Use Social Networks to Promote Your RSS Feed
I discovered great a blog post on RSS from WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er, and found the bottom half of the post to be of greatest interest to me. Be sure to check out the blog for the entire post and more info, but below are excerpts of how to bring a steady flow of traffic to your blog using social networks.
1. Claim Your Blog On Technorati. This step should be obvious… Create an account and claim your blog.
2. Join Blogcatalog and submit your blog. Once your blog is approved, your feed will be displayed on your profile with links back to your blog.
3. Join MyBlogLog and submit your blog. Once you become active enough within the community , your blog profile will also tend to rank well on Google (same as Blogcatalog)…
4. Join Facebook (if you haven’t already) and add the Blog Friends application…it allows you to display your latest blog feed …
5. Register with Squidoo and create a Lense. The fact is… you can add your RSS feed to your new Lense and even if it doesn’t become popular it will still market your feed for you.
6. Create Windows Live Space and add your feed. Adding your feed to Windows Live Space used to be simple and generated some nice traffic, so I plan to get back to it once I get some time and recommend you do same!
These are just a few of the most rewarding ways you can promote your RSS feed without investing too much.
Time to get busy and promote that blog!
