Directory Submissions and Reciprocal Links

Here's a list of directories where I submitted Mental Notes. It's not an endorsement of these sites. If you have suggestions of other good directories, let me know.

Blog Directories Where I Submitted Mental Notes

Bloggapedia  pending I think, but my blog is listed beside my profile.  Not searchable though. 3/17 Hey my blog is there now and it's updated.  All the recent posts are also cached.  Good directory.

Blog Hub listed, uses redirect links 

Blogs Collection  resubmitted 2/19.  3/17 I checked.  My site's still not listed in Blogs-Collection.com.  The site is crap

Blog Listing  my site is supposedly listed, but I can't find it. Poor search capabilities.  3/17 I can't find it in Blog Listing.net.  The site is crap.

Blogger Now listed, uses redirect links

Directory Best . Info - it says my link is there but I can't find it.  Useless

Get Blogs Directory - resubmitted 2/19.  3/17 I can't find it in Get Blogs.com.  The site is crap.

Dmegs Web Directory Listed

Blog Catalog Listed, Highly Recommended

Blogged Listed, but I resubmitted to change some details

Pinoy Sites  Submitted 2/19

Blog Rated Directory  Submitted 2/19.  Looks like a good directory 

BlogUpp Submitted 2/19.  Easy submission.  Very big widget! 3/17 - I can't find my listing.  This site is crap.

Reciprocal Links

I believe reciprocal linking is beneficial. It's not the only way to get traffic. There's viral marketing, social network site marketing, blog commenting, search engine submission, article syndication, among others. But a link exchange does help in your SEO efforts and traffic improvement.

That said, reciprocal link requests for Mental Notes are welcome. Just link as a comment. That's it.

Select Name / URL and in the comment field describe your blog or site. No hyperlinks in the comments part please and don't be a spammer.

* Note, the URL you submit should include the link back to Mental Notes. You can link to the blog itself or to a specific post that has content that is similar to your site (so it's themed).

Thanks everyone!

I also have an old post about Search Engines and Directories.

    Notes that will never win me any awards but will nonetheless reflect my very apparent charm

  2. Hi there. I would suggest adding BlogCatalog to your list of directories. Personally, it provides 99.9% of traffic that comes from any directories I've submitted my blog to (and there's a lot of those). I use a BlogPatrol counter that tells me everything I could possibly want to know about where my traffic is coming from. BlogCatalog also has a high Google Page Rank. I like your blog. Feel free to comment on mine with your own link.

  3. You know what, Blog Catalog is on my list somewhere in the site. But yeah, I should add it here too. I think it's the best directory out there and I agree with your observations.

    I haven't tried Blog Patrol though. I'll check later.
