Blog Link Advertising

Now we are going to talk about RSS feeds, which are increasingly popular.  Providing a good one can drive a whole lot of traffic to your blog.

RSS can mean two things: Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication.  Whatever you call it, it is basically a light XML format used to distribute news on the internet.  For you, the blogger, it means that other sites will be able to distribute your news and the content on your blog easily as well.  RSS feeds are also indexed by search engines, so you can ask them to link to your site.

You need to be careful about the sites with whom you share links, though.  Google especially has high standards.  For instance, if you link to web sites which are no longer listed, then Google could remove your site from their index as well.  So, just make sure to keep up with maintenance and check on your links every once in a while.

Always make sure you are sharing links with quality places too.  That can lead to a huge Page Rank for your site.  Remember, if Google finds out that you’re just trading links with other sites simply because you want a better ranking, your site could get blacklisted.
