I am setting the funny hat aside for a few moment to deliver you an important message and some tips on gaining viability for your BLOG. You can write and write but without visitors you will simply be a ghost writer without subscribers and without a following. Not all bloggers are lucky enough to have someone like “One Mans Blog” to assist in promotion so you have to get down and dirty with traditional link building, self promotion, and gorilla marketing techniques.
I just submitted my site to www.dmoz.org and yes some of the SEO guru’s out there will tell you this isn’t worth it’s weight in gold, but let me tell you why I think it still holds value and some tips to really make your site stick.
DMOZ is more than just an old school directory, it is also a feed to 1,000’s of other directories. They have a system called RDF, that allows programmers, database gurus, and software vendors to import the entire directory for use in their own projects. See http://rdf.dmoz.org/. If you are lucky enough to get listed, it will get you listed in many more than 1 site. The real challenge is getting listed, but here are a few tips to help the process.
1.) Find the best category possible, if you have a topic related site, this is key, if not spend some time finding what you believe is the best category.
2.) When it comes time to submission, read the instructions very carefully and do as they say. If you break one of their golden rules you will never see your site listed.
3.) Submit once and wait a long time, past experience has shown 6, 12, 18 weeks is not an abnormal amount of time to get listed.
I just submitted AMB’s (Another Mans Blog) and if I get listed I will report back the exact timing it took.
That’s DMOZ in a nutshell, it probably deserved it’s own post, but I am including it with this one!
I have this list and let me tell you where I received it. I was working on another project to help promote a BLOG; and looking for some ways to build some quality links. In doing so, I spoke with a friend of friend that operates a link building service. He wanted $200-300 to manually submit the website to 100-200 quality websites. Instead of paying him ransom on this, I offered to purchase the list for $50.00. I purchased it and submitted the websites myself.
The sites vary and have changed a bit. Some are requiring payment or registration. I would not pay anyone to list your site, unless you are desperate and in such case give me $25.00 and I’ll be your friend.
Here is the list:
