While it is important to submit to blog directories for increasing your link popularity, another important avenue that gets missed easily is RSS directories. Here's how you can do this easily…

Almost all the blogging systems including Wordpress have an associated RSS feed that gets updated whenever you post to the blog. For Wordpress, the feed can be found at http://www.domain.com/wp-rss2.php or http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-rss2.php as the case may be. Now search for RSS directories and you will find quite a large list of good directories.

One such RSS directory is here. You should generally browse to the category that most closely matches the topic of your site and then click on 'Add your site'. Enter the required information and submit.

While some of the directories will include your site right away, most of them have human editors who review your site before inclusion. Therefore, it is a waste of time to submit junk sites because they will get rejected anyway.

RSS Feeds have become very popular and are an elegant medium to keep the people updated about what's new.
