Comprehensive List of the Top RSS Directories - Submit Your Feeds For Links and Traffic
If you're new here, please let me know if you agree with, disagree with, love, or hate my posts. Your comments and feedback will help make this site better for everyone. Just use the comment form at the bottom of any post to let me know your thoughts. Finally, as a small reward for those who take the time to comment, I've disabled "no-follow" so your comment will count as a backlink. Thanks for visiting!
One way to put your blog content in front of a lot of eyes is to submit your blog’s RSS feed to RSS directories. Every time you submit your feed, you increase the chance that it will be picked up by someone who’s looking for content - and you’ll get backlinks and traffic in exchange. Also note that you can do the same thing for any site with a feed, such as a lens, hub, Blogger blog, etc.
Below is a fairly comprehensive list of RSS directories to which you can submit your feed for maximum exposure. This list should be current, and I’ve tried to trim away any niche-specific or paid directories. While there are some automated solutions for submitting your feeds to a handful of directories, I will post a follow-up to this article tomorrow detailing how you can add every new feed-enabled website you create to all of these sites with very little effort and zero cost.

I have submitted my feed to some of these feed driectories previiously. However I’m wondering. Do you think people really search RSS directories looking for RSS feed?

Many people use the RSS directories to “fill” their feed reader, yes. Others use them to find feeds to drop into their site.
Either of these things is good, IMO. Readers=visitors. Site content=backlinks.

Kelly,
You said, “I will post a follow-up to this article tomorrow detailing how you can add every new feed-enabled website you create to all of these sites with very little effort and zero cost.” I’d like to see how to do that. Where is that article?
One of the keys to making money online is automation in a non-spam way. That info would be invaluable. I look forward to it and if you could point it out, I’d appreciate it.
Best,
NS
