Top Blog and RSS Directories

You've setup a blog, now what? It's time to promote it!

Since setting up this blog, I've spent hours searching the internet for high traffic blog and RSS directories to submit my blog and feed to.

To help you promote your blog and to save you the time searching, I've compiled a list of the internet's Top Blog and RSS Directories.

Most of these directories are free to submit to and only require you to enter a valid email address. Some require you to register before you can submit your blog or RSS feed. Any blog or RSS directories listed with an asterisk (*) require a fee or a reciprocal link to be placed on your site before they will list your blog or RSS feed.

In addition to the blog and RSS directories, you may be interested in joining the Facebook group I've recently setup for bloggers called the Bloggers Network.

The Bloggers Network is a group for bloggers to network with each other. Advertise your blog, post your latest blog posts, plus discuss anything to do with blogging. You can access the group by visiting:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/BloggersNetworkGroup

To compliment the group, I've also setup a Facebook page. You can access this page by visiting: http://www.facebook.com/BloggersNetwork

You can also find Bloggers Network on Google+ and access the group and community by using the following custom links:
https://plus.google.com/communities/104330857061483680840
https://www.google.com/+BloggersNetworkPlus
http://www.BloggersNetworkGroup.com (Facebook)
http://www.BloggersNetwork.info (Google+)

I hope you find this list helpful and if you find any broken links, directories no longer in service or would like to suggest a directory, please let me know using the Contact Tab above. Happy promoting :)

Monetise Your Blog With VigLink

Many bloggers monetise their blog by selling ads on their site, but now there's a quick and easy way to get paid for your actual content rather than just the ads that go around it.

Any time you write about a product or service, you're connecting your audience to that product. If someone makes a purchase, the seller benefits from your written word i.e. you influenced a purchase. There are thousands of websites that will pay you a fee for any business you bring them through a form of online advertising called affiliate marketing. With affiliate ads, web publishers are compensated for driving online actions.

VigLink is a content monetisation company that makes affiliate marketing very easy for bloggers and website owners. They offer a simple snippet of code you can install in your blog or website that automatically and transparently does all the work for you. They've catalogued and signed up for more than 12,500 affiliate programs and they collect all the performance information and deliver you a single integrated payment.

By installing VigLink on your site with a few lines of HTML, you're instantly enrolled in thousands of affiliate programs. Even before you make your first cent, their analytics will help you find your most valuable links.

Affiliate Marketing Made Easy

If you're an Affiliate Marketer like me, you know that signing-up to different affiliate programs, installing the HTML code and keeping track of affiliate links can be a real nightmare, not to mention time-consuming. One quick and easy install from VigLink and all those problems are solved.

Enjoy coverage of over 12,500 merchants programs across more than 20 affiliate networks (including Commission Junction, LinkShare and TradeDoubler). Automatically participate in all of them with a single simple signup. No more hand-editing affiliate links, no more trying to merge report spreadsheets by hand. You'll never have to register for an affiliate program again.

VigLink doesn't interfere with any of the existing affiliate links on your page, so all the work you've already done is safe. VigLink only looks for links you may have missed or programs you're not already using. Also, There are no costs or fees and nothing changes about how your site looks or behaves.


Setup Is Free And Easy

Just paste a few lines of HTML into your blog or website, that's it. Link to other sites the same way you always have. With VigLink there aren't any special link codes for you to remember. They will automatically add them when visitors click a link to leave your site.
