Before you can monetize your blog, you need to rank your blog well in this online industry. And to rank it well, you can't neglect the importance of submission of your blog to blog directories.
Blog directories are a collection of useful resources that are available online. Unlike search engines that deliver your site to a visitor only when a particular keyword search is made, a blog directory, perhaps lists your blog or site permanently in its database and shuffles its position and rank as per your blog's traffic over the years.
The various advantages a blog directory offers are:

• Free traffic
• Valuable backlink
• Increases your Pagerank

Perhaps, a blog directory is very useful for new blogs with Pagerank 0. Since, these blog directories have a Pagerank of 4 or higher. This means you are getting a backlink to your blog from a PR4 site, absolutely free. A similar backlink, whereas would cost somewhere around $100 per month. Imagine if you submit your blog to 10 blog directories per day, it would mean 10 valuable PR4 or higher backlins for that day.
This would increase your Google PR in its next update. Moreover, you stand to receive free traffic from them as well.
Below is the list of few top blog directories on world wide web. Try submitting your blogs to them for FREE.
