Making your blog the bomb- Web Directories.

One of the things that I often get asked is how people can improve their page rankings with search engines.

There are a number of ways you can do this. Of course the first step is to email me at reviews@moroccoblogs.com and let me know about your site.

After that, there is plenty more you can do. Perhaps the single easiest step you can take to get your blog noticed by the search engines is to submit it to SEO friendly web directories.

A good web directory contains a list of various websites which have been compiled by website reviewers. Here are a few to get you started:

DMOZ.org
Jasmine Directory
Yahoo Directory
Business Directory
Best of the Web

Submitting to directories is easy. Just go to the directory, click on submit site, and then enter the information that tells them where to look. Most directories that rank highly are edited by real human beings. This means that it might take some time to actually get your site indexed, but patience is a virtue my friends!

Now, keep in mind that since you are submitting your site to real human editors, you shouldn’t treat this as just another form you are filling out. If you are in a hurry, wait to do it until later.

One of the most important things you can do is to take the time to make sure that you are putting your website or blog into the proper category. That means, if your blog is about restoring a riad in Morocco, that you should find the geograpy or region category, select Morocco, if it gives you the option of selecting cities, select your city, then look at further topics, does it talk about architecture, housing, building, restoration?

The quickest way to make sure your blog is denied is to put it in a category it doesn’t fit in. Take the example above, if you list it in the Morocco Adventure Travel category, the editors will take a look at your site, see that there isn’t anything really about travel or adventure (though restoring a Riad in Morocco is certainly a kind of adventure in itself) and they will take a big rubber stamp and put denied on it.

What have you done in that case? You’ve 1) wasted your time and 2) actually lowered your rankings. Don’t do it!

Wait until you have an hour to sit and go through the process patiently.

Trust me, it’s worth the time you take! Or if you don’t want to do it that way, you can always contact me and I’ll do it for you…of course, I will also make sure it is worth my time!

Keep blogging!

    Hi Vago -

    You ought to include this great Moroccan Social Networking site within your list, which is made by native Moroccans:

    http://www.marocnetwork.com

    Not only you can create your own blogs on this site, but it combines Facebook & Twitter concept altogether.

    Regards,
