Tip #15 of 100 - Add Your Blog to Directories
Previously in this series on real estate Internet marketing, we talked about the importance of inbound links in increasing your search engine visibility. Blog directories are another way to acquire inbound links.
A directory is basically a big catalog of websites (or in this case, blogs) that's edited and managed by people. With a blog directory, human editors review blogs for quality and relevance, and then add them to the proper category of the directory's database.
This "human intervention" is what makes a directory different from a search engine. (Search engines also add websites and blogs to their databases, but automatically and without human intervention.)
Directories Equal Inbound Links
Every time a blog directory adds your real estate blog to its list, you gain another inbound link (from the directory to your website). If the blog directory is a niche directory focused on real estate, it's even better because now the inbound link is relevant to your blog. The more inbound links you have, the better your search engine visibility. When those inbound links are relevant to your own website / blog, it helps you even more.
