I have set up 20 blogs for spin off's of articles on my main blog. What is the best way to get my rss feed out there and recognised by blog distribution chanels? I have read that aggregators could be the best way to do this, but which ones are the best? Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.
The best way is to just have one blog, not 21. To get your RSS feed out there, write compelling, amazing articles that people will want to read, link to and subscribe to.
Perfect! lol Spinned content is of no use. It can take you no where and people start disliking it. Your main blog also loses reputation, if it has any. make quality content on a single blog and be sure that the site is SEO optimised. Or, i have some other idea. Build inlinks to your main blog. Write your main blog for humans and the other 20for search engines
Just like the other people have said, focus on one blog, not 21. I have 5 blogs, and barely have time to post on 3 or 4 of them. So I have no idea how you would be able to maintain a steady posting rate on 21. Sooner or later the quality or quantity of the articles is going to go downhill. And then there is the human factor. With trying to update 21 blogs, what about your real life, such as hobbies and relationships? With dedicating so much time to your "blogs", other things in your life will probably be neglected. Focus on 1 main blog, and then "maybe" 1 or 2 minor blogs. Meaning the minor blogs might get updated a few times a month. Once you have content on your main blog, submit your blog feed to RSS directories. Just do a google search for them. After the blog directories, sign up on forums that have the RSS feed not to your username. Be sure to sign up on forums that are related to your blogs content. This will put a link to your most recent post in front of a target audience.
This was the thought pattern behind 20 blogs, I only really want traffic to my main blog. the other 20 were to build links in to my 3 websites & my blog, however i am not sure if this ia an ethical method
I am doing this same exact thing, but with my forum. To help funnel traffic to my forum, I have 3 portal sites. I had 4 but did not have enough time to post content on all of them. I'll post an article in my forum. Then post a different version of the article on my blog. At the bottom of the blog post is a link going to the forum thread with some kind of comment like - "if you want to comment on this article, visit this thread in the forums." Instead of visit this "thread" - I'll use tarted keywords with anchor text. Such as the title of the thread in the forum. One of my blogs is my forums #1 source of targeted traffic. The bounce rate is something like 8%. And the blog sends my forum about 8,000 - 10,000 uniques every 30 days. If you created all of those blogs with the sole purpose of building traffic and backlinks to your main site, I think you over built. I found it difficult to update 3 portals with quality content, much less 20.
Bingo, give reason for people to subscribe and read. Give reason for them to link to your site because your content is so great. People will start talking about it and your popularity and traffic will grow naturally due to the quality content
While 20 blogs may seem like an easy way to get backlinks, the amount of time you have to put into them will probably get overwhelming unless you can automate it.
Granted that you have put up 21 blogs. How in the world are you going to update all blogs? It will eat up a lot of your time for sure. Unless you plan on outsourcing content. But that's another story.
Hello, Now as others have been saying, you need to make sure you have good QUALITY articles. Now, this is going to be one of your best ways to get traffic and make sure that your readers want to stay, but while your making them quality make sure they are unique as well. Next thing when it comes to marketing blogs, you really need to look into article marketing. Create nice articles and submit them to article directories and have them link back to your blog. This will help bring alot of traffic back to your site. Use sites like: Ezine Articles Hubpages GoArticles and more.
cheers for the advice guys, its helping me understand a lot more. The main blog is a feed to our e-commerce site, and the other blogs are for link building to the blog and site. I currently outsource my articles in the uk. I put a unique article on the main blog, I then put variations of the article on the other 20 blogs ( this takes about an hour). I then use different variations of the article for article distribution to respected directory sites (again manually) overall there is probably 5 variations of the original article, but the original will always go on my blog first and will never be replicated.
