BlogCatalog is one of my favorite ”tools” to kick start the traffic to a new blog website. When you register and submit your blog people will start visiting or reading your blog. If your blog is interesting, the readers can become your friend. Lots and lots of people do on my account. When I signed up last year and submitted my Web Design Ideas Blog, people started reading and becoming my friends.

Well now if I have a new blog, I can submit it there to my account and tell my existing friends to check it out. This will give the blog an initial kick start of traffic, will get the word out.

BlogCatalog also has a paid option. You can sponsor a category or a subcategory in the blog directory. This will cost from $8 to $25 per month, depending on the category. A well worth investment. Here, you would be paying not for PR but for the actual visitors.
