Submitting RSS feeds to sites and.. who’s getting the visitors?
When I first started marketing links for this site, I was very excited about the ability to submit my rss feed to a site and have it link to mine. Well, I’ve lost that spark. Why? Well from what I can tell, out of all the sites I’ve submitted my feed, I’m barely receiving any traffic. In fact, what I’m finding is that these sites are getting traffic that my site should get.
So, the question now is, why should I submit my rss feed to a site? Honestly, I don’t know. I have submitted my site to the Google’s blog Search (blogsearch.google.com), but that’s it. All of the other sites seemed to have absorbed my RSS feed and are now using it for their own traffic and content. So, those days are over.
So, my advice. Maybe only submit to Google’s Blog search. Otherwise, prepare to have your site beat in the searches by your OWN content on someone else’s site!
