site is easy to navigate. It doesn’t make you feel like it’s a “spam site”. I was quite surprised that the site I mentioned was indexed so quickly. So they encourage me to submit more sites.
blog flow
Blogflux lets you know on the first page that they currently have 157,056 blogs. So you’re excited to add your blogs to the number. They highlight the type of blogs they will NOT accept. It is an easy shipping process.
blogarama
It’s also stupidly easy to navigate. It’s been around for a long time, so it’s a high level of reliability. Your blog directory tab when clicked does not allow you the opportunity to browse the categories. But they make it easy for me to contact them. So I’ll let you know that this boomer is worried. I’m sure it will be corrected.
I used one of my handy Blog Management System forms to record the directory name, username, and password, as well as the specific blog I submitted.
If you have other favorite blog directories, please share.
