Generating Backlinks To Your Site

One of the best ways to generate backlinks to your site is through RSS feeds. It provides deep links to the inner pages of your site which is a valuable source for backlinks. But before you do that, you will need an online syndication service that will display RSS feeds as a web page.

The primary requirement for this technique is to have an RSS feed on your website. This is special file written in a variant of XML, which describes the most recent pages from your website. Each entry should have a title, date, URL and a description.

The best RSS feed to have is one while is updated automatically whenever you add something to your website. Blogs usually provide this functionality, so all you need to do is find them or create your own.

Fresh Content Makes A Difference

• Syndicated page is updated automatically, each time the owner makes an update , so the content is always fresh
• Page title will match the title of the feed, and therefore contain the same keywords
• Sometimes the URL will also include keywords from the feed title
• RSS feeds contain snippets of text, which get displayed on the syndicated page
• This means that the majority of the content on the page comes directly from the RSS feed
• Each link within the RSS feed will be displayed using the title of the item as the anchor text
• All links are one-way, i.e. better than reciprocal links

How to Syndicate Content.
