Promoting Your Blog links

• Daypop Updated daily, Daypop offers top 100 lists as well as some intriguing indexing of most-linked-to news stories and blog posts.
• Technorati Indexing more than a million weblogs, Technorati also has a beta version of a blog keyword search. Their subscription-based 'Watchlist' service could be very useful to bloggers and commercial site owners alike. The Technorati "cosmos" feature is useful for seeing who is linking to who.
• Popdex This current-events news & link spider crawls more than 14,000 blogs every hour and generates a website popularity index based on inbound links and the popularity of the sites making those links.
• Weblogs.com A list of recently updated weblogs recompiled every five minutes. Though it's from the Radio Userland folks, it shows results for all weblogs set up to notify weblogs.com of new content.
• GeoURL Click on a world map and get links to blogs (and strangely enough, restaurants) within a 500 mile radius. The list of 7000 cities is helpful for the geographically-challenged. Multiple listings and commercial spamming appear to be having an adverse effect on the usefulness of this extremely interesting application.

• Weblogs Compendium This site offers a good selection of links to blogging resources such as blog hosting companies, tools, RSS information, etc.
• Blogdex A list of "the most contagious information currently spreading in the weblog community."
• BlogStreet Another site with a couple of Top 100 lists. The Top Books feature, decided by counting blog links to books on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Powells, is particularly interesting.
• Blog Census The NITLE weblog census is an attempt to find as many active weblogs as possible, across all languages.
• Blizg A searchable blog directory of about 2000 sites with the emphasis on metadata. It will become more useful if bloggers become more metatag-savvy.

• Blogroots A companion site by the authors of We Blog, Blogroots offers a very comprehensive list of resources for bloggers and blog afficianados.

• The Ageless Project A directory of about 1700 blogs categorized by the birth year of the blogger. If it's all about age, why is named "ageless"?
• The Truth Laid Bear TTLB has an interesting list of average daily traffic to almost 900 blogs that use Site Meter for their stats. The New Blog Showcase is another interesting feature.
• Ehsany.tk Free templates for Blogger (English) and Blogsky (Persian).
