How To Build Link Popularity With Automated One Way Links
One Way Link Building Plan Using RSS Feeds to Build Link Popularity
The most effective link building strategies will utilize RSS Feeds to build your link popularity. RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication and is simply an easy way to mass distribute and publish material on the web. You can easily build RSS feeds into your blog that incorporate your links to blog pages.
When other websites use your RSS feeds on their site it takes and adds a link back to your website increasing your link popularity in the process. You can use programs like (RSS Builder a freeware program) to add RSS to your website. However this is not necessary on most major blogging platform as they have this feature built in. Both WordPress a very common and popular free blogging script available through most cPanel web host and the popular Blogger.com have this capability built in.
RSS is a great way to syndicate your content all over the web. With RSS built into most of the popular blogging platforms it couldn’t be easier to build your link popularity, as each one of these links is a vote for your site. Just like elections vote count counts, the more votes and the higher the ranking of the linking sites the higher your link popularity value goes and the more traffic that comes with it.
A Word about Strict RSS Validation
WordPress for example also has plug-ins, which make it simple for users to add your RSS feed to their favorite RSS reader. You can find many low cost or free RSS readers and most services like My Yahoo and iGoogle along with My MSN already have this capability built in.
You need however to be careful when putting together your blog titles and watch out for their structure. A fair number of the services that allow you to reed your RSS feeds have strict adhesion to RSS Validation rules; for example My MSN will not let you import your feeds if they do not have validated titles. Characters in your title such as quotation marks, apostrophes and such will cause your titles to not validate under these rules and thus prevent a number of people from being able to receive your feed.
This can get tricky when you have a title that really screams out for an apostrophe such as “Today’s Breaking News” great for human consumption but the validator will hiccup at the apostrophe in the word “today’s.” You’ll want to avoid these kinds of things even if it is a compelling title I would suggest rewording it to say “Hot News Today” and avoid the whole headache entirely.
Secrets of Using a Blog Pinging Service Effectively
These simple one-way link-building strategies are possible by intelligently using a solid blog pinging service. Of course, you will need to write interesting and informative content and update your blog regularly for this strategy to work. However, if you provide good value to readers then blog pinging is a wonderful way to get the word out.
When choosing a pinging service to use for promoting your blog or website you want to make sure you can ping multiple services from one website. Now of course it is possible to go to each blog search engine, RSS feed aggregator or directory and ping them individually but this is really not necessary. Also this will take a tremendous amount of time in comparison to using a reliable blog pinging services. You want to make sure the service you pick allows you to do dozens of these from their site though.
A side note we find it works better to ping each service individual this sounds difficult but once you generally fill in the form it is just a matter of selecting the feed service you wish to ping each time and click the ping button. Every service has their pros and cons but the time you save and the links you will build are priceless. A word of caution ping each service only once per post or you could get your site listed as a Spammer. In conclusion you should make it part of your posting schedule to ping every post too.
