A few useful clarifications and an action plan that build on points from , and others without re-suggesting directory/submission tactics already covered.

Directories: some directory advice in older replies (for example DMOZ) is outdated — DMOZ is no longer active — so mass directory work is low-return today (DMOZ).

Concrete, high-ROI checklist (30–60 day focus):

  1. Set up tracking and indexing: add the site to Google Search Console, submit a sitemap, and review Performance to find queries that already show impressions.
  2. Fix speed and mobile UX: run PageSpeed Insights and the Mobile-Friendly Test. Prioritize image optimization, server response time, and a responsive template.
  3. On-page signals and schema: tighten title tags and meta descriptions for long-tail travel queries (example: "7-day Annapurna trek itinerary"). Add structured data for places and attractions (see TouristAttraction schema) and FAQ markup where relevant.
  4. Content architecture: build region/itinerary "pillar" pages (Kathmandu, Pokhara, trek routes) and link shorter posts into those hubs. Update old posts with current info, local contacts, maps and packing checklists.
  5. Visuals and lead capture: use descriptive image filenames and alt text, compress images, embed maps, and add an email signup for itineraries or a monthly Nepal guide.

Promotion that converts: prioritize partnerships with local tourism boards, guest features on reputable travel sites (editorial coverage), and repurposing best posts into short video/photo stories for Instagram and YouTube to drive discovery.

Cautions and measurement: avoid automated submission services and low-quality link schemes (as hinted, automated lists rarely give good traffic). Use Search Console and Analytics to pick the pages to fix first — small improvements to CTR and speed often beat chasing lots of low-quality links.

I would rather have you spend time writing quality posts on your blog than submitting to directories. Quality content will make visitors bookmark your site and keep them coming back. Sure directories will increase your link count, but the amount of traffic you get from them is typically small.

I'd have to agree, I haven't seen a whole lot of activity coming from blog directories. However I have done some backlink work on different related sites that involve topics I may discuss. I've also noticed that twitter is helpful because you get to give a subject and the link.

Submit your blog to blog directories, blog commenting and RSS Feeds helps. Engaging on other techniques such as article submissions, classified ads, social bookmarking, press release and forum posting helps.

Directory submission does take a lot of time, there is not too much affect, however it is still helpfull. I usually just use semi-automated free service at http://www.easysubmits.com and their list is more than enough for me... :)

Try to create more accounts on social bookmarking sites, because it is very helpful, it can gain more traffic, like stumbleupon, digg, propeller, and a lot more.

Blogs just like websites are working based on queries and finding the pages and by using the keyword suggestion tools, you first of all need to know what topics to write about for generating traffic.

Only use the best directories, add listing in too many of them takes time and energy and it's sometimes worthless. Dmoz, Yahoo directory, Look Smart, Best of the web are the best ones.
