List your Blog in the Directories

A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links.

Something that people are personally a little lax in is using blog directories to pull in more traffic to their blogs. It gets moved down the list for other things that seem more important. It's wrong. They can help your blog's link popularity and send you a lot traffic.

One way you can pick the best of them is join blog directories that are already established, have page ranks higher than those of your own blogs, where editors review and rank blogs. If you are looking for backlinks, then look for directories that are:

1. Free
2. Offer one-way links
3. Have high Page ranks
4. Have high traffic rankings
5. Have editor reviewed submissions

Do you have any links of some good free ones? All the high page ranked ones I found ask for payment.
I also found a link managment service where you can rent regular content text links on high page ranked sites for hundreds a month.
I need traffic for people to start sharing missed opportunity stories on my sites.

Interesting. Can you suggest some blog directories? Thanks.
