Using blog directories are a definite must in the world of blogging. Finding good directories can be difficult but if you are already networking to advertise your blog you have an excellent chance of finding one. One thing to remember about blog directories is that if you just submit your blog and never go back to the site; the blog directory will not bring in more than one or two hits every once and a while. Joining blog directories are great; but do you know how to use them.

The simplest way to use them is to submit your blog and head over to the discussion forums. This is where the action is. The people you find on blog directories are people like yourself and they can give you some advice as well as traffic. One thing you have to remember is that most people who blog belong to more than one directory and are active on more than one website. The reason I mentioned that is because every time you log into your account there is a cookie that the website leaves in your temporary folder which is unique to your own profile on the website. Most directories have a tracking widget that will show your avatar and profile name every time you visit one of their blogs.

It is important to remember that logging into you social media accounts on the web just because of the cookies that get put in your cache. Just seeing your avatar is almost enough to get others to visit you, leaving a trail of bread crumbs to your page is essential in building traffic. Adding friends and joining “Neighborhoods” will also capture someones attention. Little things can make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.

These are only a few tips to help bring you traffic with blog directories. In future I will be posting more on blog directories and how to use them to your benefit. But one thing you have to keep in mind while using different blog directories is to take part in the discussions and keep the same avatar for each directory.  Most people have a widget to display the avatar of who visited their page and if you are using the same one for each of these sites then they will always know it was you who visited their page.
