Adding Your Blog to Directories

Submitting your blog to blog directories is a great way to increase readership of your blog, and it can even help with search engine optimization.

One way to increase readership of your blog is to submit your blog to various blog directories. Blog directories allow readers from across the internet to find you and your blog, and start following your posts. One of the foremost directories to have your blog listed on is Technorati. According to its website, Technorati is the leading blog search engine and directory, indexing more than 1 million blogs.

Claiming a blog on Technorati is relatively easy. First, you need to start a free account. Once that is established, you simply go to your profile, scroll down and enter your blog URL under claim blog. You'll fill out some more information on the next page, and then Technorati will send you an e-mail with your claim token. The token will likely be a 12-character code (like this NPXV3YVFM2AB), and you'll need to list it on one of your blog posts to prove to Technorati that you write for that blog.

Submitting to blog directories is generally free and takes only minutes of your time. It's a great way to increase the visibility of your blog, and it even helps with search engine optimization. You can find a list of free blog directories by doing a simple Google search. It's really that easy.
