Website to these places, you should go ahead and create one.
This also includes many social networking site and social bookmarking

Where to submit your Blog or Website?
Let me start the list with Webmaster tools as it will be first step
to get your site on search engines. Submitting you blog to other sites
will help in better indexing and crawling of your blog. Specially when you create a new blog,
it takes time for search engine bots to find your blog and crawl it, by
submitting your site to these Websites which is listed below, it will
help in faster indexing. Though if your sole motto is to let your site
index in no time.
I’m not adding those directories or sites, which asks you to place a
link back to verify the site ownership, as it will be considered as two
way link exchange. Though, there are few directories which are quite
useful and you may consider adding the link for a day or two just for
the verification.
Many of these sites like Alltop requires you to have feed on your blog, so I recommend you to burn your feed using Feedburner before you get started.
Google Webmaster tool:
This is official tool by Google, where you can not only add your
Website but also submit your sitemap to Google. This will ensure, Google
will quickly crawl all your links and index them. More over, GWT works
as free SEO tool for your website. You can apply various SEO techniques using GWT data.
Bing Webmaster tool:
Official Webmaster tool by Bing, and like Google tool, submitting
your blog to this place will ensure your site is visible in Bing.
Alexa :
I’m sure many of you might not see Alexa as a credible source of
ranking information and we have already discussed about this. Though, I
always find Alexa reporting to be useful and close to accuracy and more
over, it’s a useful place to find Keywords.
Facebook:
Facebook could be really huge for your blog traffic if you do the
marketing right. In order to submit your Website to Facebook, you need
to create a Facebook fan page and that’s how you start. Simple and easy.
Google plus:
Like Facebook, we can create Google plus page for our blog or Website and
this works as starting point of your blog footprint on Google plus.
Twitter:
Twitter is one of the famous micro-blogging and social networking site. I already discussed why your Website needs an official Twitter account and
having a profile on Twitter for your blog, will help you to get a free
link. Though it will no follow, but again it’s very useful for blog
branding.
Ahrefs:
This is actually a site to measure your blog backlink and a free
account will let you monitor one complete site. Simply go ahead,
register a free account and under reports > add new domain. Add your
blog and verify your ownership. Now, ahrefs will help you to keep a
track of links to your site. Very useful if you really understand the

of blogs. Submitting your site here and using proper tag may help in
more search engine visibility.

Not a typical place to submit your blog but very useful to keep a
track of your site stats and best part is it’s free stats tool by
Google. Highly recommended for a new site to add Google Analytics on your blog.
BlogCatalog:
Blogcatalog is one of my favorite Web directory to submit a Website.
They manually accept or reject a blog submission, so make sure your site
have enough content before you submit here. Also, while adding your
blog, take care of proper category. Link: BC.
