Thank you for the information here. I use Point2Agent to syndicate my listings, however, I bookmarked your list for future use as well.

Karen- You're welcome. This list is for you to be able to submit your blog to for more exposure:-)

Hi Rebecca, I think I will need to give up sleep to work on this list. Thanks so much.

Okay, at the risk of sounding stupid, now that you have gien us the directories what do we do with them? Surely we cannot submit to all. There's not enough time in the day. Is there a way to automate syndication to these?

I'd love to hear about whats in the toolkit and what I can do with those links before I open them up :-)

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks so much for the list. I think I'll cruise through a few and check-em out.

Thanks for the post and the list - will have to take time to wade through it.

Rebecca,

I'm always amazed by your willingness to share. Thanks so much.

Warmly,

Travis Egan

Good info - more work... but really appreciate this tidbit.

I love you...Will you marry me? Just kidding, but I really love the way you share information here on AR. Thanks for the updated links. You're the best!

Thanks for the list. Hey the more exposure I can get the more happier I can be!

If only there was an autodistribution program out there that would syndicate to all those blog directories at once.

That's a lotta research on your part! Thanks for the work. I wil have to figure out how to use your list. Bookmarked for now though.

I like it -- thanks for the list -- it will save some time working wit them

Wow Rebecca, Thanks for all the information it's overwhelming!

Thanks Rebecca, I really appreciate this list and your hard work on it.

I need someone to do this for me. LOL

Gary- That's funny'cause I was going to recommend that you enter the blogcarnival and enter one of your posts under a category of motivation/inspiration.

Vickie- So then you would either outsource or make it an activity to do if you can find a 30 minute spot in the morning before your coffee, or a time during the evening while watching. To be honest....I started submitting and am going to have my 11 year old daughter continue the process for me at an hourly rate:-) I am confident she is going to do a bang up job.

Liz- Those are directories that you will submit your blog to for additional exposure, link love, google juice, audience.

The toolbox will continue to be filled at least once a week on this blog so look out:-)

Lynda- Awesome, give your blog a little link love while you are there.

Bob and Carolin- Don't let it take you away from the money work. Outsource or at least do it in the pocket time, i.e, sipping coffee, t.v. time, etc.

Travis- I am still going to do a meetup/tweetup- Probably meetup first, stay tuned. Oh make sure to join my WI bloggers network on facebook. I will email you an invite.

Ryan- Yup it is all a work in progress, always:-)

John- Thank you for your hearty thanks. I had to do this anyway for myself and my clients, so might as well share. I combined many resources to make this list and then checked each site out, plus did a little searching on Google as well to see what was coming up first. Some directories recently listed just were really dead, trafficked very little, or had died off and so I intentionally excluded them.

Tristan- Exactly right.

Robert- Well there are services that will ping to different directories/networks, but not all. Ping.fm is one.

Alexsandra- Don't feel like you have to tackle the list all at once. Choose a set amount/day if you don't outsource this task.,...AND turn on some great tunes or a podcast you've been meaning to listen to.

Scott- No research and pretty much just data entry.

Robert- <<<SMILE>>>- Don't be overwhelmed.

Barb- I appreciate you coming by and telling me that.

Missy- Good thought. Roll with that.

Rebecca is there any certain blogs that are more geared toward real estate?

Hi Larry,

Real-estate-blogs.com and realtyfeedsearch.com.

Each of these directories, though, has a section for real estate. I wouldn't discount it just because it wasn't specifically real estate. Think of the power all inclusive social networks like Twitter and Facebook have.

I knew there were out there, but that was enlightening. Greg

This is a great list! And thanks for the "outsourcing" love, too! This is exactly the type of project that an agent needs to do but should not handle him or herself. It's an outsourceable project.

~Renae

You are so awesome. I want to be like you when I grow up!!!

What a terrific list! You just have to love AR and how the members go out of their way to be so extraordinarily helpful to other members. Thanks for this!

Kathy

You're one of the instructors I don't mind getting "homework" from. Thanks Rebecca!

Renae- It absolutely is.

Donna- LOL- You are so sweet. Nice to see you here:-)

Kathy- Social is as social does.

Amber- glad to hear it 'cause I will always have something rest assured- lol.

Greg- Glad to spread the light:-)

Courtney- ...and there you go:-)

Oh Goodie! More things to learn and do!

Warning! Warning! Information Overload!

Thom and Ray- I understand, truly, but break it down. Two/per day or delegate to an assistant. Either or works.

Rebecca, I'm late to the party but this list is huge! Are you suggesting submitting our listings? Or all out blogs? If you post on AR and submit to 30 sites, isn't that considered spamming? I know it's okay to do a few times per Matt Cutts, but he did mention 30-40 times being spamming. Thanks in advance for your insight :)

Sharon- This is submitting your RSS feed which is different than copying and pasting your blog's content. It's like submitting your website to webdirectories.

Some popular blogging platforms ping the major directories, but I haven't seen an app. that pings this whole list and I checked all of these directories before I compiled the final list. It was bigger but of course some directories have dropped off since then.

OK, thanks, Rebecca. I don't think I have an RSS feed set up - is there something special you have to do to set that up?

Hello Rebecca,

Thank you for sharing this great list of directories! It's going to keep me busy! Again, thank you for putting it together! I appreciate it!

Chris

Rebecca,

I just discovered your blog and am now going to book mark it. I found this article asa link to your 35 places to post a listing which I reblogged - now I guess I should go ahead and add this as a sister-post.

I have been blessed in my business and have the luzury of a marketing manager...who now has even more places to market...

Thanks and looking forward to more,

John

Wow - you are very thoughtful and generous. And I was wondering what to do with my free time! Thank you!

Something we all can use thanks for doing the research.

Thanks Rebecca, Always amazed at your depth of knowledge in this area!

Sharon- On the right hand side margin of the A/R blog there is a RSS/2.0 button. Click that and then the URL that appears in the address bar of your browser should be the RSS feed for your A/R blog. Now you can take that and burn another one on feedburner or you can use another feed device. I actually will be blogging about feeds before the end of the year, but for now you can follow those instructions and it will work.

Chris- You're welcome thanks for your kind words.

John- It's smart that you have a marketing manager. Makes sense. Glad to share.

Lori- No more wonders right? lol:) you are very welcome thanks for reading.

John- You are so very welcome. Glad to see you on my blog:)

Dagny- Happy to share. I realize now that I will need to update these yearly....the list posts I have (SMILE). Just part of the job, lol. BTW you live in a great part of the country. I used to live in South Salem New York. Ruthmarie Hicks is an active blogger on this platform and she lives in Westchester County New York.
