|
A blog directory is a taxonomic hierarchical listing of blogs. There are many blog directories in existence, and often the blog directory is associated with a social networking or community site. Often blogs will include themselves in a blog directory when they are starting out to try to gain traffic: either via search engine rankings or traffic from the blog directory. Types of blog directories Blog directories can be classified in many different ways, including: cost of adding a blog and method of maintaining The cost of adding falls into three categories: :1. Paid submission directories :2. Free submission directories with link back requirements :3. Free submission directories with no link back requirements :4. Select inclusion directories that do not accept submissions The method of editing or maintaining a directory has the following categories: :1. No editing performed (theoretically possible) :2. Staff edited :3. Community edited An additional element that differentiates one blog directory from another is the presence of or lack of social networking and community elements (such as discussion forums, friend lists, etc.) Criticism of blog directories * They are irrelevant, nobody uses them to find content * Some directories which require a link back insist on your link first and never add your blog to their directory * Staff edited directories can be very slow Examples of blog directories * Blog Announce * Bloggeries See Also
