How you make your blog index quicker, build backlinks and increase your traffic with a task that takes 2 minutes and you only have to do it once

Written by Andrew Rondeau in search engine optimization advice | 75 Awesome Comments - Add Yours?

index blogDo you like the title?

It’s true.

By using the following step-by-step approach, it will make your blog index quicker in the search engines, build powerful backlinks and can provide a steady stream of organic traffic.

How?

Using RSS Directories.

RSS Directories hold millions of links to websites and blogs and are some of the most visited websites on the internet.

By adding your blog’s RSS feed to the RSS Directories, every future blog post you add to your blog, will automatically be added to the RSS Directory. And that means it could potentially be seen by thousands of visitors and your blog will receive a powerful backlink from the RSS Directory.

You only have to add your blog’s RSS feed to the RSS directory once and everything is set up to work automatically.

You can submit your blog feeds manually or use some RSS automatic software.

One of the best RSS Directories for rankings is:

http://feedagg.com/

You do not need an account, you can simply add your feed, like this:

__________________________________________________________________________________

Step 1. Go to http://feedagg.com/ and click on “Add Feed”

rss1

__________________________________________________________________________________

Step 2. Enter your RSS feed URL, your keyword phrases, check the “Tag Separator” by “comma” box, and the number it asks for. Then click the “Save Feed” button.

rss2

__________________________________________________________________________________

Step 3. After a few seconds your feed will be saved. Here’s an example:

rss3

__________________________________________________________________________________

Every time I add a blog post to that blog, the RSS directory FeedAgg will be automatically updated and provide my blog with a powerful backlink which helps rank my site and gets my blog indexed very quickly.

You can add your blog’s RSS feed to these other RSS Directories:

www.feedage.com

www.rssmountain.com

www.myrss365.com

www.postrank.com

www.weblogalot.com

Powerful tip: You can also add your Twitter Feeds, Ezinearticles feeds, Hubpages feeds and numerous other sites.

However, don’t add all these RSS feeds in one day, otherwise Google may think you are trying to ‘spam’ the search engines. Just submit your main blog feed to all the RSS Directories on one day, then a day or 2 later add another feed, then a day or 2 later, another feed, etc.

Remember you only have to submit your feeds once and from then on, everything is automatic.

RSS Directory Submission Software

IS0012LYou can submit all your feeds to all the RSS Directories manually if you wish. But if you want to speed up your submissions and save loads of time (like I do!) I can recommend this tool:

RSS Submission.

I use this for all my RSS submissions. It’s super fast and takes less than 2 minutes to submit your RSS feed to over 30 RSS Directories.

Here’s the link for the RSS tool: Click here to check out all the details to the RSS submitter tool

    My new blog post got indexed in less than a minute after publishing, but my new blog took about 1 week and got indexed once. I think the blog index is depending on how popular is your blog and the age of your blog, backlinks would be in their consideration too. If you have all these, I believe that Google would crawl your blog in daily basis and index your latest post in minutes.

    Usually I don’t submit my blog RSS to RSS directories, but worth to try for my new blog though. Thanks for sharing Andrew!

    Between, am waiting for your next wonderful guest post for my blog haha! :D

    Keep in touch Andrew my buddy.

    Well Andrew I come to one new point after reading this article that submission to RSS directory help for index easily by search engine. I think PR also matter for it. Before when my blog PR was 1, my new post post did not index soon, but after I get my blog PR3 my new post index within a few minutes.

    Hi,
    Andrew Rondeau, this understandable topic. When I show your title I thought this is not interesting topic. But once I read details then I realized, your topic is more useful. I have newly made one blog and it took 2 days to index but not getting more traffic. To get good traffic I will follow your tips.

    I love coming to your blog. I always find out something new. I just added my blog to Feedagg.com as a result of your blog. I will measure the results and post them at my personal site in the near future. I will aggregate maybe a weeks worth of data, before I post.

    I will add the other one over the next couple of weeks. Thanx for these great tips.

    I want to ask some question that some readers may have (that I have): Why is RSS Directory Software really worth the buy? Can’t I just submit my RSS to the directories myself and they automatically update? Do you have a post that explains RSS software better?

      Gerlaine,

      Yes you can submit your feed to the RSS Directories manually and they automatically update. But adding your blog feed to 30+ RSS directories may take you say an hour?

      Then another hour for your Twitter feed, then another hour for your Ezinearticles feed, then another hour…and so on.

      Rather than spending hours…I’d rather spend a few bucks and only minutes. What’s an hour of your time worth? A lot more than this tool, I bet!

    I’ve been putting off learning about feeds, but after reading this post I finally got to submit my feed url to feedagg. I’m not expecting anything spectacular from it, but I guess any additional backlinks gained from it is worth the effort I suppose.

    Andrew,

    For the RSS Bot … would this type of mass-submission not be considered spam?

    So you use RSS Bot to submit to 30 directories and then each time you right a new post they are submitted automatically?

    Did I get it right?

    And how different is this from having rss directories that are automatically “pinged” inside our blog?

      Let me take each of your questions in turn:

      For the RSS Bot … would this type of mass-submission not be considered spam?

      As long as you spread out the different feeds over a number of days…then no. For instance, today submit your blog rss feed. Tomorrow submit your Twitter feed, day after your FaceBook feed and so on.

      So you use RSS Bot to submit to 30 directories and then each time you write a new post they are submitted automatically?

      Did I get it right?

      Yes and you automatically get 30 backlinks.

      And how different is this from having rss directories that are automatically “pinged” inside our blog?

      In most cases, the ‘pings’ just ‘tell’ the directories you have add a new post and won’t provide a backlink.

      I hope this helps.

    Very nice article about automatic link building. Using the RSS directories has been something I have read about before, but it always seemed like a big hassle and I was getting good traffic without it, but now I can at least throw something at feedagg easily. Hopefully it will help with backlinking and will inspire me to get setup at more of the RSS directories.

    Thanks again!

    Good post Andrew,

    Although i’ve known about RSS submission directories for a while, it was the first time i heard about RSS Bot. Was curious, does the bot build links in a way that looks natural to search engines such as Google?

    If so, might be worth a look.

    Thanks,

    Just had to thank you for making things so simple and for calling my attention to this fast-easy to do backlinking tip I’ve missed!

    I’ve just been an web article writer for two years and I’m trying to get myself educated more about SEM and building traffic because of the price dilution of writing articles.

    Signing-up for paid access for more info on SEM/traffic building can be expensive too for beginners, so I am real thankful for bloggers like you.

    There are so many things to learn that it can get confusing. So I am bookmarking your site to make sure I’m on the right track in the important matters.

    Big thanks again.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for this post, it reminds me to make sure I actually do this, it’s one of the easiest ways to get backlinks to your site, but it’s something I usually forget to do because I generally focus more on other backlinking methods. I hadn’t fully realized how beneficial getting backlinks via RSS directories actually was.
    I’ll pay more attention to this in the future.

    When I started internet marketing I thought it was going to be easy, but there is a lot to learn. You don’t just put up a website and people will come. RSS feed are something I need to learn more about and your blog on submitting your website to RSS Directoties was very helpful and easy to understand. I am now going to check out your other post then submit my site to RSS Directories.
    Thanks for the help

    RSS directories are a big thing nowadays and they can bring you a ton of traffic. Usually if you publish a new post the rss directories are automatically alerted instantly if you have done the legwork of submitting your RSS feed to the major RSS directories.

    Cool, just read this second blog post and it answered all the questions I had about rss, except for one.

    In WP, the default setting for number of posts to submit to a feed is 10. Obviosly I want backlinks pointing to as many posts as possible, but if I raised it to a number like say…200, would that be considered spamming? Would they reject my submission or even ban me? This is the only question I have left…I’ll check back in a couple days.

    Thanks again

      Mike,

      The default of 10 means the number of posts that are displayed in your feed…not the number that are submitted to your feed.

      All posts will be submitted to your feed but when set to 10, only 10 will be displayed at any one time.

    Wow, really awesome article. It should help me out a lot. I am actually doing an experiment right now to see if I can make one new blog each day, backlink to each blog, backlink everywhere else, and do it all without using any money, only time. Obviously it will take more time, but this is an experiment because some people don’t have money upfront to pay for costs. Once you get a few dollars, then purchase the cool tools that cost money. Check out my blog about what I’m doing. Thanks for the great tips! This is an awesome and very useful website.
