One Cool Directory Blog
You’ve heard of blog directories. But have you ever heard of a directory blog? Well, I found one.
Directory Blogger is a fairly new blog about directories. All kinds of directories – article directories, blog directories, niche directories, bid directories, general directories, you name it. Since June 2008, Directory Blogger has been providing excellent blog posts on directory submissions, link building through directories and a variety of other topics of interest to serious webmasters who use directory submissions as a way to build links and drive traffic to their websites.
This blog has a cool design. It’s eye-catching and appealing and seems to be well optimized with maybe a few minor weaknesses. I’d definitely recommend reading this blog to keep up with smaller directories. His search box isn’t working so I wasn’t able to see if he has any posts about DMOZ and BOTW, two of the biggest names in the directory niche. Nevertheless, I’d encourage you to subscribe to his blog feed and see what he has to say about directories.
Blog Review of Search Engine Optimization Journal
This is one of my daily must read blogs. Nick Stamoulis really knows Internet Marketing and SEO. There are tips there for the newbies and for the pros both. It’s posted to twice daily so Brick Marketing can keep you up-to-date with the latest SEO News and Tips.
It’s a no nonsense blog both graphically and substance-wise. Nick tells you like it is and the blog focuses on the content rather than having a bunch of pretty colors and ads to distract you from reading about SEO.
They say knowing your audience is the biggest thing if you want to be successful. People wanting to read up on and learn about SEO don’t want a bunch of graphics and popups and ads. They want information. Nick’s Search Engine Optimization Journal provides that.
Niche Blog Marketing For Products For Sale
There are still a lot of people around who do not believe blogging and social bookmarking can lead to sales for commercial products. Just like those that thought blogging was only a fad back in the 90s, bloggers who think that blogging and social bookmarking have no real benfit for businesses and product sales will learn they are wrong.
Many SEO people are convinced the only way to make money on the web is to rank well in the search engines and that you live and die by search engine traffic alone. Smart SEO people do not rely solely on search engines and try to get traffic from many different sources.
Here is a good example of a niche blog using the blog to sell product. It is well put together and with social bookmarking will likely rank well in the search engines for their products. With social bookmarking added into the mix they are also likely to make sales that do not go through the search engines.
