Understanding traffic sources is an important element in blog marketing. Blog traffic can come from direct sources, RSS feeds, from other referral sources or from blog search engines.

In terms of blog search engines, Google and Technorati are the largest players. There are quite a number of other blog search engines and directories in use today. Directories are a great place to submit your blog and receive a valued link which will help promote your blog.

Where will your blog traffic come from? For me, I receive about 40% for search engines and 60% from all other sources (direct and referrals).

The following resource list is a great list to research and can be valued sources of traffic for your blog. This is a current resource list sorted by alphabetical order.
