using RSS feeds to get backlinks

[andrewjgitt]

If I syndicate my RSS feed on other websites (ie, they agree to post my RSS feed of articles on their website) will those pages get indexed and count as backlinks? Can anyone show evidence.

I thought this was good idea to provide articles with links in article in anchor text but heard that google does not index rss feeds.

can we get a discussion going on this to shed light and learn something

Also is exchanging articles (with your links in article to your website) beneficial. Exchanging plain links is worthless, but what about articles? Is it worth extra effort to exchange articles on 3 way strategy

Shameless bump,

I have these same questions and would love to learn more about RSS and better article strategy.

Technorati gives now DoFollow links but I'm still to see any improvement.
The rest of the RSS feed directories are a waste of time in my opinion.

Since when does technorati give dofollow links?

I hate it when people use my rss feed because it is usually spammers that are using my data and then my site might get hit with duplicate content penalties. I refuse to rss syndicate my site it does no good.

Technorati has been using DoFollow for a while :)

[Dannyboyonline]

it only works if the the incoming links to your site are do-follow (most are not)

I thought of great RSS idea, please tell me what you guys think

I plan on writing good articles often, and we have spoken that RSS feeds won’t count as backlinks nor be indexed.

So I’ll create a backend database where I create a title link with a 2 sentence summary of the article. And all the article titles with their 2 sentence summaries will be listed on this page. But it won’t be duplicated content, since in the database I’ll create alternative sentence summaries and synonyms so that ultimately it will be unique content and it will always send a unique article summary to each website that agrees to publish my material. And within that summary I’ll be sure to use 1-2 anchor text words related to that article pointing to my website.

The additional benefit is everytime I write a article (which will be at least weekly) it will add content to the page and therefore google will keep indexing that page.

If I do say so for myself, this is pretty smart and I advice others to follow. I would appreciate feedback, especially those that see holes in my theory.

the hidden advantage of publishing RSS is (if you are in hot niche) some people may use that RSS feed on there MFA blogs. Make sure you don't publish feel feeds though. :) Here is a list of RSS Submit directories (http://nbridges.com/seo_tips/submit_your_site_blog_feed_to_feed_directories) resources.

how is that an advantage??

that just puts duplicate content out there that can hurt your seo

and mfa is made for adsense for the last person that asked

I won't use rss on my sites

MFA = Made For AdSense

If you publish your provide Full RSS Feed, and someone scrapes your content, you might get duplicate content penalty (happens with new sites sometimes).

Yes, he's right. Never ever publish your feeds in full! Just give snippets or teasers. Those Made-For-AdSense sites/blogs made lots of money from some other people's hard work. I don't like that at all.
