In an attempt to wade through all the junk sites that pretend to talk about search engine optimization, i’ve started a small list of sites that actually discuss the topic in an intelligent way, contributing something valuable to the debate, and don’t just try to sell you something. I will try to keep this list short, and up to date, so check back occationally.

Most of these sites monitor (and speculate on) current SEO trends, track changes in search engine policies/algorithms, and explore various marketing theories/techniques. They tend to look at the bigger search engines like google, bing, and yahoo. Many experienced (resisted the urge to say ‘seasoned’) SEO experts cluster around these sites, which makes their forum sections especially valuable for learning about the topic in general.

Additional articles and information:

These sites were once in the “little list” but have fallen from grace..
They remain here mostly because they still have something useful to add, but may not be updated as frequently or as completely dedicated to the subject.

RSS Search Engine Marketing (RSSEM) is a term i keep reading about, and many sites are using rss technology to boost their site ranking. Listing rss feeds on these types of sites has the dual benefits of, additional visibility (on the rss directory), and increased inbound links (higher overall site ranking).

These are a collection of sites that are either directories themselves or provide useful links to site that will list your weblog or rss feeds. Note: most webmasters caution site owners no to submit to too many directories at once, and this may raise a red flag with major search engines like google, and result in some form of penalty which would utlimately affect your site’s ranking. The best advice seems to be to grow your links slowly, intelligently (because we are not robots), consistently, and over a significant amount of time.

Sites with links to directories:

List of Directories:

  • 2RSS.com – RSS feeds, RSS directory, RSS software, RSS scripts, RSS articles, RSS syndication, XML, RDF, news.
  • Blogdex – is a research project of the MIT Media Laboratory tracking the diffusion of information through the weblog community.
  • Feed Shark – Submit your RSS feed for free!
  • Daypop – a current events/weblog/news search engine
  • Syndic8 – is a directory of thousands of syndicated feeds from around the world.
