We all know that building quality backlinks is one very important step to get a better SERP and Page ranking. It’s also a great way to drive traffic. So putting URL on many many web sites becomes one of the big money makers on the Internet. There are thousand web directories or blog directories that charge you a small fee to list your URL on their directory. However, many of them are just bad neighborhoods. It doesn’t add any good to your blog. So why not do it all by yourself for a little cost. Well. It costs you time, but it’s FREE!

We will build the quality backlinks with RSS Feed on blogger and wordpress.


Few days ago, I post a way to submit your blogger blog sitemap to Google webmaster tools. Meanwhile it also allows people to subscribe to your RSS feed through wonderful FeedBurner service. You can read the post at How to add Google sitemap and feedburner for your blogger.com blog.

The idea is to use FeedBurner for subscribers to subscribe to your RSS FEED and use the build-in FEED module on blogger or WordPress RSS Widget to subscribe to your RSS FEED on other blogs. I call it RSS backlinks exchange.

The most important note is to make sure you read the above link. The key is NOT to register your FeedBurner Feed URL in your blogger site feed settings and wordpress FeedSmith plugin. In other words, your default RSS Feed shows your really blog post URL instead of showing FeedBurner redirect URL.

Got the point? Here is the example.

I have two fashion jewelry related blogs. One is on blogger.com and the other one is on WordPress. You can find them here.

http://profashionjewelry.blogspot.com

http://www.profashionjewelry.com/blog/

If you look closely with the default RSS Feed URL, you only see the original post URL.

http://profashionjewelry.blogspot.com/atom.xml

http://www.profashionjewelry.com/blog/feed/?feed=rss2

However, the viewer can still click on the RSS FEED icon and subscribe to the FEED with FeedBurner.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/FashionJewelryBlog

http://feeds.feedburner.com/profashionjewelry

As you can see, those URL are using FeedBurner redirect URL.

Now. Let’s having some fun to add the RSS feed as quality backlinks to our blogs.

For Blogger:

You will need to add element to the blog template. You can see I already have an element

You click on Add a page Element under “Page Elements” control settings.

You now add the Feed Module to the page.

You simply type in your other blogs’ default RSS Feed URL. That’s how we want to build the backlinks to your other blogs, but not the blogger blog itself. So I type in my WordPress blog RSS FEED Default URL.

http://www.profashionjewelry.com/blog/feed/?feed=rss2

Now you see the top 5 post are listed. Mouse over the links and it says the original POST URL in the status bar. That’s what we need. Save changes. And it’s list on your page.

All you have to do the rest is to re-arrange your page elements.

For WordPress:

Under WordPress Presentation section, locate the Widgets settings. Make sure you are running WordPress 2.1 or greater version, which both support RSS Feed widgets.

If you don’t already have the RSS module installed on your side bar, you simply drag and drop it from the bottom widget list.

Now. You simply enter the RSS Feed URL of your blogger blog and close the widget. Remember to save the changes.

Now you have list the post on your WordPress blog.

If you look at both blogs, you see 5 quality backlinks from Blogger to WordPress blog and 10 quality backlinks from WordPress to blogger blog. Use your creative. You should know how to magnify your quality backlinks between many and many of your own blogger blogs and possibly exchange the RSS feed with other bloggers.

I will not tell you how to customize your blog template to show over 20 RSS feed modules. It’s up to your own practice to get your best results. Of course, you will need to keep those blogs alive by post new post every once a while. So search engine knows that blog is an active blog. It will them count all your backlinks a live links.
