Once you enter in your particulars (name, email etc…) you get a verification email, and are prompted to “claim” your blog.  The claim procedure is a simple “copy and paste” of some javascript into your landing page. All very straight forward. I’m not sure if this will help increase the page ranking of my blog for the keywords “Eamonn Kennedy”, but we’ll wait and see….

Increase page rank stage 2

Submitted my URL to http://www.dmoz.org the “Open Directory Project”. For more information on this, check out this page http://www.dmoz.org/about.html. The idea behind the ODP, is fairly straight forward, basically, people submit websites to different predefined categories within the “web directory”. It’s a user generated yellow pages for the web.

After submitting my site, I was told it could take from days to months for my submission to propogate across the web. According to it’s own hype:

The Open Directory powers the core directory services for the Web’s largest and most popular search engines and portals, including Netscape Search, AOL Search, Google, Lycos, HotBot, DirectHit, and hundreds of others.

We’ll see.

Finally, this is a pretty cool one, however, you have to manually create an xml file, it if they’re your own photos. A bit slow loading also. But it looks great when it’s fully loaded.
