Do you want to submit the RSS feed of your website to tons of RSS directories? Do you need greater exposure and visibility for your content but don't know where to go? Stop wandering. In this guide you will find the best and reliable blog directories and RSS submission sites to make your website known. Until a few years ago the web was populated by web sites and other HTML-based content pages, thus the main vehicle for reaching content was the large use of major search engines and directories. But as a rapidly increasing number of content sources started to leverage RSS as a key distribution channel, the ability to maintain high exposure and visibility has found an ally in RSS feed submission sites and directories.
The problem with RSS directories and submission sites is that there are so many of them that it is almost impossible to have the time to track and try each one. Especially if you run more than one website, finding and testing all the RSS directories out there makes up for a positively extended nightmare: trust me.
I have been inspired and prompted to collect all these RSS feed directories and submission sites by my own need to support skilled change agents and communicators like the ones I personally support (Sepp Hasslberger, Chris Gupta, Ivan Ingrilli) and also by the nice initiative of Ari Paparo to collect a set of online resources where anyone could easily submit her new blog / RSS feed.
Over the years, this list of RSS directories has been updated many times and it has recently crossed 250 RSS directories, which make up for a truly unique collection of venues that you can use to achieve greater visibility for your website content.
One of the key benefits of this list of RSS directories and blog submission sites, is that this resource provides all of the submission links directly, so that you don't have to waste any time at all to find any RSS directory at each destination site. This by itself is a significant effort, especially as a number of sites make it consciously hard to find this info, in order to discourage spam and superficial or automated submissions. In some cases, I have been able to dig out valuable emails and contact forms after a lot of searching.
For this resource to be useful to as much people as possible, I have decided to focus only on English-based global directories and not to include any regional or geographically limited directories. I have also dropped any service that did not look completely reliable or trustable.
Other lists of RSS submission sites available online are either too superficial, not updated (including many web sites that either do not work or are not reliable) or are just listing many search services and tools which do not rely on manual submission to become aware of new blogs sites and RSS feeds.
The directories to which to submit your RSS feed are listed in reverse chronological order (first up the most recent and newly added ones; down bottom what I have collected first) and NOT according to any importance order.
