To earn revenue and for bringing targeted traffic to our blog, we need lots of link building with quality content. And submitting our blogs on major blog directories is the first or basic step in this direction. Today, there are thousands of blog directories available where we can submit our blogs and many more directories are created everyday.

So submitting our blog to hundreds or thousands of such directories will be really time consuming and tedious task. So the idea is submitting our blog on just top blog directories may be on top 5 or 10 or even on top 20. So here is the list of my top 10 popular blog directories where you can submit your blog:

1. Best of the Web blog directory - was originally started in 1994 by Brandon Plewe when he was a student at the State University of New York. And he recently launched the ‘Best of the web blog directory’. This directory is very selective about the acceptance of blogs and accepts blogs that are really valuable and are in existence for quite some time. So a link from this blog directory can do lots of wonder for you. So it is worth submitting your blog in this directory. Before submitting your blog here in this directory, you must be satisfying their ‘Terms & Conditions’ and especially check this term:
   

   The blog I am suggesting is in an active blog, with six months or more of postings, is in the English language, contains substantively unique content, and does not already appear in the BOTW Blog Directory.

2. EatonWeb the Blog Directory - They are claiming this directory being the oldest blog directory on the internet with Page Rank 7 registered in 1997. Once our blog is accepted here in this oldest blog directory on the web, our blog authority in its niche will automatically increase. Each blog that is accepted on EatonWeb gets three rankings: Strength, momentum and overall.
3. Blog Catalog Directory - is one of oldest social blog directory where we can share and view blogs of our choice. We have to register to submit one or more of our blogs here. This blog directory has wide range of categories and is offering search ability by country, language or even by user.

6. Blogoozle - They are accepting free as well as paid blog submission. Blogs under free review must have page rank 1 at least and for paid review, blog owners have to pay $7. Some of important guidelines from Blogoozle that blogger should go though before submitting their blogs here in seo friendly blog directory:

Blogging can be a great resource when you are thinking of making money on the internet. I know hundreds of bloggers who are able to make good amount of money using blogs. There are some bloggers who are making their living out of blogging. When it comes about making money from blogging, you are not going to invest even a single dollar in your online business. So in case you are willing to earn some money online, keep on reading….

On the internet, there are many websites where you can create blogs for free like blogger.com, wordpress.com, blog.com, myspace.com, weebly.com, vox.com. But most popular blogging sites are Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, where people really love to blog about the things they are most passionate about. Both of these blogging platforms have great facilities and one can start making some money from their blogs instantly by using the affiliates programs of their niche.

Before setting up a blog on any of blogging service, you will need to decide the niche and the keywords you will be targeting in your future blog. There are many areas one can blog about like ‘Some Financial issues’, ‘general Health issue’, ‘Travel related’, ‘About Celebrities’, ‘Products Reviews’, ‘About money making ideas’ etc. But the best idea for blogging will be to blogs about the things you are most passionate about. To blog about a particular topic or niche, you don’t need to be an expert of that. But you must have the passion for that and will need to keep on adding relevant post to your blog about that topic.

So once you have decided the topic for your blog, you should start adding relevant posts on your blog. You can begin with writing small general articles or reviews about the topic of your choice.

There are plenty of ways you can earn money from blogging if you are able to drive some traffic to your blog:

Google adsense

According to me, Google adsense is the easiest way to earn some profit from your blog. Google Adsense is a pay per click program where the bloggers are paid for every click that are made on the Google adsense ads placed on their blogs. You must have seen “Ads by Google” on many blogs in their sidebar, footer, within post or even in their header. To use Google Adsense, one need to apply for it with a blog and once approved by Google adsense Team, can use the Adsense ads on his/her blog. Google adsense offers contextual, image based and search based ads that blogger can place on their blogs. Adsense ads are highly customizable and are available in many formats like 160*600, 250*250, 200*200 etc. Bidvertiser is also a pay per click program like Google adsense.

Affiliate programs

There are thousands of affiliate programs available on the internet that bloggers can use on their blogs. In case of affiliate marketing, you are paid for each sale that you generate through your blog and not just paid for every click. To earn profit from affiliate programs, one can make post targeting some specific affiliates and even can add the banners and links for affiliates in their sidebar, header or footer. But to get maximum success with affiliates, one should aim at the products and services that are some way related to their blogs. If you have a weight loss blog, go for weight loss specific affiliate programs. Some of best affiliate programs include Amazon.com, Commission Junction, ClickBank, LinkShare, Google adsense products.

Text Link Ads

Bloggers can make some handsome amount of dollars every month from their blogs by adding text link ads on their blogs. There are many websites that pay to bloggers for placing text link ads on their blogs like textlinksads.com/, linkadage.com, textlinkbrokers.com etc

Selling Advertising

Selling the space to advertisers on your blog is the best and consistent revenue stream a blogger can dream of creating on his blog. If you have a blog that is very popular in a particular niche, you have great chance of selling some advertising space on your blog. You can charge hundreds of dollars for placing a small banner for a client in your blog sidebar. And you have more space available in your sidebar that you can use to sell more space to advertisers on your blog. But to get this kind of advertisers for your blog, your blog must be very popular and should have stable reader base.

Using paid blogging

There are many websites on the internet like payperpost.com, reviewme.com that pay to bloggers for writing reviews for their affiliate products and websites.

So it’s not really difficult to make money from blogs. One can earn high amount of money from the list of resources suggested in this post with their blogging skills.
