You can also submit your blog to DMOZ “the mother of all directories” – http://dmoz.org/ – the procedure is pretty straightforward but it could take forever for an editor to even look at your submission. But if you can get listed… it’s definitely worth the wait.
If you don’t already have a Yahoo account, sign up for one! Then you can add your RSS feed to your “My Yahoo” (and MSN, if you have one) account.
Submitting your blog to niche directories is also useful, be sure you follow their instructions and submit to the right category.
When you are ready to submit your blog, you will need your blog URL, title, and a brief description of what your blog is about. Make sure your description accurately describes your blog and also contains the keywords associated with blog.
One more thing: Unless you write several posts in a single day PING your blog after every post you make. In that case only PING once a day so you won’t be considered a spammer. Pinging lets the blog directories know that new content has been added to your blog.
The two most popular sites for pinging are:
Ping-O-Matic – http://www.pingomatic.com
Pingoat – http://www.pingoat.com
