The various blog directories have specific requirements for inclusion. As with all directory submissions, it is very important to follow the submission guidelines very carefully.

As alternative websites, blogs have special requirements for inclusion in the major directories.
Submitting your business blog to the various mainstream and blog specific Internet directories will pay dividends for your business. You want to be sure your blog is included in the directory listings.
Blog Specific Internet Directories
One of the benefits that blogs enjoy is the number of free, strong PageRank directories that are exclusively for blog directories. If it's not a blog, it isn't included in the blog directory listings.
By submitting your blog to the many blog directories, it is not unusual to be listed in them within a week or less. Inclusion in the directories, provides almost immediate indexing by Google, and by the other major search engines.
The solid PageRanks offered by the blog directories help to seed the blog with a PageRank of 4 or 5, almost from the beginning of the blog. Note that the internal category pages of most blog directories carry a PR4, PR5, or even a PR6. The added PageRank boost and the one-way incoming link provided (usually one way) give the blog a leg up in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for the blog's most important keywords. Along with the search engine benefits, blog directories provide a surprisingly steady flow of new visitor traffic.
Let's take a closer look at the many free blog-specific directories and their value for your blog.
