			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For new blogs especially, picking up a few links from blog directories can help get the search engines to notice your site. But knowing which blogs are best to submit to can be tricky. Here&#8217;s our favorites:</p>
<p><strong>Best Free Blog Directories</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogged.com/">Blogged.com</a> &#8211; Nice, easy to use site. Free listings and a decent place to find other bloggers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spillbean.com/">Spill Bean</a> &#8211; Like this one a lot especially since it took the blod step to not have &#8216;blog&#8217; in its name. Bravo SpillBean.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bloggapedia.com/">Bloggapedia</a> &#8211; Not a lot of blogs listed, which could be a good or a bad thing, but its worth a try.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com">Blog Catalog</a> &#8211; Make sure your blog has a bunch of content before you submit, but once it does Blog Catalog is well worth submitting to.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bloggingfusion.com/">Blogging Fusion</a> &#8211; The header reads &#8220;Total blogs approved this week: ( 2 )&#8221; and its Thursday currently, so although its free I&#8217;m not sure many sites get let in. </p>
<p><strong>Best Paid Blog Directories</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.botw.org/">Best of the Web Blogs</a> &#8211; If you pay for any blog directories, this is the one to pay for. </p>
<p><a href="http://portal.eatonweb.com">Eaton Web</a> &#8211;  Probably the next best paid blog directory out there. $34.99 to list but its unfortunately an annual fee.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bloggeries.com/" >Bloggeries.com</a> &#8211; $39.99 seems a bit steep for a mediocre site, but it is a one time only fee which is nice and would be a nice link to snag.</p>
<p><strong>Worst Blog Directories &#8211; Avoid These</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.biggerblogger.com" rel="nofollow">BiggerBlogger.com</a> &#8211; Total waste of time. You have to register just to find out it costs $1/month to be on the site.</p>
