Directories rarely provide much direct traffic. The bulk of the value of a directory listing is in how search engines evaluate the links. Occasionally, you will find a general directory that does provide good traffic – that is the exception more than the rule.

Niche directories tend to drive decent traffic. Any site that ranks well in related search results may be a good place to get a link, because ranking for relevant search queries means they stand a good chance of being a well-trusted link source and sending you direct visitors.

Believe it or not, Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication also popularly known as RSS is one of the most effective yet simplest ways to add value to a certain site. So here's the Top 8 RSS Optimizing Tips:

1. Instead of the usual 10 items, give 20 or more items.

2. Most people prefer full text feeds so it's best that you don't use partial feeds

3. Organize your feeds by category

4. Include an eye-catching description of your site.

5. No tracking codes or URL

6. Free is good.

7. Rich Site Summary that contains enclosures (e.g. podcasts etc.) can get into additional Rich Site Summary directories and engines.

8. Google Sitemaps supports feeds. You can submit an RSS feed if you don't have an XML sitemap

You may have hear it here and there, get links, get lots of links to your website. By getting links, it is the solution to your website problem. Well, what people are saying is not a myth according to my experience and I believe that they are true.
Getting a related backlink to your site will boost up the authority of your site in the eyes of search engines. Having related and relevant content with each other's site represents the legitimacy of your site to search engines that it is not just another spam blog. The whole idea about related backlinks is that as long as it is relevant, related and natural then it's all good.

Recently, I joined the BlogRush Network. Within days of using it, the BlogRush network announced that it will begin to work on moving to Phase 2. Phased 2 is just one of many major phases to come within the first 6 months to come.

I've used BlogRush for a few weeks now and so far I've gotten a fair amount of referrals or traffic from them. BlogRush only allows blogs in Englis to jopin the network, but I've seen a few chinese language blogs using BlogRush. Fortunately, in Phase 2, BlogRush will begin to detect and delete non-english blogs and spam blogs that are contaminating the network.

As you can see, there are more options, more reporting and definitely more features!
