Web Directories: gaining exposure

So, as you all know, I have been trying to build up a fan base for my blog over the past few weeks. I tried listing it on quite a few blog directories and trying various advertising strategies.

I would like to write about the best method of gaining exposure that I have found so far, so that I can possibly help others who are trying to build followings for their respective websites.

Jasminedirectory.com is a great resource to list your website, not only because of the high traffic it receives, but also due to the SEO potential. I listed my website on business web directory and noticed an immediate increase in traffic. Also, I noticed that I moved up significantly on Google Search results. My business listing on Jasmine Directory directly accounted for over 50 new unique visitors to my website in only 2 days.

Just to briefly touch on some of the additional benefits of Jasmine, as compared to some other directories. In addition to SEO, they allow you to post 5 deep URL's, which can be used to draw visitors to a desired location in your website. Also, they create automatic thumbnails in order to visually enhance your listing. They are also W3, css, and HTML valid.

In addition, a website directory has the potential to draw a lot of editors to your website to provide feedback as to how to increase traffic. One of the editors who contacted me through Jasmine directory provided me with some great tools to not only increase traffic, but also enhance my content as well by providing more analysis and not simply picks.

In conclusion, if you are simply a sports fan that enjoys reading my picks, then this post probably does not apply to you and you can rest assured that I will still be providing my no-strings attached, free daily NBA picks. For those who have emailed me and asked me questions about advertising and creating their own blogs, then this post is for you. It's just an idea, but one that could have positive effects on your blog.
