A lot of people ask me if it really helps getting listed in blog directories and I  always say, "It can't hurt!"

I read somewhere that Google  frowns upon those mass directory listings. Where you pay one price and get listed with 200 or 300 directories. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.  My recommendation is that if it's free to get listed, get listed. The more places your site listed, the more exposure for you.

The very first place to get listed with any blog is Technorati. Hopefully if you have a blog, you have already claimed it there. Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. And when you claim your blog there, you can monitor the blogs incoming links to it and you can usually see some  traffic if your keywords are properly used and your posts are tagged properly. 

BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog are also good sources  to be listed with. Both are directories as well as social media sites and are good places to network and get exposure for your blog.

LS BLOGS has a page rank of 6 and offers fast approval. Blog Top List has a page rank of 6 and blogs are listed by a scoring system. Blog Hop is more of a search than a directory. A good opportunity for qualified traffic. They have a page rank of 6. Search 4 Blogs has a ranking of 6 and we have had good luck with.

And of course DMOZ. It's the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. Your site must be 6 months old and it's trickey getting into the right category and takes a while to show up. But they are an authority.
