Smart way to sumit your RSS feeds

It is easy when you add your site in directories. Submission form - editor approval - link added - search engines indexed and that’s it. Most bloggers found it tough to add their RSS feeds because in most cases you can submit your feed in hundreds network and even after approval your posts never visible for readers and search engines.

As for me, I don’t even know why some RSS feed networks exist. There are many one page sites which just offer to submit feed and later god only knows were this feed appear and who need it.

I would suggest you to do it smart way when you simply check popular blogs to see how their pages indexed in search engines. Often it takes 2-6 weeks for crawlers to find link and index it. Yahoo (Alltheweb) show indexed links right away. In this case you can simply check how some authority blog posts are indexed and who link them. Take full URL of post which was made month before and copy in AllTheWeb search box, don’t forget to type link: in the beginning. It will show you all links which point to this URL. In most cases you will see social networks and RSS feed portals which catch this post and linked it in news blocks, and pages about this feed.

Example: Let’s take popular blog ShoeMoney. I checked their post which was made 3 weeks ago: http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/08/10/different-ads-on-the-sidebar/

when i typed on AllTheWeb link:http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/08/10/different-ads-on-the-sidebar/ it gave me list of websites which link this post. Now i can see that ShoeMoney RSS feed really work on www.myfeedz.com and www.bumpzee.com. Cool! Now i can visit this networks and add my RSS. It will increase importance of my posts and will improve their rankings ( read Increase importance of web pages. and How to make Google to index pages faster… ).

It takes a little time and effort, but you will be happy when you check your backlinks later using Google webmaster tools. 100% natural deep links will never hurt your site. Read more: Deep links - better traffic , Importance of deep links.
