Blog directories are huge online listing of Blogs that can point users to your Blog.

Think of it like an online Yellow Pages, but does it actually drive traffic to your Blog?

The answer is yes but I’m not sure in what scale yet.

Why do people join Blog directories?

Firstly people need to be able to find your Blog, readers go to Blog Directories to search for a specific type of blog, and they may find your site, there’s no guarantees but they certainly won’t find your site if it isn’t listed.

Secondly links are important and most Blog Directories have high Google Page Ranks, eg Blog Explosion has a PR of 5, so it may follow that using Blog Directories improves your own Page Rank. Although others hold the belief that Google ignores Blog Directories.

So have Blog Directories sent me any traffic….yes they have, I’ve registered this site and NetBook-Experience on Blog Explosion and:
