As I’ve said before one good way to promote your site is to get it listed in a number of directories. If you have a niche website or blog it’s also a good idea to try to find specialty directories that list a number of sites similar to your own in topic or genre as well.

One general directory that you should list your blog is Blogarama. Just sign up for an account and you can list your site there free of charge. For the nominal fee of $10 you can change your free account to a premier account and receive better listings for your sites and a public profile for your account.

Sites are reviewed and approved by editors and it can take 1 to 10 days to have your site approved. You’ll receive an email once your site has been reviewed telling you if your site has been approved or rejected.

Once your site is listed in the directory it can be rated by other Blogarama visitors or members. Your site will be given a score that will be made up of user ratings, incoming and outgoing traffic. Placing a link to Blogarama on your site will allow Blogarama to track how many new visitors you send to their site – the more visitors you send the better your site rating will be in the directory.

In other words, if you send them visitors they’ll try to help you by rating your site higher and sending you visitors too since higher rated sites are listed near the top of each blog directory section.
