Blog Directories and Registries

If you have a corporate blog and want to drive some traffic to it by ensuring people can find it when they search directories, you need to register it. My experience has been that the effectiveness and impact of this activity is somewhat limited so I recommend you don't limit your efforts to it but it surely doesn't hurt to spend a little time to do it!

Here is a list of some of the leading blog specific directories (I am not listing the specific RSS feeds directories such as Feedster here) you need to pay attention to:

• Blogwise [http://www.blogwise.com/submit]
• Moreover [http://w.moreover.com/cgi-local/site/sourcesubmission.pl]
• Syndic8 [http://www.syndic8.com/suggest.php?Mode=site]
• Technorati [http://www.technorati.com/ping.html]
• BlogDex [http://blogdex.net/add.asp]
• BlogUniverse (select a category, then add your site) [http://www.bloguniverse.com/radlinks/]
• Eatonweb portal [http://portal.eatonweb.com/add.php]
• Bloogz [http://www.bloogz.com/man_en/add_your_url.php]
• BlogMatcher [http://blogmatcher.com/u.php]
• BlogHub [http://www.bloghub.com/cgi-bin/add.cgi]
• BlogPulse [http://www.blogpulse.com/submit.html]
• BlogCatalog [http://www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/submit_blog.html]
• GlobeofBlogs [http://www.globeofblogs.com/register.php]
• NewsTrove [http://newstrove.com/suggest_site.html]
  

If you have more time, I recommend a much longer list (of over 100), including regular search engines and directories, published by Robin Hood at the following address:[http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/]
