One common concern for new bloggers is how to drive up traffic to their blogs. One way would be to increase the exposure of your blogs and gaining inlinks (having other sites to hyperlink to your blog) for them. And to do so, we can leverage on Blog Directories.
A Blog Directory is essentially a site which categorises blogs into various categories and provides description as well as links to the blogs. Some Blog Directories are also social networking sites which allow interaction of Bloggers.
To place your Blog in the directory, the most common procedure is that you will need to register as a member of the directory (FREE) and then submit your blog. Usually, the blog directories would require Bloggers to drop a link to the directories in their Blogs, in return for a link from the directories. Different directories have different criteria for submission of blogs. Some would require a high Google PageRank, others would prohibit new Blogs, etc., so do read the instructions clearly before registration.
