Blogging Directories - Great Advertising Venues

If you want to have more people visit your blog, there are plenty of blog directories on the Internet that
you can submit your blog to so that people will come and visit it. Most blog directories are listed by the
topics that the blogs that are submitted cover.

Blog directories categorize your blog based on what your content is about.
Usually, the best blog directories are human-edited, meaning that each
submitted blog is reviewed by a person who decides whether the blog
belongs in the catalog or not.

Blog directories are repositories for blog posts with links to the sites of the blogs themselves
if you want to look further. They are categorized by topics and are searchable.
Blog directories come and go, but the ones listed here have stood the test of time.

Another great place to add your blog is  Blogger  . Not only do they have a
extensive list of categories with sub categories, you can get your blog reviewed. For the most popular
blogs, it shows the amount of hits that blogs have and if they have any reviews. As well as listing by
category, the blogs are also listed by location.

are a great place to advertise your blog and to make new friends. You never know what you will find when you browsing through the directory, and you may just find out information that you never knew. Some of the blog directories offer chat features as well, so that you can meet other people easily.

As you can see, blog directories are a great place to get your blog noticed and bring people to read your
blog and look at your pictures.

Advertising Your Blog In Your Email Signature

If you have a blog that you are particularly proud of, and that you want to share with other people,there are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog noticed.

One of those ways is something that you do everyday, and that you may not even consider as a way to share your blog. Put the link to your blog in your email signature.

An email signature is a powerful way to convey your professionalism to your readers and give them the information they need to contact you.An email signature is placed at the bottom of each mail, which helps leave a great impression and makes you stand out from your peers.

Chances are that you send out emails more times then you can count during the day, Each time you send out an email, you can advertise your blog by putting the address of your blog in your email's signature.

It's always a good idea to write something catchy like, See what I am up to now, or Read my latest
chapter of my blog here, depending on what type of blog you have.

The thing to remember about putting an advertisement in your signature for your blog is to make it short, but very catching.

You want people to be interested enough to want to click on it, but you also don't want to scare them off.

Just like it is with any advertisement, you want to give them just enough to be interested and take a
closer look at what it is that you are advertising.

Think about what it is that your blog is about. What is really going to interest people about it and want
to visit? That is what you should include in your signature, and that is what is going to get people to
go to your blog.

 

Create a great email signature with you blog or website URL and in time you will see more traffic and look more professional.

Getting The Message Across For Your Blog

 If you are someone who uses chat programs such as
AIM- AOL Instant Messenger or,ICQ -also on.wikipedia.org or Yahoo messenger or Googletalk- or Facebook messenger  and have a lot of online friends, it can be a great way to get people to read your blog and to leave comments on it.

As it is with your signature on your email, you don't want to just send an instant message to people
every time you update your blog. You also don't want to simply send a message to someone asking to read your blog.

For someone who has been on your friends list for a while, you can be less formal of course, but you want to be polite when you talk to people who you may have not talked to in a while or someone who is new.

Use your own judgement when you are chatting with people about your blog. If it's someone that you
haven't talked to in a while, and someone asks you what you have been up to, you can point them to your blog so that they know what is going on with you.

Some blogs, like LiveJournal: Discover global communities of bloggers,
 have their own messaging program, so that's also another good way to advertise your blog.

Be certain that you don't send someone a message though only to advertise your blog. It's more polite
to say something about their blog first, and then tell them about your blog.

If you have a common interest, it's a good ice breaker and it will give you something to talk about.
