Blogs and Search Engine Optimization - Blogs and Internet Directories
(Page 5 of 6 )
The well known standard Internet directories, including DMOZ, Skaffe, and JoeAnt, accept blog submissions without concern.
Among the many directories that include blogs in their listings is The Open Directory Project (DMOZ). That well known and very important directory has a special weblog section, devoted to various categories of blogs. Over four thousand blogs are already included in DMOZ. Following the recent DMOZ data transfer, well over three thousand blogs are now included in the Google Directory as well.
Blogs also have their own exclusive directories. Those special blog directories, as quality backlinks, provide a jump start to your blog's PageRank. They gladly accept most blog submissions, often without requiring a link back to the directory. The special blog directories include:
- Blog Search Engine
- Blogwise
- Eatonweb Portal
- Blog Universe
- Popdex
- Blogarama
- Blogdex
- Globe of Blogs
- Blizg
- Online Marketing Links
- Weblogs Compendium
- Octopus Files
- Kmax
- Open Weblog Directory
Because of the number of quality directories available for all websites, and exclusively for blogs, strong showings of incoming links are a regular blog feature. It’s not unusual for a weblog to have a PageRank of 5 or 6 after only a few months on the Internet.
