Blogging tips #8.3: submitting your RSS feed to directories

(NOTE: this is part of the “Blogging tips” series)

There are a lot of RSS feed directories, lists, news aggregators and so on, and letting them know about your new feed can only help.

This part is, unfortunately, a bit long and boring, because, so far (this may, and hopefully will, change in the future) there’s no way to do it automatically. You have to go to each directory and add your feed manually.

I could list some directories here, but I don’t believe in reinventing the wheel, so I’ll just link to a very useful list: RSSTop55 – Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites.

As I said, it’ll take some time, and be somewhat boring, but it’s a good idea. And you only have to do it once (for each blog, that is).

Note: if they ask you for an email address, be sure to use a working one, as you have to confirm some submissions by clicking on a link you’ll receive by email.
