Where to submit your blog to boost traffic


Getting Indexed by search engines as well as getting huge traffic is not an easy process and it usually takes time, but anyway the web world is blessed with countless number of directories and sites which allows us to submit our blog or site automatically to almost all the search engines. Here I have given some site names with links for your convenience. 

Famous Search Engines

  1. Google Webmaster - submit here 
  2. MSN Live search, Bing and Yahoo search engine - submit here
  3. Ping sites - 

Directories


Well, Web directories are not search engines and does not display web pages list based on typed keywords like Google and other search engine does. In Web directories blogs/sites are categorized under separate headings/lists (like say education, lifestyle etc). The important thing is the lists are not found by web crawlers but by humans. So, directory is a great place to submit your page for better exposure to the world.

Some important directories
  1. Open directory Project - submit here
  2. Yahoo directories - submit here
  3. Blog Flux - submit here
  4. Technorati - submit here
  5. Blog hints - submit here
  6. Blog Fusion - submit here
  7. Blog catalog - submit here
Yahoo directory is a good place to get listed and also for getting traffic but unfortunately the service is not free. It costs $299 for reviewing your site and once your site is accepted then you need to pay $299 recurring annual fee in subsequent years.

If your site has been accepted into the Open Directory, it may take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months for your site to be listed on partner sites which use the Open Directory data, such as AOL Search, Google, Netscape Search, Yahoo Search, and hundreds of other sites. We make updates of the data available weekly, but each partner has their own update schedule.

Some other sites that allows you to submit as well as share your blog posts

Finally coming to my favourite tool called "Fetch as Google". This is a good tool to submit our individual posts to Google search engine that; i liked the most. It's like directly ensuring from our end that each and every single post from our blog has been submitted and indexed.
