I would think it's more important to submit (ping) your feed to bloglines or other such than any directory out there. What you want is to get the word out about your subject and someone on bloglines probably has a blog. If he's looking for news in your category, he may just blog about you. The link you get from them will be a lot more important than any link you get from the blog directories.
well it probably dependse on what you are blogging about. I am product specific, if you are not blog directories and pinging is also important. I just figured that was obvious. Google site map, ping-o-matic, those are things every blogger should do! the Performancing.com firefox plug in does this for you on every post! pluss adds technorati tags and delicious files
i have read that many people are making lots of fortune through blogging ... what i would like to know is if they are getting most of their visitors from Search engines or through Pinging sites such as technorati , yahoo , msn etc .
Most top blogs get a lot of good google results. But its a combination of every traffic source you could think of. Most top blogs have a lot of RSS subscribers and repeat readers. Word of mouth can play a big part.
ok thx lots .. i personally think that Submitting to Blog Feeds plays a crucial role in getting traffic.
This is a very good suggestion, I think. Also, give time and effort in giving blog comments related to your own. This way, you can garner exposure as well as establish relevance.
Well said.I would pay attention to on-page SEO. Make sure your site is SEOd first and then start linkbuilding.
