Blog Directory Submission: Quality Vs Quantity

In the matter of blog directory submission, which do you think should be the primary consideration? Should it be quality or quantity? Let us consider both scenarios.

Quantity

The first thing that comes to mind when we speak of quantity is the more the better, right? If we are to apply this in the context of blog directory submission, this would mean submitting our blogs to all the blog directories that would accept them. This might score some points in exposure but is it the kind of exposure that we want?

That is a question we often have to answer every time we take or do something for the sake of having as many as we can. Is it really worth the time and the effort? In simple terms, do we think our blog’s inclusion in the listing of a particular blog directory would really give any benefit to our blog?

Quality

On the other hand, when we speak of quality, it is implied that we choose the blog directory to submit to. In choosing, there will be standards and criteria to consider to determine which ones would make it to our list of preferred directories. We decide depending on what we want to achieve with our blogs.

The most popular blog directories are expected choices because of their influence. Now whether or not such influence will translate to every blog listed in it is a different story altogether. On thing is clear, blog owners cannot simply rely on the quality of the blog directory but rather provide attention to the quality of the blogs as well. Quality can also pertain to the other blogs listed in the directory. Are they of the standard in which you wish to be identified with?

Quality vs. Quantity

Quantity may prove its value for short term goals like widening exposure but even this is not assured. Quality tend to prove its worth for long-term goals since real results seldom happen overnight. A blog is developed and grows, with blog directory listing forming only one component.

In the end, it boils down to personal decisions. Blog owners will have to determine the formula that works for their blog. Quality has always been associated with what is good and excellent. Excellent work, excellent choices, excellent decisions – all coming together to produce excellent blogs.
