Places like blogcatalog are good places to list yourself as people use them to find blogs like their own to read.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

There are actually thousands of directories online. It should not be too hard to find a few hundred good ones. Yes… good ones (do follow, no javascript, PR, free and non-reciprocal) But going at it one or two directories at the time and seeing whether your site was approved or not is going to take you forever. Also the effect of a single directory link is so small that you would only see a difference in rankings after many approvals.

Some directories do not review a site in the first few months, simply because they have so many submissions in a day.
Then the next thing to consider is the spam filters that directories use. Follow the guidelines of each directory very well, or the filter will throw your submission out before it even reaches the human editor. On the other hand, submissions that are done correctly and do not have any spammy/promotional description are often approved by the editors without a single look at your site.

Directory submission is an important part of link building although I think most new website can live without Aviva. There are enough free directories, blogs and social networks out there to keep new website owners busy for a few months.

I have had fairly good success with getting some of my sites submitted to several directories on the list.

As far as I know, Vilesilencer is one, if not the best source for quality free web directories on the web. I have had fairly good success with getting some of my sites submitted to several directories on the list. They also do a good job of maintaining their list as it is updated often.

I have never seen the adivs site, so I will have to check it out

Thanks!

[...] Man’ blog, I haven’t done all that much in the form of promotion. I have discussed using directories and Entrecard as means of generating traffic but haven’t used them to their full potential [...]
