Benefits of Blog Directories

1. Backlinks - The editorial nature of directories give them a degree of weight with search engines (although how much weight each directory pulls depends on many factors).
2. Traffic - Directories typically don’t send much traffic, but you never know.
3. Research - You can use blog directories to research other bloggers in your niche to network with or subscribe to or build your blog roll. Or you can find bloggers to “pitch” to if you don’t have a blog.
