RSS or Atom feeds are intended for users see the recent posts/entries of their favorite website without really visiting the site. They can view feeds from multiple websites from one single place. Now question is does offering feeds really help on link building? As I know feeds stay private unless a subscriber chooses to make it public or share it. Any thoughts?
www.squidoo.com/deep-links-with-rss-feeds I have gotten quite a few links from submitting to rss directories.
it helps, but maybe you can better concentrate on building your links else where, like on niche websites/forums/blogs
Yah, if you have a one button submit, go for it, but don't spend too much time on this method... try other link building techniques.
This is what I found. In general feeds does not help link building unless the subscriber shares the link with other which is very unlikely to happen. But there is a work around according to the article at Squido (link posted above). You can create a blogger or wordpress blog. Both of them allow you show feeds as the blog element. Best thing about feed links is they are deep links.
I am not much more knowing about it, but i got the link for one of my website in my.opera.com community blog.
