When you plan to set up a blog, there would be many factors that come
to your mind. First the blog should be neat, the content should be
compelling and the most importantly the blog should drive traffic.
More traffic means more readers, followers and other extra income. So
usually we try to make the blog as Search Engine friendly as possible
and add all the available SEO plugins. Also we try to take care while
deciding on the keywords, to get more traffic. Apart from this we also
try to get links from other sites, which are very much related to our
blog in terms of content. Another way to promote your blog is to
submit your blog to various blog directories, which contains list of
the blogs and are arranged according to the theme of the blogs. These
directories make it easier for other to find blogs related to their
interest and helps us in getting targeted visitors. There are various
blog directories available, but I would like to list 10 of them which
I have found useful.
