One of the most challenging tasks as a newbie blogger is getting traffic to your sparkly new blog. Marketing and promoting your blog is an integral part of your successful blogging, it is an ongoing process which every blogger has to undertake.
Guest posting, commenting on other blogs, participating on online forums, social networking and content syndication, social bookmarking and submitting to business directory sites are amongst the most popular used methods of blog promotion. However undertaking these methods can be quite time consuming, which is why if you’re serious about marketing and promoting your blog, you need some kind of blogging schedule..

Hi John, I’m pleased you have found these directories useful, I know I have, it’s a great list to start working on and getting some much needed exposure to your blog as well as building a few essential backlinks.
Hey Fabrizio,
Are these sites really worth spending time submitting to? If so, how can you measure your success with them?

Hi Ayden, well for sure there isn’t a real effective way to measure the success of submitting to these directories accept for noticing some backlinks gained from them. But I do hope that submitting to them will generate more interest to your blog and therefore get you more readers and followers. Best of luck.
Hey Fabrizio,
I agree with what you said. The backlinks sure are worth the effort. I thought about adding this method to my marketing efforts for a while – I was questioning it because I wanted quantifiable ways to measure it. But as you said, the backlinks are worthwhile – and over time that should help in the SERPs.
