Previously Espreson discussed on “Sitemap plugin, its installation and configuration“. Now, the second part of blog optimization is Blog/Feed Directory submission.

Our ultimate goal is to get more readers. To achieve that you have to submit your blog in different Blog/Feed Directory. This job can be done in two way,

1. Paid submission
2. Free submission

1. Paid submission: Paid submission has better control and better result compared to Free submission, because you have paid some money to get listed in the prospective directory. Here is a list of paid blog directories,

• Fededshot (It lets you submit your RSS or Atom feed to a large collection of search engines and news services at one time charge of $1.99)
• Big Web Links (It ranks listings by the amount of dollars you have contributed to the listing, which offers more control for web site owners. Minimum of $29.90 USD for new submission and contribution amount increase as per your choice, starting from $1 minimum)
• Best of the Web (The Blog Directory Express Submit is a service for bloggers, blog marketers, and blog owners to quickly have their blog reviewed for inclusion in the Best of the Web Blog Directory. One time cost of $39.95)
• Joeant (Get listed as par your blog category. One Time Fee of $39.99)
• WoW Directory (World, local and regional directory. Express Submission $43 w/ Anchor Text and Sponsored Listing $65 w/ Anchor Text)
• Seven Seek (Listing type Web Page & Web Site costs $40. Sponsored Listing costs $99.95 )
• Skaffe (One time fee of $44.49)
• Aviva Directory (Regular links cost $49.95 and featured links costs $74.95)
• Directory Critic (Its a link building resource. Here you will find a list of search engine friendly web and article directories for webmasters. Its list include general, niche and article directories)

Note: To submit the blog in blog-directories, you need to submit it at appropriate category on that particular directory. For that, find the category as Blog or Weblogs and then add your blog on that category or in sub-category.

So, this is all about paid category lists. If you know any good paid blog directory then please let me know. Shall Espreson continue? Not now…Its too much..
Get in touch, because big hits are coming. That is Free Submission!

Disclosure: All the fees written above may change as per directory owner.
