Do 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.
Every time I add a blog post, the RSS directories 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 RSS Directories:
http://www.feedage.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.

Pascal,
I thought I’d play with the title and see what reaction I get!
It’s worth submitting you feed to at least, http://feedagg.com/
Andrew
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.

But are you going to make use of the RSS Directories?
Andrew
Yes I submit RSS directory, That you mention here I have already submitted my feed url to those directories.
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! 😀
Keep in touch Andrew my buddy.
Cheers,
Lee
Lee,
It’s definitely worth submitted your feeds. I think you’ll be surprised with the quick results.
Re: Guest post. I know, I know – on my list! Just trying to fit everything in.
Andrew
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.
Chris
The traffic you get from the RSS directories will very much depend upon your blog’s niche and the title of your blog post.
Andrew
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´s last blog ..Gerlaine Talk Refocus… =-.
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!
Here’s a video of me using the tool: Use RSS feed submission to gain more blog traffic
Andrew
Okay now that is definitely worth a shot! 🙂 Thanks for this easy tip. Gotta go now, I have a RSS feed to send to a certain directory. 😉

Nice Andrew, I remember seeing this kinda tip once like months ago, then nothing..it is quite powerful.
Have you personally seen traffic spikes since starting it?
.-= Dennis Edell´s last blog ..Simons Running A Contest – Over $800 In Prizes! =-.
I do this from day one of starting my blog, so no real traffic spikes. However, it does build backlinks very quickly.
Andrew
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?
Krizia
.-= Healthy Eating @ Eat Smart Age Smart´s last blog ..Meatless Mondays: Powered-Up Veggie Sandwiches =-.
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.
Andrew
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.
.-= James M.´s last blog ..PHP Referrer: Displaying The Referring Page =-.

I think getting automatic backlinks every time you post is worth the 5 minutes effort of adding your feed!

Yeah this is an best way to get indexed in search engines I agree with the fact.
Yes, dding your bog feed to RSS directories is one of the best way to promote your site, get more baclinks and to get your p;ost index fast.
Thank for the RSS directories…
Andrew,
I am totally new to RSS. But I now understand the importance of submitting my site to RSS-Directories.
Also it helps to index backlinks to my pages in Search Engines like Google.
Thanks a lot for this post.

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!
Jameson
It is worth doing – only takes a few minutes for each RSS Directory.
Andrew
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,
Dwight
Dwight
It does – as long as you only submit each feed once and only one feed per couple of days.
Andrew
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.
CelinaMac,
You are welcome and hope to see you back very soon.
Andrew
I’ve just got to get around to this one day. I haven’t put a lot of focus into the RSS feed side of my sites. It just seems like one more thing to do in a long list. But will be looking into it.
James
It only takes a few minutes and remember you only have to do it once.
Andrew
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.
Gavin,
…and it only takes a few minutes to submit a feed.
Good luck and all the best,
Andrew
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
Neil
Neil,
It certainly isn’t easy!
It takes hard work but get the subject right and it doesn’t feel like work!
Bit of a contradiction there but you know what I mean, I hope!
Andrew
Very nice information. I really appreciated the info on the feedagg. I’ll start using them this weekend.
Thanks for the tip!
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.
Even if I gain nothing else from this site, I learned how to add my blog to feedagg. Not theory, straight instructions that I was able to implement just as Andrew said. Therefore, I will continue to visit his blog and listen to his advice. Andrew is indeed the ‘real McCoy’. Thanks!
Gibson,
I’m glad the instructions helped.
Andrew
P.S. Thanks for the kind words.
You frikkin’ know all the slants, don’t ya?
I’ve ben reading your site like a BOOK.
I’ve got another Q for you, I’ll email it. It’s off topic from this post.
Thanks,
RM
Rob,
It’s just what I have learned from others / courses I have taken.
Andrew
weblogalot.com isn’t working for me. Has this website been taken down? I submitted to the other directories. Do you think these rss sites pass decent page rank?
TJ McDowell
It looks like weblogalot.com is no longer in service.
And I do think they pass on decent page rank. For instance, http://www.postrank.com has a PR of 7.
Andrew
Thank you, Andrew, for such an informative, concise and helpful post. I’m currently in the process of building my personal blog. Info such as these really help out a lot.
Great, Susan.
Have you seen my free guide to build your own blog?
Andrew
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
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.
Andrew
Nice list. Still I did not submitted my blog at any directory. But some directory services automatically listed my blog. I always believe on the content power. If your content is powerful and unique people will automatically link you. Thanks for sharing.
Anuj
Great unique content is a must and I agree…others will link to.
Andrew
Andrew – Thank you for the helpful tips on building backlinks to my blog site. I already submitted to feedagg.com and found their process easy enough (although you do need to sign up for an account to post).
Kind regards,
Mike

Great Michael – glad it helps.
Andrew
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.

You are just a wealth of information, thank you so much!
Thanks for the guide. I didn’t knew that we can send our twitter or facebook feeds in rss directories.
Rahul
You are welcome – I hope it helps.

Andrew, the feedagg.com link is not accessible.
error message ” Server not found”
Tried to access the site through numerous other related links, it returns the same error message.
Daniel,
It’s working now.
Andrew
Hi, I found your article using RSS feeds searching on google. I had never thought about adding my site to any of these sites. I simply added mine to my yahoo reader lol. The person above me said the first link doesn’t work but I will check it and I’m going to add my sites feed to the sites you listed right now.
Thank you
Only time would tell, we’ll see, worth trying
Thanks very much, I’m trying to build as many backlinks as I can. The competition for my website/business locally really isn’t too bad so I’m working at it every day. I appreciate the tip about submitting my feed. Much easier than signing up and posting on forums.
Thanks again.
I’d love to receive your multi-media blogging guide. You have well presented valuable information here. Thanks a lot for sharing. 🙂
I just tried it after reading this post. It seems FeedAgg require to sign in first.
And, they have to review our feed first, to ensure we have correct feed
Its the nice way to move your users from one post to the other post. Very nice thing you posted here also as in the previous one i read. I want to use this RSS feed tool. Thanks for sharing these type of tools.

Hi Andrew, good post we were pleased to come across it and learn a great deal. Hopefully we can put it all in to practice and start getting some more traffic through on our website.
You may leave this reply instead. I really enjoyed your post. Finding out about RSS feeds links was very helpful and it only took a minute to load them up.
Thanks a bunch. I did not even know there were rss submission places before this. Thanks a bunch. I need as much traffic as I can get. I really appreciate you taking the time out to share this with us.
Thanks again,
Ricky Strode
great article Andrew…I found your space very helpful…I have a blog website with PR4 and I do not want to loose the PR rank, that’s why I need your help… I was curious to know how often and how many reciprocal links can I add per day to my site to build backlinks ???and where should I add, I mean should I add in the footer section or sidebar.
It’s surprising to see that very few people make use of the power of RSS; I’ve got websites that receive up to 30% from their traffic through RSS feeds alone. On a side note, the link to the RSS submitter that you were recommending isn’t working anymore; my suggestion is to try RSS Submit (that’s the name of the application) – it is more expensive, but it includes a huge list of RSS feeds.
George
Which one isn’t working?
And thanks for sharing RSS Submit.
Andrew
one thing i must say that the heading/title is very attractive …
i didn’t knew that rss submission is also necessary …..
i learn’t many things after reading this article of yours
Great Divas,
I’m glad you are learning. We all need to learn new things every day.
Andrew
Just submitted my RSS feed to feedagg.com. Interested to see if this generates a backlink for me. Am going to try the submission tool for the 30 RSS directories tomorrow.
