Internet Marketing the Simple Way

If I have left anything out or you know of any other way to boost traffic quickly then please share with the audience/readers by leaving a comment below.

Let me review what I covered on part 1 series. I have talked about placing a comment on other blogs, subscribing to those blogs’ RSS feeds, and joining a couple of forums. In this series, I am going to talk about “pinging” a blog and using RSS feeds.

4- Ping a Blog to Let the World Know You Exit in Cyberspace

You need to ping places like Technorati and other update services to let them know your blog is up. WordPress will also automatically ping these sites whenever you put up a new post.

Go to Admin > “Settings tap” on your left hand side>Click “Writing” screen scroll down till you see “Update Services‟.   Once you have that screen add all these urls to the Update Services window:

Be sure to ‘Save Changes’ when you’re done. All of those sites will now be pinged every time you publish a new post.

5- Optimize your RSS feed

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It’s a technology that allows information to be syndicated – made available to news readers– blogs or anyone who wants to receive it.
All blogs have an RSS output as standard, but there are two main RSS technologies in use today and RSS readers are not always able to accommodate both types.

To get around  you have two options: setting up an account with Feedburner or generating your own feed.
Feedburner reads the RSS feed from your blog and converts it to a format that can be read by all readers. It also enables you to offer automatic updates by email, for those who prefer that, and gives you some great statistics on your blog readers.

Once you have ‘burned’ your blog feed, you will be given a Feedburner Feed URL and this is what you should use whenever you provide your RSS feed link to anyone.  The problem with it is when you submit your RSS feed, it is not going to give credit to you site, but it is going to intermediary site instead.

Click here to go to Feedburner, and open an account if you do not have one.  The RSS feed on your blog continually makes your articles and posts available to RSS readers – so this is another great way of ensuring that your new posts are made available as widely as possible as soon as they’re published.

Even if you’ve never used RSS, getting this set up is important because it’s another way of distributing your articles or your posts and attracting visitors.

The alternative option is you generate your own feed. In order to do that, if you are using WordPress, you can find this URL by adding the “feed” at the end of your domain.  For example, http://www.paulyunonline.com/feed. Then you feed your RSS feed to the sites under the feed directory directly.
