If you’re a podcaster, you’ll know about some of the places to get your show listed. iPodder.org for one. Podcast Alley and Podscope are two more.
But did you know that there are at least 30 places where you can submit your podcast for inclusion in an online directory or search engine?
Robin Good has published a comprehensive roundup of sites that accept podcast submissions. You probably wouldn’t want to submit your podcast to every single one of them, but this listing makes it easy to choose which is an appropriate place to list your particular podcast.
Robin says:
What I am providing here is essentially the most comprehensive list of all search engines and directories where you can go to submit your podcast feed to help other people find you. By submitting your podcast feed to the greatest number of specialty podcast search engines and directories you increase the ease with which other people can find your podcasts, while making your audio podcast known.
(Missing from Robin’s list is iPodder.org. Here’s how to submit your podcast to them.)
One great tip in Robin’s post – don’t forget to ping audio.weblogs each time you post a new podcast. Here’s how to do that.
If you have a TypePad blog for your podcast, there’s no automatic way to ping audio.weblogs. As with setting up pinging Technorati, there is a manual way – here’s how to do it for Technorati which will also work for audio.weblogs (and any other site you want to ping).
