Linking sites through blogs and RSS feeds on MY MSN

Any insight to this strategy...

You start with a site.
Then you build a blog which talks about your site and links to it.

Next you add RSS feeds to MY MSN, MY Yahoo!, MY AOL.

Because MY MSN is high in PR your blog should get spidered and therefore your site.

Does anyone know if it works, or if it might have negative effects?

 

Doesn't quite work that way. Adding your RSS feed to MyYahoo, MyMsn, etc and pinging something like pingomatic.com will get you spidered quickly; however, you don't gain pagerank or backlinks from MyMSN because your MyMSN page is not spidered...you're the only person that can see password protected pages.

 

Actually I have been doing this for quite some time with MSN, but a little differently and it WORKS!

Intead of MY MSN, set up an MSN blog.

Here's mine - MAINLY just used for traffic (PR 4 so far)
http://spaces.msn.com/members/5staraffiliateprograms/

I have links to some of my sites on the left - then I add summaries of my main blog to the blog content and occasionally I will add a new page that I want to get indexed like I did the Free Internet Home Based Businesses link and small article I put at the top of the page.

Then of course I hit the links with my G toolbar on and voila!

 

Very good post, thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

trying desperately not to appear stupid here, but how is this part working out for you? Or more specifically what does this do?

 

Yup I'd like to know as well.

 

Hi Guys,

Sorry, lost track of this post.

Well the G toolbar knows where you go and what link you click so I figure if I click inbound links to new pages or to new sites, it helps G pick up the inbound links. Every time I add my site to a new directory or discover someone new linking to me I also click my links once a day for a couple days just to be sure G gets the link.

I know for a fact that this helps because I have had G pick up brand new sites that were still in development that I didn't even want her to pick up yet and the only way she could have known about them was through my toolbar.

I also keep a bookmark folder of some of my high inbound PR7 and 8 links and click them once a week or so just to remind her they are there. Now thats probably just silly superstition - no scientific basis, just a weird thing I do.

 

Great points, sound very reasonable.

Lets see if other of the 15K+ dp members have had experiences that can confirm.

Untill then I'll certainly take this for valid fact.

 

I've had this work for me as well.

 

Yes, I have built new sites and placed no links to them at all yet Google has found and cached them.

 

Thank you 5*****

Interesting tip. Nice answer.

How about traiding blog pages? Is there any advnatage to having some of my links on your blog versus coming from one owned by me, or just having my links on comments to your blog?
