It may save you a load of time in the future. What happened to me was with my webhost tweaking things and luckily the above fixed it immediately.

Updated Blog And RSS Feed Directories For Your Blog

Filed under: Blog Stuff — Ade Martin @ 1:39 pm

Hi,

If anybody has suggestions on more good directories please leave a comment with some info.

Here’s the result of yesterdays submissions to Blog Directories And RSS Feed Directories.

Some blog directories require a link back.

If you haven’t downloaded the Authority Black Book yet then you should as it is one of the references I am using for the practical steps I am demonstrating to you about setting up your blog for Web2.0. The link is on the right of the blog.

One thing I don’t agree with in the ABB is the Ping List. Using Pingomatic together with all the other sites means that just about everyone will be pinged twice. In case you didn’t know Pingomatic is a service where you can select up to 15 blogs to ping at one time. If you are doing this manually from their website you are able to select/deselect which sites you want but using Pingomatic as an auto ping in your blog could well result in spamming with the possibility of being banned. Banning is can be just for a short time but what’s the point?

Also consider that if you don’t have the WordPress plugin, WP-Cron Future Pings, which limits post pings to only when published then you could well be doing multiple pings every time you edit the post.

Additionally the list contained a ping for an Indian only site, one premium site and another where I couldn’t find a ping url to use.

I believe that IceRocket also pings multiple sites but I can’t locate the list. If anybody has this info please post.

My updated Ping List is:

http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
http://api.moreover.com/RPC2
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/XMLRPC
http://blogdb.jp/xmlrpc/
http://coreblog.org/ping/
http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/
http://ping.cocolog-nifty.com/xmlrpc
http://pinger.blogflux.com/rpc
http://api.feedster.com/ping
http://api.moreover.com/ping
http://ping.blo.gs/
http://ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php
http://ping.weblogalot.com/rpc.php
http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/
http://rpc.icerocket.com:10080/
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
http://topicexchange.com/RPC2Topic
http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2
http://xping.pubsub.com/ping
http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping

I submitted to the following Blog Directories:

Bloguniverse.com - Requires Back link. Problem with login procedure. Waiting for reply from support.
Blogarama.com - Requires Back link.
Bloghop.com
Memigo.com
Daypop.com
globeofblogs.com
My.Yahoo.com

OK, that’s what I’ve done so far. We still need to find more good blog directories to submit to and make a list of story sites, like Digg, we can submit our post to when done.

Feel free to leave comments.
