If you want to have more people visit your blog, there are plenty of blog directories on the Internet that you can submit your blog to in order to attract and increase traffic. With the abundance of blogs available, the idea is to submit as wisely as possible as to prevent your blog disappearing in an Ocean Of Blogs. Here are a few guidelines:
Topic: Most blog directories are listed by the topics that submitted blogs that cover. Be as accurate as possible, and when give the chance to choose sub-topics, do so.
Tags: Goes without saying. When you have the opportunity to tag your blog, fill in all the blank spaces!
Quality Blog Directories: There are always a number of directories that seem to be well-known for quality submissions and standards. It may require more time than you planned, but the results are worth it. For one, Blog Catalog is a free blog directory with numerous categories such as career and jobs, writing, Iraq, and others. It has features such as featured blogs, search blogs, and look into improving your blogging. It is a great way to promote your own blog. Another great place to add your blog is Blog-directory.org. Not only do they have an extensive list of categories with sub categories, you can get your blog reviewed. For the most popular blogs, it shows the amount of hits that blogs have and if they have any reviews. As well as listing by category, the blogs are also listed by location.
Blog Directories with RSS Submissions: RSSTop55- Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites is a combination of blog directory submission and RSS submission. There are paid submissions, if you desire, but there are plenty of free submissions as well. These blog directories have standards, and can rate your blog. Don’t overlook the power of RSS. Those with readers may prefer to subscribe to your blog rather than bookmark it. Submit your Blog RSS every chance you have to maximize your reader base.
You never know what you will find when you browsing through the directories, and you may just find out information that you never knew. Some of the blog directories offer chat features as well, so that you can meet other people easily. If that isn’t your style, reviewing other blogs just very well may be. Some directories encourage members to review blogs. This is a great way to mingle, meet other bloggers, get exposed to other blogging methods and tips, and even inspire and be inspired by other blogger’s content.
Manual or Automatic Submission: Often heard is the question of which one, manual or automatic submission of my blog? Both could be of advantage and you don’t mind spending for paid submission. Automatic submission may introduce your blog to the world quicker, and this is fine. Manual submission has the advantage of giving you first-hand experience of what each directory is really all about: its features, it’s content, resources offered you may want to try out, and other areas of interest to you. You may want to return or not return to a particular directory to submit another blog someday, knowing it will be reviewed, and has a clear place in the categories.

10 Blog Traffic Tips
In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.
It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.

Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.
1. Write more pillar articles.
Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.
2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com.
This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it''s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.
How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com.
To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it''s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it''s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!
4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival.
A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.
5. Encourage comments on your own blog
One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.
6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts
A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger''s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it''s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.
This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.
7. Start commenting on other blogs
Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.
Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

8. Use a proper domain name
If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that''s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).
9. Write one new blog post per day minimum
Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
You don''t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles
A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.
Get Traffic to Your Blog With Themes
If you find it difficult to add content to your blog, consider creating themes for specific days. You will find that with memes your blog will gain popularity in your niche. And don’t be fooled into thinking that a meme is only for “Mommy” blogs. Any blog looking to bring in more unique visitors can benefit from a meme.
Here are a few popular theme days that are in the blogs sphere today:
Wordless Wednesday
Meatless Monday
Monday Motivation
Weekend Wrap-Up
There are many advantages to creating themes or memes as some call it, for your blog. As few of those advantages are
Regular readers: You will find that if you create a theme people will migrate to your blog more. They will look forward to what you have to share week after week. Just be sure to keep it inline with your niche. Don’t create a weekly meal planning theme if your blog is about internet marketing.

Requirments for Successful Blogging
In the beginning there was websites, now there are blogs. If there was an internet bible that's how it would go in the new testament. Because blogs have become powerful marketing tools and unlike websites there free. Soon there will be more blog owners then website owners on the internet and for most people just starting a blog and advertising it to their friends is all they need to do but if you started a blog for internet marketing/business purposes you need to know a few things about blogging if you want to be successful.
First, before you sign up for a blog you need to think what the content of your blog is going to be. Content is what holds blogs to together and keeps visitors coming back for more. Without good content no matter how many blogs you have you don't really have anything. So before you start blogging you need to think about what the subject of your blog is and you need to find information to provide to your blog visitors.
Fortunately, information is free on the internet and there are a variety of places where you can get topics for your blog post. If you do a search in Google for the subject of your blog you can find tons of free information to use in your blog. Once you find this information you have the choice of taking it as is, or rewriting it and putting your personal spin on it.
If your not the creative type and you can't really think of any subjects for your blog, just think about what the category of your blog is and use that to find information for your blog. If your blog is in the category of internet marketing for instance, you can do a search for internet marketing in article directories such as Ezine Articles or you can visit Internet Marketing Forums such as the Warrior Forum and these places will provide you with topics for your blog, you just have to pick one that you find interesting. It's possible to own a blog and provide years worth of content for it without every having to create content yourself.
Once you've got your content it's time to promote your blog. I only use one form of marketing promotion and that's article marketing.
With article marketing you can submit articles to article directories and wait for traffic to come in. Articles are a great source for free promotion because you can write about whatever you want and you can include a link to any site that you wish as long as it's within the guidelines of the article directory that your using. Article directories are used by blog and website owners to find content so if you write a good article your article can be spread around the internet with a link back to your blog on multiple websites and blogs, so you get all of the traffic that they attract. Articles are also viewable in search engines such as Google so you can get organic traffic from people searching for information.

Ebook Resale Right: How to Get Profit!
Many beginner entrepreneurs are profitably using EBook resale rights to profit from. Before anyone can start to sell EBooks, they must know what types of rights are out there how to implement them. By not following guidelines and rules for these rights, a person can be penalized and fined from the authorities. You will need to recognize each and every EBook resale right to correctly sell the product.
1) No Rights: Products that you purchase and consume for your use only. You are not authorized to sell or give away these products, which include EBooks and software.
2) Resale Rights: Often the best and most common type of EBook resale right. You may sell these (or give away) and keep 100% of your income. Please bear with me when I say that when you sell your product, the resell right does not transfer to your client. This means they don’t get any rights and they can only use it for personal use.
The good thing is that it’s generally very profitable for you. Although your customers don’t get the product rights, they are able to resell it to their customers, without the resale rights. Those customers can’t resell it with rights unless they return to the person who sold it to the person who sold it to them (that’s you)! Get it? How do you make money? This is achieved by adding a link in your original products so that people have a way of reaching you. Now they can buy the right from you, then sell and keep 100% of the profits.
3) Master Resale Rights: Great for adding value to your customers. You can sell and keep 100% of your earnings. Your customer acquires the resale rights and can keep 100% of the profits too, but when they sell it to their customers, they get no rights. That means those customers (3rd level down) need to repurchase the rights from the original seller (back to level 1). Again, leave a link somewhere in your product so they can buy from you and resell to their customers for 100% profit.
4) Full Master Resale Rights: This is the easiest to understand out of each and every eBook resale right. Everyone who purchases and sells these gets the full eBook master resale rights. This option isn’t good for your affiliate programs because your affiliates can just buy it anywhere else and sell for 100% profits. Ensure you fill your version of the full master resale right with affiliate links so that you can make some more money from it.
1) No Rights: Products that you purchase and consume for your use only. You are not authorized to sell or give away these products, which include EBooks and software.
2) Resale Rights: Often the best and most common type of EBook resale right. You may sell these (or give away) and keep 100% of your income. Please bear with me when I say that when you sell your product, the resell right does not transfer to your client. This means they don’t get any rights and they can only use it for personal use.
The good thing is that it’s generally very profitable for you. Although your customers don’t get the product rights, they are able to resell it to their customers, without the resale rights. Those customers can’t resell it with rights unless they return to the person who sold it to the person who sold it to them (that’s you)! Get it? How do you make money? This is achieved by adding a link in your original products so that people have a way of reaching you. Now they can buy the right from you, then sell and keep 100% of the profits.

Some Ideas for Blog Content
Where are you going to get your blog content from? What type of content are you going to provide? In this article all above questions have been answered.
1) “Article directories” can be a great sources of traffic. Well they can be a great source of free content too. Have a search through the article directories for articles on the topics you are looking to publish and then republish them. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you include the author's resource box so that they receive the credit for writing the article.
2) When starting your blog you should definitely be consider “writing your own content”. Why? Because it is free and it also provides your blog with a dose of your own personality. You do not have to write every single post yourself because this can take a lot of time. However, there is no reason you cannot write an occasional article or product review for your blog.
3) Since your blog is a addition for your eBay business it makes sense to emphasize “eBay listings” on your blog. Do not fill it with all your eBay listings or your readers will quickly start to see your blog as one big advert. However, the occasional post about one of your eBay listings that you feel requires additional attention is fine
4) PLR(Private Label Right ) articles are sold to a limited group of customers (let's say 50). These 50 customers then have exclusive rights to use these articles for web content, email content, part of an ebook or whatever else they wish. PLR articles can be a great way to get content for your blog quickly. Although they usually cost a little money, they have an advantage over articles from the directories because of their restricted distribution. Instead of publishing a directory article that has potentially been used by thousands of people, you can publish a comparatively unique PLR article. Plus, you can make changes to the PLR article, giving it a unique spin for your blog.
5) If you are not happy with other people having the same PLR articles as you and you do not have the time to write your own unique articles, “outsourced articles” are an option. Simply, find a good writer and then agree a fee per article. They will then write unique, relevant articles which you can post on your blog. The drawback with outsourced articles is that they will cost more than PLR articles.
6) As an eBay ebook seller you should have access to lots of ebooks with resell rights and giveaway rights. Why not give some away on your blog? Your readers will really appreciate getting free ebooks that they can then go on to resell in their eBay stores.
7) Interactive websites are becoming increasingly popular and “YouTube” is no exception. On YouTube you can find videos on nearly every topic including selling ebooks on eBay. All the videos on YouTube contain code to embed the video, so all you have to do is copy and paste this code into a blog post and voila - you have video on your blog.
