Nice resource for your bloggers.


Was interesting to see blogarama on your list. I own the domain vlogarama!

Thanks Mary. You are too awesome!

Unfortunately, one thing I found was the directory site www .stpt .com say in their notes that they do not accept blogs. Bummer.

You mentioned these were free.  If you go to



http://dir.yahoo.com/


they ask for a $299 fee.  I check a couple other of the directories and they also charge a fee.  Am I missing something?

Minnesota 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.

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??

Thank 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!

Only 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.

sloan.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.

I 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.

Riverside 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.

Thank 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!

Mary, 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:)

Mary,


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,
Al Harb

Great 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.

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.

Yahoo 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.

Chad,


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.
