Here is a list of some of
top RSS/blog directories you should submit your site to: http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/
Once you've submitted your site to
directories, you can get it indexed by Yahoo almost immediately by adding your RSS feed to your MyYahoo page. If you don't have a MyYahoo page, just go to http://www.yahoo.com. Now click on
MyYahoo link at
top and set up your free account. Once you have your account set up, click on Add Content, then add
URL of your blog RSS feed into
Find Content box.
When you go back to your MyYahoo page, your blog plus your first post should be shown. If you go look at your web stats for your site, you'll find that
Yahoo spider has already made a visit! Your new site should be indexed in Yahoo in just a couple of days. This is a strategy that some marketers were selling for $50 just a few months ago. And it works like a charm.
Every time you add a post, you can alert
RSS/blog directories by "pinging" them. There is a wonderful site at http://www.pingomatic.com that makes this very easy. You just have to type in your blog URL and Pingomatic will send your ping to Yahoo and about 15 other large directories. That will bring
spiders back to your site almost immediately!
During
first month, I would suggest that you write and add a new article every day. Blogs that are frequently updated get
most traffic. And you'll find that
major search engines will spider your site every day. At
end of a month, you'll have a 30-article niche site that is already getting a lot of traffic. If you've monetized your site with Adsense and related affiliate programs, you should also be making money already.
Once you've started building your niche sites with a blog, you'll never go back to doing it
old way again!
