I guess I should post something that you might find useful. Below is a short, but growing list of directories and social bookmarking websites where you can spread your blog and website links around. This is the first thing you should be looking at for free traffic and back links to your blog or website!

I will keep it updated with new directories and sites than I find. Any sites that are defunct or are NOT free to submit to will be removed. Keep in mind that a lot of the free directories also have paid submissions, which generally list your site faster or give you a better position.

Paid-only directories will be added at the very bottom in their own category in case you’re interested.

I could use a nice kick of motivation right now. I’m not doing so well with my new blogs. I’m thinking of dropping one or perhaps all of them. While I made a sale on one of my old blogs, I’m barely making anything on these. I’m getting hits but few clicks. And I’m almost ready to abandon ___ Group marketing. I’ve got a few visitors from there, but it almost doesn’t seem worth it. Maybe I’m missing something? Doing something wrong?

Don’t think I’m losing all my motivation. I’m not quitting internet marketing, that’s for sure. But I’m not so sure about these Blogger blogs, which I’m updating every day and getting practically nothing. My older blogs weren’t exactly making bank when I first started them, but I didn’t put nearly as much effort into promoting them. Anyway, just updating you guys on what’s going on. A few weeks ago I was ready to grab the bull by the horns with these new projects, but now I’m seriously thinking about abandoning them and sticking to working on these old blogs.

Maybe it would be easier if I made one new blog for now and just focused on that. At least then I could write up blog posts in advance, and spend the rest of the time finding ways to promote it. We’ll see, anyway.
