Are you Syndicating Your Content via RSS?

Posted by in Affiliate, How To, James Schramko, Traffic

I recently setup a new blog at James Schramko .com using one of my favorite WordPress themes called thesis. The theory behind this blog is to publish my content from several of my online properties in one place. The most obvious ones are this blog, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook.

How to do it
What I did was install the plugin called WP O Matic. It will auto publish an RSS feed (or several) to the blog. I set the timer and it auto posts the feed/s to the blog according to the instructions I gave it. Rather than blend a bunch of feeds into it I am using one primary feed from the very powerful Friendfeed site. They currently integrate 58 other sites into one ‘mashup’.

FriendFeed

The magic
What happens next is magic. Now that your blog automatically integrates all of your content you can submit your blog feed to Feedburner and Feedage. These two RSS syndication services will spread your feed even further. You can even add that RSS feed to another blog or mix it up a little at RSSmix.

Results
Within a day or so my personal blog ranked first for my own name.

RSS Leverage for Traffic
If you really want to leverage your content then add a few tasty RSS feeds to your Google reader and submit them to your Friendfeed which in turn will come to your blog and then be distributed out to other blogs and sites etc… You get the picture right?.

Super Tricky RSS Monetization
If you want to get really tricky then you can get your blog auto bookmarking your automated posts and you can splice in some ‘find and replace’ affiliate links… You can also have fun with podcasting and video integration (automagically). I’ll save that stuff for the WPCheatSheet tutorials….

Thanks James for your valuable tips. RSS has got to be one of the most under used sources to generate backlinks. By the way your XSP cheatsheat is awesome…thanks!

Been using the “Share This” widget on my WP theme blog and from what I can tell, it automatically posts my blog posts to FriendFeed and a bunch of others social bookmarks which works pretty well, coz the blurb I posted about Perry Belcher’s massive social media money system webinar got a bunch of hits in the past few hours.
