Hello guys,

Today we are gonna talk about Using RSS Feeds For SEO, Lets Start..

RSS feeds seem to be the rage in search engine marketing, but I’m not sure that marketers are really maximizing the effectiveness of feeds. Typically, marketers and SEO folks take their feed and submit to one of hundreds of RSS feed portals or directories. While this activity does provide some SEO value, there’s quite a bit of duplicate content in that equation. I’ve found that it’s more effective to utilize a feed aggregator to create a more unique feed. For example, once you’ve submitted all your feeds, go to a feed aggregator and list all your feeds there. Also add feed content from other sources including Google News, Yahoo, etc. The aggregator then combines all those feeds into a single unique feed. The new aggregator feed can then be submitted to feed directories as a new feed.

Now, let’s take that methodology a step further. Instead of combining all your feeds or a single feed together, create a number of targeted feeds. For example, open three accounts at a feed aggregator site like www.friendfeed.com using separate e-mails and account names. In your first account, take your original feed and combine it with a keyword based feed from Google News. In your second account, take your feed and combine with a keyword based feed from Yahoo. Do the same for your third account, only use another news based feed provider. Now, you have three separate keyword based feeds that you can submit to each of the feed directories and increase your back links and SEO. This technique is highly effective for low competition keywords. I’ve been able to have multiple first page listings on Google for the same keyword. The trick is finding quality low competition keywords. Once you are ranking for a particular keyword or keyword combo, wash, rinse, and repeat.
