Step 5 ~ More Link Building

purpose: to build some links to the top level sites you created in step 4.

Link Building to Top Level Sites

You may ask, “Now why would I build links to these little sites I have built?” It’s a fair question and here’s the answer. Those are the sites that send “juice” to your site. The more “juice” they have the more “juice” they can send your way.

You want to build some links to these sites so build a little authority for them so the links they send back to your money site will have a little more umph and count a little more. We are going to do this by following the same process we followed in step 2.

This time you don’t have to use feedburner though. You just want to grab the RSS feed from wherever you have put content linking back to your site. When you start noticing RSS feeds you will be amazingly surprised by how many places they are.

If you go back to step 1 you will find there is an RSS feed for your zimbio account, your posts on 3stepads, your stumbleupon account. There are a couple ways to use RSS feeds from Squidoo. You can use your lensmaster feed ~ which shows all the lenses you have created. You can also grab the RSS feed from each of the lenses you create. Every blog, or site you build on a blog platform will have an rss feed. All of these can be submitted to the RSS directories ~ and should be.

You can also create a combined RSS feed using Yahoo Pipes. You can put some of your feeds together and create a totally new feed which you can then submit to RSS directories.

Remember, each time you submit an RSS feed you don’t have to do it again ~ each time you update your site it will automatically update in all the places you submit, because that’s what RSS is all about.

If you use one main account at hubpages, or knol, or squidoo and you submit it to directories you don’t have to keep submitting it each time you create a new page on that site ~ it will update on its own.

Grab your RSS feeds and start submitting. This is going to be long and boring, but it will be worth it I assure you. Grab a podcast from Itunes and listen to something you don’t usually have time for while you are copy/pasting your RSS urls into the proper boxes.
