My First List of Article Directories
As I have mentioned before, I am now submitting my blogs and selected articles to directories. This is because I truly believe that such directories can help a lot to expose my blogs. Now I would like to share with you the current article directories where I submit my quality articles regularly:
Article Marketer
Their small but proud banner that states that they are the world leader in article submission is very believable. This is because of its popularity worldwide and quality articles they approved. Their moderators are very strict in terms of everything, from grammar to punctuation marks, headings and capitalization. No wonder one must wait for five business days before the article will be approved. But initially, they have this automatic checker that check and suggest changes if needed. Right now, I am still waiting for their approval of my post because I have to re-write my previous posts because of their suggestions.
9 RULES
This site was originally launched in 2005 and has nine rules they try to follow. Besides submitting articles to them which they call “clips”, you can also post discussions on different categories which they call “notes”. Moreover, you can vote for your favorite clips by simply clipping it and special awards will be given to users with high points. Lastly, you can “pimp” your profile by buying headers from their store using earned points.
Copy Paste Articles
What is so unique about this directory is that you do not need an account to submit an article, and there is no limit of number of articles you submitted. After your article has been approved by one of their moderators, you will receive an email for your confirmation. In addition, you can use tags or keywords that you think that are suited for your articles, which means there are no specific categories.
Recommend US
Another simple but growing article directory where you can submit unlimited articles based on different categories. You can submit articles from other blogs, too. Moreover, viewers can recommend and bookmark their favorite articles, as well as post their comments, provided that they are logged in. As of this posting, I have submitted them 24 quality articles which makes me the 2nd top submitter.
Article Highlight
This is my favorite article directory so far. This is because once your article has been approved by the owner himself who has very strict standards; there is a big chance that he will post them on his showcase which will lead to one of his high quality blogs, depending on the category. Another great thing is that your link and username will be highlighted in his other blogs which proves that you are still the author of your own article.
If you have comments on these directories or suggest other directories, please feel free to do so. Thank you very much.

My Articles Directories
This is a list of Article Directories where I submit my quality articles. So if you want to view them, please choose any or all of them. I will try to submit more in the next days and update this list if I find them interesting to submit to. They are helping me in my traffic and I am pretty sure they can also help you.

Thank you and enjoy reading.
Useless Directories
While I am searching for some directories where I could submit my blogs, I came across with Dave X. Smith’s site. According to him, he has been experimenting with the most popular blog directories and rating services for more than six months. He complied this and I think it is my responsibility to share it to you.
blogadr.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses Popup link, cluttered with Adsense
blogburst.com - Absolutely usless spammy service
blogdigger.com - Plain junk, search engine doesn’t even work.
blogflux.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
bloggernity.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
blogrankers.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
blogroll.net - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
blogtoplist.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
fuelmyblog.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
topblogarea.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
topblogging.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
top-blogs.com - No traffic, no juice, Uses jump link to link out
And finally, this one really strikes me.
blogskinny.com - Never, ever submit here, they will spam you to death
These Blog directories all flow “link juice” and are organized and not cluttered with junk ads in the viewing area. Don’t waste your time submitting to the blogs listed above and certainly don’t pass your valuable linking power to them. The blog directories below are your best bet for promoting your blog and for passing linking power (because they pass it back).
Although I already replied to his post, I would like to thank him again here. If I will still find similar directories, I am very much willing to make a separate post.
