One Way Link Building Plan Using RSS Feeds to Build Link Popularity
The most effective link building strategies will utilize RSS Feeds to build your link popularity. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and is simply an easy way to mass distribute and publish material on the web. You can easily build RSS feeds into your blog that incorporate your links to blog pages.
When other websites use your RSS feeds on their site it takes and adds a link back to your website increasing your link popularity in the process. You can use programs like (RSS Builder a freeware program) to add RSS to your website. However this is not necessary on most major blogging platform as they have this feature built in. Both WordPress a very common and popular free blogging script available through most cPanel web host and the popular Blogger.com have this capability built in.
This is one of the greatest ways to syndicate your content to other sites. Building your sites link popularity couldn’t be any easier with built in RSS capability on your site. These one-way backlinks from these many different sites help build your websites link popularity, as each is in essence a vote of approval for your site.
Be Careful When Setting Your RSS or it Might Not Validate
When using the ever-popular WordPress blogging script you will find a multiple amount of plugins that will work with it. Of these one of the more important plugins for our discussion is the ones that make adding your RSS feed to peoples feed readers simple. One of the more popular ones is available from the website AddThis.com they make a plugin for there popular bookmarking and social networking announcement services.
You need however to be careful when putting together your blog titles and watch out for their structure. A fair number of the services that allow you to reed your RSS feeds have strict adhesion to RSS Validation rules; for example My MSN will not let you import your feeds if they do not have validated titles. Characters in your title such as quotation marks, apostrophes and such will cause your titles to not validate under these rules and thus prevent a number of people from being able to receive your feed.
This can get tricky when you have a title that really screams out for an apostrophe such as “Today’s Breaking News” great for human consumption but the validator will hiccup at the apostrophe in the word “today’s.” You’ll want to avoid these kinds of things even if it is a compelling title I would suggest rewording it to say “Hot News Today” and avoid the whole headache entirely.
How to Effectively use a Blog Pinging Service
Using a dependable blog pinging service makes these one-way link-building strategies even more effective. Now in no way is this a substitute for solid well written content or fast breaking news but can put your link building into overdrive. If you give your readers value then blog pinging is a simple and easy way to get the word out that your site has been updated.
Now when looking for a pining service you are going to want to look for a few basic things. These are a couple of the key things, you want to be able to ping multiple sites from one service. This can save a lot of time over going to each site individually and pinging them at their own site. It is important that the service pings all of the following RSS feed directories, RSS aggregators, and blog search engines such as Technorati from one simple to use form.
Another useful hint is to ping each service separately as they respond at different rates and we find you get a more complete ping of the different services. This really doesn’t take that much more time as your information is already in the form so it is fairly easy to work through the list. There are positives and negatives to all the different pinging services but the time saved and the added links will more than make it worth your while. One last note don’t think that if pinging once is good that doing it multiple times is better this is a sure way to get your site banned as a Spam site, so don’t do it.
