Using RSS for Backlinks and getting great rankings

Hi all,

Just wondering how many of you are using RSS to get great backlinks and great rankings in Google?

Using sites such as feedagg.com to submit your rss feeds is a great way to get quick backlinks to your website, and also feedagg pages rank very high in the search engines.

Two days ago I submitted my squidoo lense feed, and a wordpress feed to feedagg.com and they (the feedagg links) are both on page one. Not a super highly competitive phrase.

But also the backlink power assists.

A super easy way to get large numbers of backlinks is to use a website like friendfeed.com and put all your rss feeds in there, and then submit that to feedagg.com.

Then the feedagg.com and the friendfeed.com can individually rank.

It quite easy to add 20 links very quickly to a site doing this, and all these websites are free to use, and many don't even need registration.

I made a video today showing how I did it on my blog.

The thing is, it's really easy to do, and there are a heap of these feed aggregator sites (like feedagg) out there.

Some even allow you to embed adsense in the feeds. Google obviously recognise the power of rss feeds since the purchased feedburner a while back, and now they offer adsense specifically for rss feeds.

Watch my video then go out and try it for yourself, it's dead easy to do, and the results are powerful.

Also be sure to check out yahoo pipes which is a really cool rss application that enables you to merge and filter feeds.

It's even possible to make feeds for non blogs which traditionally do not have feeds, and virtually all the tools out there to do it are free.

Google even have an api for programmers to do this, but most of the time the free sites do enough for you to not need this unless you doing advanced stuff.

It's very very rare in my experience to find a competitor using rss like this, so I thought you guys might be interested in finding out about it.

I'm in the process of putting together a video/article about using yahoo pipes and will post it here when done.

Cheers

Thanks, I've followed your instruction with sense of encouraging

 

But I heared that RSS basically uses to crawl or index your site..

 

thanks for good informations

 

I would be suprised if the links all counted for something.

Sure putting up your RSS feed on an aggregator is good because if the aggregator is an authority domain, the page for your feed will rank well.

But it doesn't necessarily pass value to your actual website because the links all look the same, same anchor text, same description surrounding the link. It's just a duplicate link, it should be easy to filter out links like these algorithmically.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that this method will actually boost the rankings of the MAIN website?

 

You're thinking about a different method I think..

Where you use an RSS aggregator to embed something like a news feed on your site, I dunno, something like "latest football news".

Because the feed is constantly updated Googlebot is tricked into thinking you update your website often and will crawl your website more frequently. However IMHO this no longer works, because the RSS feed will just show duplicate content that Google should have already indexed.

OR

Perhaps, you're thinking that by submitting your own feed into popular aggregators it will spread your link on other websites using the aggregator and thus will get noticed by Google quicker, helping you to get indexed faster than normal.

 

Sorry for the delay in replying to this, been flat out getting this information consolidated.

I've had more page 1 rankings using these methods since the last post.

Most certainly I have evidence, extensive testing

I had a website that has been on page 2 for the past 3-4 weeks. I submitted the rss feed of this site (to 5 major rss aggregators) and within 12 hours was on page 1. Been there for the past 24 hours.

No other promotion. So most definitely it assists.

It works. Yes they rank well in their own right, but most certainly assist main website ranking in their own right.

Of course I agree it could be filtered out, but then so could a lot of other links, and they aren't.

If you actually look at the various rss feed websites, other than the basic rss text and the anchor text/link, the pages have in many cases got completely different content on them, so it's likely that the page would be seen as mostly unique content.

But in my experience, even if it is considered duplicate content, it probably won't be a problem.

In my testing, I never have a problem with duplicate content, I think people spend far much time worrying about that type of stuff.

I've had the SAME article on three different websites rank on page 1 before as an example of this.

Oh and don't forget Google is big on RSS. They purchased feedburner, and now adsense for rss feeds is available. This should tell you that Google see RSS as big business.

I think this is as big as it was when Google purchased Youtube. RSS is absolutely something you should be focusing on in my opinion.

Not at the exclusion of other methods, but as one part of your plan.

Cheers

 

Thanks For You Give This Information

 

Great info, rss feeds are the way of the future

 

Thanks for sharing the information Tim

 

as the rss feeds are based on content sharing.
Will it result in content duplicacy and if so , google will kill our website. ??

 

thank for information and i follow your information

 

RSS helps.

I have tried that and really the results are good and satisfying.

So always try this its good.

 

This has all the markings of Peter Drew, the Australian behind Brute Force marketing, you can try his software for $1. Not $97...By the way, it only works for long tail keyphrases with results normally less than 30,000.

 

Thanks for the tips, here is an RSS directory which may help http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-directory.htm

 

Thanks! hope this will work on my site too!

 

great post, thanx

thx for the info again

 

great stuff. I have a ton of great content that I have already written before I found out on this plugin, is there any way to get those posts to show up without so blatantly republishing it to my 100+ (not many but still) subscribers?
