BLOG DIRECTORIES
Incoming links help your site to get spidered, indexed and ranked better by search engines. Conveniently, there are many blog directories that specialize in categorizing and linking to quality blogs. You can find a comprehensive list of them at the RSSTop55. Also, your particular industry probably has blog directories and usually they are free to be listed in - sometimes you have to put a promotional link on your blog for them. BUT IT'S WORTH IT!
Submit your blog to blog directories.
Submit your blog to general web directories such as DMOZ and Aviva.
Links from DMOZ (The Open Directory), Yahoo! Directory, Aviva Directory and other quality general web directories provide you with what are considered "trusted links" by the search engines, a key to ranking well. Search engines value links from quality web directories because it means that your site has been checked and selected by a human being. But not all web directories are equal, and you want to be careful when submitting your site to not just throw good money(if they are charging) after bad links. Another nice thing about the top web directories is that they will send you relevant traffic, just like a search engine. Try all the free ones first!
