 Posted in SEO Comment from: Louis Cammarosano [Visitor]  · http://blog.homegain.com Mary Nice resource for your bloggers. Was interesting to see blogarama on your list. I own the domain vlogarama!  Permalink April 06, 2008 20:42:11Comment from: Karl Burger [Visitor] · http://www.pensacolarealestatenews.comThanks Mary. You are too awesome! Permalink April 06, 2008 23:24:21Comment from: Cyndee.Haydon [Member] · http://www.clearwaterrealestatetampahomes.com/Mary - what a great list - thanks for sharing! Permalink April 07, 2008 01:43:22Comment from: Minnesota Investment Real Estate [Visitor] · http://www.MinnesotaInvestmentRealEstate.comYou mentioned these were free. If you go to they ask for a $299 fee. I check a couple other of the directories and they also charge a fee. Am I missing something? Permalink April 07, 2008 03:47:05Comment from: Laurie.Manny [Member] · http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.comThanks Mary Permalink April 07, 2008 07:59:55Comment from: Mary.MCKNIGHT [Member] · http://www.rsspieces.comMinnesota Investment Real Estate, You can get into the Yahoo Directory for free. I did. It just takes more time and effort but it is entirely possible. They give an option on the submission page for it but they do not guarantee listing and say it will take longer. Each and every one of the directories listed above - I got this site into for free. As for some not accepting blogs- if our blog doesn't look like a blog- like this one or our clients- you can get accepted. Permalink April 07, 2008 08:57:11Comment from: Mitch Argon [Visitor] · http://www.freenevadamove.com/Mary, Very nice list. Thank you. I did notice that the site: http://sloan.ucr.edu/ - the first on the list has 'nofollow' on comments. Correct me if I'm wrong but this would not provide any seo benefit.... right?? Permalink April 07, 2008 12:17:09Comment from: Joshua Harley [Visitor] · http://www.TexasHomeCentral.comThank you for providing lists like this. Doing your own SEO is difficult when it's not your primary job but your site makes it easier! www.TexasHomeCentral.com is a PR3 now! Our blog www.TexasHomeCentral.com/blog is only a PR1 but that is because we moved it from another location and are having to start over. Regardless, we rank in the top 100 on Google, Yahoo and MSN for over 1900 keywords (maybe more but can't think of every possible term). Thanks for your time and efforts! Permalink April 07, 2008 13:03:26Comment from: Tina Howell [Visitor] · http://www.NorthTexasRealEstateHome.comThanks for explaining in more detail how those that seem to charge work. I was getting frustrated after seeing some of the fees. Permalink April 07, 2008 13:50:52Comment from: Mary.MCKNIGHT [Member] · http://www.rsspieces.comOnly Google follows the nofollow tag- so you are still getting a backlink in Yahoo. At the time I wrote this list- sloan was a follow blog. Either way it is still a good idea to gain the backlink for other engines. Permalink April 07, 2008 16:58:36Comment from: Matt Fagioli [Visitor] · http://www.diamonddwellings.comHey Mary, Thanks for the link tips. I've been working hard on this for the last hour now! Be blessed, Matt Fagioli Permalink April 07, 2008 19:12:25Comment from: Daniel Bates [Visitor] · http://www.mymcclellanville.netsloan.ucr.edu has no follow links on their comments...not sure if it's been that way or they they switched it when they saw all the spam coming in. Permalink April 07, 2008 22:28:36Comment from: Janice Bovee [Visitor] · http://www.phillyrealestateguide.com/Just when I thought I might relax for awhile. Great resource I look forward to the next installment hopefully I'll be done getting all these links. Mary thanks so much for sharing. Permalink April 07, 2008 23:46:16Comment from: Laurie.Manny [Member] · http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.comI somehow got into the Yahoo directory without paying also. So yes, it can be done. I think I submitted about a month or so ago. Permalink April 08, 2008 01:12:45Comment from: Christopher Myers [Member] Thanks for the list Mary! I've been working on the .edu backlinks among others, and now have alot more work ahead of me to prepare for the pending PR update. You rock! Permalink April 08, 2008 12:47:04Comment from: David and Kristin Small [Visitor] · http://www.grandstrandagents.comMary, Mary, Mary....you are a wonderful, neverending source of great information. Thanks a ton!!

I am going to have to go back and checks these sites. It gets to point that I don't remember where I have submitted. Permalink April 10, 2008 13:37:54Comment from: Katherine McAmis [Visitor] · http://www.kathymcamis.com/Great resource, this kind of information is hard to find on the web. Great information specially because they are all free sites!!! :) Permalink April 11, 2008 19:40:22Comment from: Riverside Real Estate [Visitor] · http://www.theriversidehomesource.comHeads up:
Directory has a $99 fee for listing
Directory this now redirects to kids.yahoo.com so no link there
http://sloan.ucr.edu/ I couldn't find where to submit, just an predictions exchange game...that had no link posting... Permalink April 13, 2008 16:24:26Comment from: Mary.MCKNIGHT [Member] · http://www.rsspieces.comRiverside Real Estate, There are a bunch there that you can pay for guaranted inclusion but if I listed it- you can also submit for free like stpt and yahoo directory. The Sloan site has blogs on it you can comment on. -Mary Permalink April 13, 2008 16:47:04Comment from: Marlene Scheffer [Visitor] · http://kitsaphomes.comThank you, Mary. I have soooo much to learn since I am planning a new web/blog site, but am working on knowing more about SEO, RSS, backlinks, pageranks, etc. I can’t tell you how much your posts have taught me so far! Permalink April 22, 2008 06:28:52Comment from: Faina Sechzer [Visitor] · http://www.princetonrealestatehomes.comMary, Yahoo directory does not even allow to submit. When I click on it, It returns me bak to the page saying “commercial sites” have to pay and quite a lot. The Stpt. com was taking me to the payment page and I couldn’t get it for free. They may have changed the rules. Excellent information and lots of work for me:) Permalink April 22, 2008 19:51:28Comment from: Alexander Harb [Visitor] · http://activerain.com/blogs/alharb79Mary, I took a gander at the list you had and it was nice……the only thing is some of those directories were not free…. Yahoo is $299 per year for inclusion. Several of the other directories were $99.00 per year to be included. I just thought you needed to know, sis…
Thanks, Permalink April 24, 2008 21:28:03Comment from: Melina Tomson [Visitor] · http://www.tomsonburnham.comGreat information. I agree with Mary above that I could not get around the payment issue for Yahoo and stpt. I think I got everything else though. I try and register my blog everyplace and I can, and am trying to get my feeds out there.

Permalink April 24, 2008 23:09:04Comment from: luq [Visitor] · http://www.computer-realm.net thanks for this wonderful resource of quality backlinks, though some of the blogs (like the first one) have now implemented the nofollow attribute so you don’t get the backlink..thanks again. Permalink April 26, 2008 08:13:01Comment from: Chad [Visitor] · http://www.iondetoxpro.comYahoo directory submission is free for non commercial sites although even then I could not find a way to do it. If your site is commercial you WILL pay the $299. Permalink April 28, 2008 13:46:24Comment from: Mary.MCKNIGHT [Member] · http://www.rsspieces.comChad, That is incorrect. I have a commercial site (rsspieces) and we are in the Yahoo Dir for free. Perhaps I will write a tutorial on how to do it as so many of you are having trouble submtting to some of these directories.
