Promoting Your Weblog To Important Feed and Blog Directories
Now that you have some original content posted on your blog, it´s time to submit
your webblog´s homepage and your blog´s syndication feed to a couple of quality
directories. This way, visitors and search engine spiders will find their way to your blog,
you´ll get traffic and your website becomes indexed in the major search engines fast.
Step 1: Submitting Your Blog´s Feed URL
Submitting your feed is pretty easy. Visit each directory in the list below and paste your feed´s
URL in the appropriate field and hit the submit button. Some require additional information, but this is
explained in the comments beside each link.
