How to Raise Your Blog Catalog Page Rank

So your BlogCatalog page rank, might not be of major importance to a lot of you out there, but nonetheless I thought I would post about it. Actually, part of the reason I’m posting about it is because I had no idea how to raise my BlogCatalog page rank and why they would adjust it. So for those of you who are interested in getting your page rank up, here you go:

(Before I begin I should clear up this one thing, the HIGHER your page rank is, the better. It’s a little confusing to know if you should be aiming for a 1 or a 100, but just to make sure you know the higher the better)

Complete Your Profile - In the advice I sought, this was one that people said was the most important. Finishing your profile (including picture and what not) as well as joining groups seemed to be one of the best ways to help your page rank.

Adding a BlogCatalog widget will increase you page rank as well.

Add relevant tags to your blog - This will make it easy for others to find your blog, but make sure your tags are relevant to your blog!

Blog a lot - This is good advice even outside of BlogCatalog because it impacts your viewers and the amount of people that will find your site through a search engine. Blog a lot because it will also help your page rank on BlogCatalog.

Rating and Reviews - Get people to rate and review your page is one thing people suggested in helping you get your page rank to go up as well.

I also read that getting more people to come to your site and what not helps your page rank, but that’s something all of us bloggers are already trying to do, so nothing new there.

So that’s about all the advice I found on this subject, I hope that it helps you in getting your page rank up as well as getting your blog out there!

I love BlogCatalog and find it to be a fun and great way to get my blog out there. So being active on this site is a good idea. Hope that this helps you Bloggers out there.

Enjoy this day,
Matt

10 blog directories to submit your blog to

OK, so you started a blog and now you want to get it out there. Truth is, if you took time to start a blog, then you should take time to advertise it so that others can enjoy what you're sharing. A blog directory is a place you can submit your blog so that others can find it as well as a place for you to connect with other bloggers. It's a great way to build those bridges to get your name/blog out there. Here are ten blog directories to submit your blog to.

Technorati - This is a great site and probably the most popular and recognized. If you want to advertise your blog this is the first place to go.

Blog catalog - Personally this is the one I enjoy the most. It has a great area for people to share about their blogs and find others willing to help them.

Blogged - I enjoyed Blogged, it was one of the first blog directories I joined and I see my site getting traffic from it. So it’s definitely worth the ten minutes it will take to submit your blog too.

My Blog Log - This is another fun site that I enjoy, it’s a great place to meet other bloggers and get your name and site out with.

On Top List - This is a free site that will also help you to build relationships with other bloggers. Great place to start building those important connections that will help you get your site out there.

Blog Flux - A very well organized and visually pleasing directory (a lot of directories aren’t).

Blogrankings - This is a great directory and a lot of bloggers use it. They will rank your page and place your ranking on your blog if you so desire.

Blog top sites - Straight forward directory, very easy to navigate.

Top blog area - A nicely made site for you to submit your blog too. Again, it never hurts to submit your blog to many of these sites to help get the word out about you.

Blog ratings - Lastly, this is a site I enjoy. Add your blog here and continue to find directories to add too!

Well I hope that this helps, if you have questions or other directories to submit, leave a comment below.

Enjoy this day,
Matt
