How to get traffic to my Blog

Internet weblogs, better known as blogs, are fast becoming a very important category of Internet websites. As more and more companies add a blog component to their existing website, or as a cross linked stand alone site, blogs become part of the web mainstream.

As part of that Internet mainstream, blogs are now finding entry into most of the popular Internet directories. The Open Directory Project, better known as DMOZ, has a special category for weblogs. Topic specific blogs are found under traditional website categories as well. The Yahoo! Directory has also proven to be very receptive to adding blogs to its listings. Because blogs are mainly non-profit sites, bloggers are able to use Yahoo's free submission option.

Other smaller Internet directories, including JoeAnt, Skaffe, Zeal/Looksmart, GoGuides, and Gimpsy also have blogs in their regular category listings. Blogs are readily accepted into the major Internet directories alongside traditional websites.

The blog advantage doesn't stop there. Blogs have an entire array of blog-only free Internet directories available for inclusion. In fact, as incoming links, the various blog directories alone can propel a blog very high in the search engine results pages (SERPs). As an added bonus, the many free all-blog directories provide a strong injection of Google PageRank, into every blog in the listings.

Let's take a closer look at the many free blog-specific directories and their value for your blog.
