Help Search Engines Find Your Blog by Letting Them Know Where It Is

By Susan Gunelius, About.com

An easy way to give your blog a traffic boost is by letting the popular search engines know your blog exists. Of course, many of them will find your blog eventually, but why not help them along by taking the time to submit your blog's URL to some of the most popular search engines?

Follow the links below to submit your blog's URL to some of the web's most popular search engines:

Google

Yahoo!

Technorati (requires you to sign up to claim your blog)

The Open Directory

MSN's Live Search

Remember, submitting your URL to search engines won't suddenly bring an overwhelming amount of traffic. However, it does mean your blog is on the search engines' radar screens and has a chance of being picked up by keyword searches.
