Guide to Blog Directories
Blog directories are a easy way to get some quick targetted traffic to your site. This article discusses:
- What are blog directories
- Why use blog directories
- List of blog directories
Blog directories are basically sites that categories user submitted blogs. You submit your blog to the related category, and people use the directory as a blog search engine.
There are hundreds of blog directories out there, its up to you how many you want to submit to. However, submitting to the bigger ones is recommended. Most blog directories require a link back, sometimes in the form of a small button. In one of the sidebars on the site, you will see lots of these small buttons. They are blog directories that I have submitted to, and I recommend you do the same.
As this site grows and as i stumble upon new blog directories, keep an eye out for more buttons and ill make a new post about them every so often.

Using similar websites to find sources of traffic
The following article expands on the following ideas :
- Link trades ;
- Public Stats / Hit Counters ;
- Top Referrers.
One of the best ways to get an idea of sources of traffic is to surf websites that are similar to yours. No matter how unique your site is, there will still be other sites that have common content to some extent. Finding these sites is merely a matter of googling your keywords or keywords that you think are similar to yours.
Once you find a few appropriate websites, look over the links area and see if they are accepting link trades. If your site is up and running, send them an email or fill in the link trade form. Link trades are a great source of traffic and also help to increase your page rank. If the site does not advertise that it is accepting link trades, it may still be worth sending them a polite email requesting a link trade. Alternatively, you could put up their link on your site and send them some traffic for free. Some sites will place your link up as a result of this. Still looking at the links area, it is worth clicking on the listed links that are similar to your website to see if they are accepting link trades. Follow the same steps as in the previous paragraph.
Some websites have public stats. I.E. they make available the infomation for website viewers to see where the website is getting its traffic from. This is fairly rare, however keep a look out for this button
as it is a common stat counter that shows public stats. Click on it and you can see where the website is getting its traffic from. Vistit these sites and see if you can trade links with them or submit your link. Similarly, websites may have a link similar to "top 100 referrers' which lists sites that are sending that site the most traffic. These links are well worth checking out.
Each of the concepts discussed above are explored further in the website and can be accessed by clicking on the labels either at the end of this post or in the sidebar.
