Blogging is getting to be one of the most popular things to do on the internet these days. A lot of people are charging into it with no idea of what they should really be doing. If you do not really care about being found by others then not knowing what you are doing will pose no problem. On the other hand, lots of people are trying to make money via their blog. If this is you, then you will need to submit your blog to search engines and blog directories.
If you can spare some cash you can submit your blog to paid blog directories. The search engines trust paid blog directories. Paid sites require that blogs meet certain criteria before they allow them on their paid sites. If you submit your blog to a paid blog directory you will be in there with the best blogs on the internet.
Submit your blog to the popular search engines like google, Yahoo and MSN as well. If you want it found by others you will definitely need to submit your blog to the major search engines. Keep in mind that your blog will be competing with millions for the traffic. Before you submit your blog you will have to know which directories are relevant. When you go to submit your blog it will be very much like it was if you have ever submitted a website. There are few differences however. If you submit your blog correctly you should get indexed rather quickly.
You should make sure you have a sitemap done before you submit your blog. This is really important when you submit your blog to google. And we are all aware of how popular google is so the traffic from there is extremely desirable. After you submit your blog to google you should check the sitemap once in a while and keep it up to date. You can install a sitemap plugin if you have a Wordpress blog. This way the plugin will update the sitemap automatically. You can use google tools to make your own sitemap if you are not using a wordpress blog template.
When you want to submit your blog to the major blog directories you can use a site like Feed Shot to do it. You will need an account with yahoo and google before you submit your blog to them. MSN requires certain things that yahoo and google do not require when you submit your blog to them. You can find articles online that will show you step by step how to submit your blog to the blog directories and individual search engines.
