You’ve just created a business blog – great. You’ve optimised the title tags, H1 tags, H2 tags and ALT tags – superb. Is that all?
Blogging is a fantastic traffic driver and has great SEO benefits for a business website, but the magic doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no magic wand. There’s just a lot of hard work. If you want to build some quick links to your domain and a kick start to online exposure, make sure you’ve checked out all the top blog directories in your niche.
Relevance is everything; if you have a travel website, submit your URL to travel directories; if you have a fashion website, submit your URL to fashion directories. But finding free, one way linking websites that have decent domain authority isn’t always easy for every industry.
Universal Blog Directories to Submit Your Blog To
Yes, it’s true that relevance will get you far. But new blog owners want a quick link juice and domain authority boost – so where to turn? Many SEO experts will also recommend that you submit your blog to high authority directories. There are both paid and free directory listings available, and many websites will offer featured sections with deeplinks at an added cost, but so much choice could cause the ultimate blogger’s mind boggle.
Here are a few top quality directories, chosen by the blog-loving, search engine savvy SEOs at WMG:

If not then you’ll be pleased to know that this is quite possibly the crème de la crème of the blog directory world. Technorati is the biggest and best of the blog web directories.

With Blog Catalog, you can pay for featured positions on the homepage or on category pages.
3. Blogged.com
