blogging 101: submitting your blog
I thought I would start a short series of posts with blogging tips.
To start with I thought I would highlight the importance of getting your blog listed…
It’s important for people to be able to find your blog, otherwise you are wasting your time writing it in the first place. Getting your blog listed in search engines and blog directories is probably the place to start.
Google Blog Search is the place to begin. While it is possible to automate the process of getting each new blog post listed (and we may set this up for the creative coast blogs), it can easily be done manually each time you update your blog using the Google blog pinging service
Technorati is probably the largest blog community and directory. Getting listed here is probably a valuable thing to do. Sign up and get your blog listed. like Google there is a ‘pinging’ service available.
Some other sites worth checking out that will help increase the visibility of your blog:
Search Engines
- Yahoo! Submit your site
- MSN Live Search
Blog Directories
I get most people coming from Google, but if anyone has other good suggestions please add them to the comments.
