Today we are going to discuss the top list of Websites, directory and places where you
should submit your blog. Most of the sites listed here are free and if
you are creating a new blog or website or have not submitted your existing
Website to these places, you should go ahead and create one.
This also includes many social networking site and social bookmarking
profile. It’s not an extensive list like 1000 sites or something, but
I’m creating a list of those sites which are important and will be
helpful in either search engine ranking or tracking your site report.

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.
