Right after your designer delivered your fancy looking new custom blog design, you expected a surge in your blog’s traffic, but nothing happened? Even if you have the best blog design ever, you need to promote it effectively to increase incoming traffic. The easiest way to promote a new custom blog design is to send it to CSS Galleries. They will bring good traffic and one-way backlinks to your blog.

What Is A CSS Gallery?

Before talking about a CSS gallery, do you know what is CSS? CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It is the  standard way of styling blogs and websites. If you use WordPress, you already know that every theme you use  have a style sheet built into CSS. It basically controls the look of your blog – the fonts,  the colors, spacing, layout, and more. It is the backbone of your blog design.

A CSS Gallery or a CSS directory is a website which showcases websites with good design. If your blog gets featured on these galleries, it will certainly bring good traffic. The most popular CSS galleries have PR4-PR5 Google PageRank. So it is also a very good way of having one-way backlinks to your blog.

You need to have a unique blog design so that your submissions to the CSS galleries will be accepted. You have no chance at all with a popular blog theme which thousands of bloggers are already using. The main purpose is to give the designers as many blog/website design options as possible to inspire from.

CSS Galleries List

Thanks to Caroline Middlebrook, she prepared a very good list in her post 101 CSS Galleries for Backlinks and Traffic. I suggest you to check the CSS galleries in that post, and start submitting your new custom blog design. I have already submitted, and my blog have been showcased on some of them. See my blog at CSS Creme (Don’t forget to vote!)

Don’t submit all the CSS galleries at one go. Google robots won’t like it at all. Also the galleries don’t accept all submissions. Try to pursue the ones with PageRank 5. If you notice my blog while surfing the galleries, do not forget to vote for me.
