Blog Directories are a dime a dozen all over the web, they are popular because they are important. But how do you sift through the many on offer to find the ones worth your time and effort?
To make it easy for you here is my list of 12 Blog Directories that are worth that time and effort, use one or two or use them all, it’s up to you:
- Best of the Web : This is the top of the list, they have very high standard and only allow you to list with them after six months of blogging. A backlink from here to your blog remains one of the more elusive and most revered on the web. (PAID – annual fee)
- Bloggeries : Long list of categories and subcategories allows you to categorise your blog perfectly, easy to navigate for readers. It is fast becoming a premier blog directory (PAID – one time fee and/or yearly fee for Featured)
- AllTop : A Guy Kawasaki venture AllTop is going from strength to strength and is growing in popularity every day. (Free)
- OnTopList: This free human edited blog directory has a full service approach to their directory where you can submit your RSS feed, set up your own mini-blog ranking directory on your profile, socialise with other bloggers, measure and improve your blogs performance, and feed your blog to Facebook and Twitter.. (Free)
- BlogoWogo : A social blogging platform where you can add your blog, create a profile, network with other bloggers, set up a favourites blogs list – a bit like MySpace for bloggers. (Free)
- EatonWeb : A highly ranked directory with it’s own blog rating system, one time review fee but can be well worth it. (Paid- one time fee)
- Blogged : Another interactive Blog Directory come news site, share, rate, and follow, well worth a look (Free)
- BizSugar : While not strictly a blog directory Bizsugar is worth a mention here, it’s relatively new but it is growing fast – bizSugar is a social bookmarking and networking site for small business and medium-sized business owners and managers.
- Blog Catalog : is a huge directory with many categories for blogs of all types and niches, it’s search capabilities are second to none with the ability to search via country, language or user as well as the immense list of categories. Again billing itself as a social blogging directory it allows you to rate other blogs and network. (Free)
- Super Blog Directory : with the featured links and submissions being the latest submitted, so you can always be sure of being on the first page at least once every time you post. (Free)
- LSBlogs : Top ranked blog directory that offers free submission, search capabilities, networking and more. (Free)
- Bloggapedia : one of the better looking blogging directories on the net, they have a constantly updated list of recently listed blogs on the home page as well as users profile pics. Readers can connect to the top blogs and newest posts easily. (Free)

Great list. I have work to do!!!
For those on Facebook I’d like to add the Networked Blogs app. You can add any blog you are reading and search for new ones on there. I read all of the blogs I’m following through this app exclusively. It also has an optional box for your blog of those following you through networked blogs and the ability to autopublish you blog posts to your facebook profile and fan page once they publish. This is great when I schedule posts ahead as I don’t even have to be online for them to post and then to publish to my walls.
Thanks Becky, I love Networked Blogs too and use it as you know
However as it is not strictly a blog directory I hadn’t added, thanks for letting everyone know.

Hey Annie, great list and I agree with Becky about Networked Blogs – I pick up traffic from the ‘auto posting’ function within it.
I notice Technorati is not there. Is there a reason for that?
Cheers and Love, Jen
You’re right Jen and I always make a habit of claiming on Technorati too
Thanks for picking up on my omission – and one of the most important!! and thank you
