Hi and welcome,

There are  over a million blogs now online, and there are thousands and thousands of readers who have to sift through  them in order to find the ones that they would like to read. After all, there are as many tastes and thoughts as there are people on the planet, and having a blog can be a bid for anyone to be heard. If you have a blog, surely you’ve had dreams of making it big in the blogosphere and of getting people to read your work no matter where they are in the word. In order to do this, however, you will need to find ways to promote your blog.

Thanks to the power of the Internet, you have a lot of ways to choose from when it comes to promoting your blog.

One of the best ways to do this is to add your blog to blog directories.

In the same way that Google indexes individual websites and puts them under the right keyword,  you can add your blog to an online blog directory. A blog directory is a great way for you to get noticed.

So how do you get your blog onto online blog directories?

There are many different directories available, and you will need to find one that not only offers free listing – there are many of these, so you need not worry – but those that will allow you to gain the most visibility, one of the most popular by far is BlogCatalog , you are not limited to a single blog directory though so try adding your blog to about four or five, as there are readers and browsers that often stay loyal to a single blog directory. This will help  you to promote your blog farther, and faster.

Before you enter your blog onto an online directory, make sure that you know exactly what your blog keywords are.

These will be required when you register your blog site. You do not want to put down random keywords in an effort to get your blog noticed anywhere and everywhere. You know what it feels like to stumble onto a website that has absolutely nothing to do with your search term, so imagine what a blog reader would feel when he or she finds your blog but isn’t interested in its content!

Don’t turn potential readers away!

In the same way, make your content readable and worth going back to. There are many blog writers out there who do not even spell properly or write with sense, and you do need to set yourself apart from the rest. Make sure that your blog is ready for the world before you put it on a blog directory.

These are only a few tips that you may want to take note of before you start putting your blog down in a blog directory. For more information, go through the About and FAQ sections of blog directories to see what rules you need to follow, and the extent of the reach of the directory. With good planning and good keywords, not to mention good content, you will succeed in blogging.

Take care,

Carol
