All of us wants to give more exposure to our blog, and there are various ways by which you can increase your blog exposure and also improve traffic. Submitting your blog to blog directories will help you in multiple ways:

• Your blog will be exposed to a completely new audience.
• Traffic from blog directories is highly targeted.
• You will be generating a good number of backlinks to your blog.

I was experimenting with one niche site call “Moviesonhacking” which I’m working on, and I used blog directories to see the effect on search engine ranking. Here is the list of verified blog directories where you can submit your blog. This list is manually verified by @Sharatnik and thanks to him for creating such epic list of blog directories.

Verified Blog Directories to submit your blog:

I recommend you to first make a new notepad file and write few details like:

• Name of the blog:
• URL of the blog:
• Feed URL of the blog
• Description of the blog in 2-3 lines

As this will make the submission task easier. I have broken down the list into:

• Websites where you can directly submit your blog.
• Reciprocal link or badge required.
• Websites to submit RSS feeds

I’m not a big fan of websites which requires a reciprocal link or ask you to add a badge, and I suggest the same with you. Apart from that this list is manually verified and you can start submitting your blog right now. You should also open this post (Exclusive list to submit your blog and make sure your blog is added to that list too.
