Motherly Marketing Blog

Hey Peeps,

Feeling a bit guilty but Nando took the boys to nursery and Julia made him company and ‘helped’ him to put the skirting board on the kids new bedroom (our spare bedroom that daddy used to sleep and run away from the nocternal madness of my house..

Anyway, feeling much better now and ready for MY FINAL LESSON FROM RICH SCHEFREN.  Cannot believe that really.  We still have access to him I think twice a week for Q&A but it definetely is not the same as having live lessons and this final one he keept us waiting and craving for like hell so I cannot wait to see what that brilliant mind has in store for us.  Be ready to be blown away when Alex brings Rich over the 500 Fortune land, this man was born to teach.

Ok, now to the topic at hand.  I was sent a wonderful resorce last nigh from a great GPS’er Trupti, great gal and I thought I should share with you in chuncks to increase the chance of you implementing all the tasks at hand.  I think that when we are not overwhelmed with so many different things to do we tend to take action faster.

I skimmed through the book last night and went over two thirds of these directories and submit this blog.  I haven’t used the paid resources but am thinking about the first one in the list.  If anyone goes ahead and pay before me please let me know of your results.

1. Best of the Web Blog Search La Crem de la Crem, Best of the Web’s Blog Directory is very selective and only lists aged and valuable blogs. A link from here is majestic and well deserved.

2. EatonWeb Blog Directory is a real jewel with many aged inbound links and a blog rating system. You may have to pay a fee for your blog to be reviewed, but like Yahoo, the review fee is well worth the few dollars.

3. Blog Hub offers a drop down category and member blog list. With its “new blogger” list and hot topics, Blog Hub is a great directory to list your site.

4. Upon visiting Bloggernity, you find a crisp, clean, and easy to navigate site. Scrolling down, you find the new blogs. As there is little advertising on the home page, it is pleasant to the eye of the reader as well.

5. Blogarama has an impressive listing of over 65,000 blogs. The site is well designed and follows the same content categories as many other sites.

6. One of the most selective Blog Directories on the web (and Wordpress powered), Blog Search Engine is owned by Performancing’s parent company and serves search results powered by IceRocket.

7. Blog Catalog features a vast directory of categories, from academic to writing, while offering the ability to search by country, language, or user. It has a no frills design, but offers convenient member access through simple blog registration.

8. Globe of Blogs has too many features to list. In order to be listed on the site, the blog must not be commercial. The site may appear to be busy, but I like the features of being able to search by title, author, or subject. Narrowing the search becomes easier on this blog.

9. The ultimate directory of British blogs connotes all things British. It is not directed by location, but by the culture! It is asked that bloggers be genuinely “britished.” Being listed in this blog reaches readers all the way across the pond!

10. Blog Universe is the perfect place to promote your video or podcast themed blog. Its layout is easy to navigate. Although the content is limited, it is an all around good directory site worthy of submission.

11. Bigger Blogs is a relatively new blog directory with only a few blogs registered. The blog is intertwined with a business directory. The blog section is difficult to find, and it is located through a link on the right side of the business directory page. However, the benefit is that the earlier you are accepted on a blog directory, the more exposure your blog will obtain. In addition, a back link is indeed a back link, so this can help with your search engine placement.

12. Bloggeries has the best categories and subcategories home page on the internet. The layout is clear and concise, and readers are able to find what they are looking for in a snap!

13. Bloggapedia has an interesting and eye catching homepage. Readers are easily connected to the top blogs and newest posts. Innovative categories and a colorful design make this blog directory a hit.

14. Spillbean is a well-designed blog directory site with categories such as health, society, internet, and personal. The site is aesthetically pleasing, but there are not many listings yet.

15. Blogging Fusion is a blog with over sixty categories. These categories include photo blogs and family focused blogs. Blogging Fusion has an good amount of blog listings within the directory, and it also has visitor stats available.

16. Blogflux is not only a tool for bloggers, but a directory that has the listings in alphabetic order. The blog listings are organized and clear. It is definitely an effective blog directory in which to be listed.

17. The blogs on the top listings of Bloglisting are fun, colourful, and catch the attention of the reader. Bloglisting displays the page ranking blogs, which is a helpful tool when determining with whom you want to exchange links.

18. Blogio may be a small blog directory with few listings, but it worthy of a submission. Despite its small size, there are quality blogs and a solid ability to search on this site.

19. Blog Explosion claims to be the largest blog promoter on the internet. They have a vast directory but do not seem to have direct links. However, the listing in the directory can still show up in SERP’s, so keep this in mind.

20. Super Blog Directory is a great site that offers tools to posters that others do not. You can see the latest submitted links and blogs on the site, which is a perk that draws traffic into the directory.

And this link is to the blog the list comes from: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/20-essential-blog-directories-to-submit-your-blog-to/5998/

There is anothes endless list of directories you can send you blog to but I though we are all very very busy right now and there is no way you would be able to do it all in one go, so I will give it to you at a later stage.

As I mentioned on Mark’s blog.  I will be writing a post about tweeter and how we could leverage our 500 Fortune status and continue building a killer community using tweeter.  It seems most of us still don’t know how to use it to it’s fullest potential – including me, I am no expert on the subject.  But I did some research and found some good tutorials which I would like to share with you guys + I have the likes of Rich Schefren and Stephen Pierce amongst my followers and I think we could definetely come together to make Alex’s students community stick out in the eyes of the IM world.  So we must stick together here, I will be doing that later today ok.

For now take care and lot’s of love,

Sandra
