Begin Your Publishing Empire
If you create RSS feeds you can start a publishing empire – just look at the rss feeds coming from the big media companies like the New York Times and others. Every hour they have people in-putting more news items – news, politics, feature articles, gossip and entertainment news – you could put anything in your feed?
You can have many feeds for all sorts of topics, just think of the possibilities for driving endless traffic to various pages of your web site where readers can access more information or a salespage, click on an advert like Adsense or some other product to buy – or to give their email address to sign-up for an ecourse or your email newsletter.
The possibilities for instant publishing via RSS feeds is endless, never before has it been so easy to publish anything, it has always been in the hands of the media giants – but no more – they don’t have a monopoly on the internet. The media giants are now down to your level – you are equal to them on the internet – they may well have a large following but, you can also have a large enough following for the information you put out in your RSS feed given time.
Your RSS feeds do not have to be international in nature looking for a worldwide audience – they can be localized for your town or city with local news, local politics, entertainment, sport, news, local gossip, travel – monetizing your feed by writing an article for a local business, and driving traffic to that page, you can charge good advertising dollars, with local businesses lining up for an ‘item’ spot in your feed. How many businesses could you take advertising dollars off in a week? How many feeds can you put out in a week? The possibilities are explosive in nature – yet so many web site owners struggle to gain any money at all from their offerings online – it’s a hard slog! If only they would keep up with technology – just like the media giants do.
Web 2.0 technology is here – yet I hear “What’s that anyway?” from all over the forums and blogs from people who have not caught up with it to realize the possibilities – like putting images, photo’s and even slideshows and video in RSS feeds, together with different fonts – instead of plain boring ‘courier’ – together with colored text and colored backgrounds, making the feeds more attractive to the readers – after all, a picture paints a thousand words – and certainly helps to get readers interested in your offer. See my website for “RSS Traffic Attack” my new ebook explaining it all in great detail.
Web site owners can be too bogged down in routine by rote – doing the same things day-in and day out, they need to step back and look around them at other possible ways of promotion – RSS feeds are free promotion and do drive traffic endlessly.
The technology is here – just use it.

Linking Strategies Using Link Directories (Page 1 of 2)
Introduction:
Building high quality links to your website is one of the most important things that you can do to improve your search engine rankings. You can think of these links as votes in favor of you website (this is the way the search engines see it). Acquiring high quality links for your site can be very time consuming, however it is a very important thing to do if you want to get great search engine rankings.
Before I continue, let me quickly define Link Popularity (link pop) for you. Link Popularity simply refers to the amount and quality of inbound links to your site. There are many free tools available on the internet for checking your link popularity.
How Link Directories Can Help You
Using link directories is one of the best ways to get quality links to your site. A link directory is basically a web site which has a huge collection of links that are sorted by categories. People who are searching for a particular type of web site will use links directories as an alternative to doing a search engine query.
There are thousands upon thousands of link directories out there to choose from. I recently typed the keywords: link directories in to Google and received 1,120,000 hits.
When you submit your site to a link directory, it is edited by a human. Your submission will either be accepted or rejected, depending on the quality of you site, and whether it is relevant to the directory you are submitting to. If your site gets accepted, the users of the link directory will consider your site to be credible. Also, the search engines love links that point to your website from quality link directories.
You will want to have your link placed on as many link directories as you can. There are three reasons why you’ll want to do this. First, you will get targeted traffic to your site when people search the directory for your type of site. Second, you will increase you search engine rankings as your link popularity increases. Third, having links from link directories will help your web site pages to get indexed quickly.
Some Features Of Link Directories
When you submit to a link directory, you are usually given 3 choices that look something like this: o Featured Links o Regular Links o Regular Links With Recipricol The featured links will normally keep your listing towards the top of the list. There is always a charge for featured links (this is one of the ways that link exchanges make their money). The trouble here is that if a lot of people are buying featured links for a particular category, you may still be pushed quite a way down the list. With a lot of link directories, the regular links and the regular links with recipricol are offered for free. When I submit to directories, I always choose regular links and I only choose free ones. Listen, there is such an overwhelming number of link directories out there, that if you start paying for your submissions, you will quickly empty your bank account. There are plenty of free ones to choose from (just type free link directories into Google, and you will be amazed at the numbers). Finally, always choose the regular link option (one way) rather than the reciprcol link option. These days, search engines consider one way links to be more valuable that recipricol links (recipricol links are still OK, but they are not as good as one way links).
