RSS Directories - Ping Your Way to Fame and Fortune

Did you know you can submit the RSS feed of your blog to RSS Directories? They'll ping your blog on a regular basis, and bring you lots of new traffic and subscribers. Below are 25 directories to get you started:

2RSS
4guysfromrolla
5z5
ASP Index
BlogBunch
Blogdigger
BlogPulse
DayTimenews
Feed24
Feedbase
FeedBomb
FeedBoy
Feedest
FeedMap
FeedNuts
FeedPlex
Feeds2read
Feeds4all
FeedSee
FeedsFarm
Findory
FindRSS
Free Feeds Directory
Golden RSS Feed
IceRocket

UPDATE: With all the questions on HOW to add your blogs, I thought an addendum would be appropriate here.

Get the feed URL for your blog. My AR blog feed is: http://activerain.com/blogs/dazzled/atom. Often on an outside blog, the URL will be simply http://myblogname.com/feed.

Using 2RSS, the first in the list, as an example, especially since it can be a little more complicated - click on the link that tells you how to convert an atom feed. Take that link and enter it, choose a category and a descsription of your blog, and enter. It's that simple. They will start pinging your blog and your new postings will be syndicated throughout the Internet. The more the merrier, so work your way down the list and add your blog to each of them.

If you want a RSS feed button, you can choose from a whole slew of beautiful colors to coordinate with your blog.

Thank you for the list.

Thanks Kay!

I have no idea what to do with this, but that is why I am hiring someone else to do it.

I know it is important. 8-)

Kay - This is a nice list of RSS directories. Thanks for posting this. You have been on fire lately :)

Hi Kay..I promise, I'm not stalking you...you're sorta like E.F Hutton for me.. (heehee) Okay...dumb questions # 33 you copy your "rss" thingama bob, and copy it into these directories...?? and it's another way to point to your blog??

Great information, Thank you

Rich

Interesting, I didn't know there were rss directories. Do they help with SEO or are they only good for traffic. Also, should I submit to each one or just a few,

I always like to check what you are blogging because I know it will be something great! Thank you.

Kay, Thanks for compiling this list. Now if I can just figure out how to get these sites pinging my blog. sound time consuming but worth it.

Thanks for the list. I will take a peak and add it to my ever growing to-do list! Thanks a ton fro taking the time to share!

Thanks for the extensive list and doing our homework for us

thanks for the great list. I just went through and submitted to a bunch of these. A couple were pay or reciprocal, but majority were free and took you right to the page you needed. Very helpful. Thanks again.

I realized that some of you don't understand the process, so please read my update on how to add your blog to an RSS feed. RSS feeds will bring traffic to your blog, and a good possibly of links to it also.

Kay, I have a questions for you.

Unfortunately my wife just drove off to meet a relative, going through some tough times, worse yet, the reference material for this question, was in the car. So, I'll trudge on and attempt to describe, what I read somewhere.

I like having an advantage over my competition! And if that means Not having an RSS feed on my website, then so be it. It's my understanding that an RSS feed, alows the competition to snoop around on your website, to see Who has been there? What they have looked at?, Etc.,..... If that is the case? Your competition gets to learn tricks you are utilizing to maintain your advantage, which they would certainly copy and use as well. Worse case scenario, then you are also making your site Vulnerable to Hackers?

Please don't miss understand me, I live for techie/techno advantages. But why give the competition any help? Maybe I'm being paranoid, maybe I'm hindering myself and my page ranking and SEO stats, what do you or others think?

Martin, RSS feeds don't pull any analytic data from your blog or site - only the content. You're not helping anyone but yourself by implementing a RSS feed. If I want to learn about how a site gets its rankings, I can do it without utilizing anything but my wits and a few handy dandy tools :).

thank you for the list. very resourceful

Good post, But, unless the actual page you are submitting to (not the home page of the directory) is a pagerank above your own, these directories are useless for backlinks. And any directory that requires you to put a reciprocal is USELESS. Be careful of directories, the only ones that matter are the big guns like Dmoz and Librarians Index.

Mary, these are not link directories. They are RSS feeds and are not used for backlinks, per se. Nor do they ask for reciprocals.

Additionally, your comments about link directories are incorrect. The page does not have to be a certain pagerank to be valuable. One should have links from both high ranking and mid-level directories. Dmoz has lost some creditability and may become obsolete in time, although it is still very worthwhile to get a link from. There are some very good and valuable link directories available that will give a lot of credibility to a site. I agree that one should not put a reciprocal link to a directory.
