Have a blog? Don’t forget to submit it to blog directories

So your website now features a shiny new blog.  First off, the most important thing you need to remember is to use it.  And don’t just use it it to announce things you are interested in.  Publish content that will help your viewers or customers.

Once you’re updating it on a regular basis and you have a handful of posts up, the next thing to do is list it in blog directories.

Where you might ask? Use this friendly list.

• Technorati
• Blogorama ($1.99/yr)
• Blogs.com
• DMOZ – The Open Directory
• FeedPlex
• FeedMap – Local Blog Directory
• Loaded Web
• FuelMyBlog
• OnTopList

Once you submit your site to the directories above, don’t forget to keep posting.  Creating useful content and posting on a regular basis will do much more for SEO and gaining readers than any of the above sites will.
