After the whole wordpress.com debacle I’ve been rethinking my linking strategy. I know, and if you read this blog YOU know, that backlinks are very important. I have been taught and paid a lot of money to learn that article marketing is the way to go. The BEST way to build links to your sites to push them up the search engines.

Here’s the thing: I’m a writer and I hate doing all the writing article marketing entails.  I can only imagine how it is for people who don’t like to write or think they “can’t” write.  I’ve put it out there that I want to learn some new ways to build backlinks and of course, when you ask it is given.

I have heard rumblings that Amy of The Niche Blogger will be using RSS feeds to build links somehow in month 3 ~ which I still haven’t gotten to and I’m dying to get there can you tell?????

Anyway, last night I was looking through my email and saw someone was giving away a plugin that will build backlinks with RSS. Very interesting.  They were also giving away a free Web 2.0 guide as well. I figured what the hey, and filled in my info. If you want to get them you can go to the Marketing Assasin’s blog and get them for yourself ~ the ebook is definitely worth it ~ and I haven’t installed the plugin yet, I’ll let you know about it later.

That leads me to my day so far. I read the web 2.0 ebook and it really got me to thinking. They really talked about creating a web or network of links to your money pages. They use all the web 2.0 sites to do this. Now you all know I’m an avid Squidoo user, and I have tons of web 2.0 things in my toolbar that I don’t use as often as I thought I would. I am just getting into twitter, and generally forget to tweet.

I followed a crazy bunny trail today and it started to create a very cool and automated plan. Bear with me ok?

OK, now I remember how this all started, lol, took me a minute or two to remember. After reading the ebook I decided to WORK LOL.  I was going to ping my lenses I made yesterday so I went to Squidutils. I couldn’t ping because I updated yesterday, so Idecided to lensroll a couple of them and somehow ended up on the blog for lensroll.com. (you really gotta love the internet right??)

Anyway, the blog at lensroll.com recommended a new site called tagfoot.com. It’s in beta and it’s supposed to be really cool, so I went by and checked it out.  It asked me to import my firefox bookmarks so I looked through some of them and deleted some.  Somehow, I don’t remember how, I ended using clipmarks on one of my lenses.  Once I published the clipmark it asked me if I wanted to syndicate it to other places. Well, that sounded pretty cool and so I clicked a couple things to look around and landed on twitterfeed.com.

I am fairly new to being active and caring at all about twitter and I have some applications that I use but twitterfeed is pretty cool. It also started to gel my idea about creating links and a web of links.

Basically twitterfeed will take any RSS feed you have, and go check it however often you would like it to, and then post new stuff from the feed to your twitter account.

Go back and reread that last sentence k?

I have a hard time remembering to turn my twirhl on in the morning, and I generally forget to post to my twitter account, even though I SEE how powerful it is. I have already gotten new clients and made sales generated from twitter. I just forget.

Now with twitterfeed, I have made it look like I’m tweeting all the time about all kinds of different things. Wherever you can find an RSS feed, and what DOESN’T have an RSS feed these days you can find twitter content.

I have so far added the feed from my clipmarks ~ which will be checked every 12 hours and post the one last thing I clipped.

I have added my squidoo lensmaster RSS feed (which can be found at squidutils.com) which will be checked hourly and post the 2 last things I posted.

I have this blog on twit this so it posts automatically when I post here, and I have my Fisher Price Toddler Toys Review site on twit this as well.

I can also find RSS for other web 2.0 sites I use regularly and add them to twitterfeed.com. They will automatically post to things I am doing or have found interesting.

Here’s the thing about this. If you already use these web 2.0 sites why not feed them into other web 2.0 sites and create a huge web of your links, from one place to the next. It will not only create great backlinks for your sites but will also create so many ways for people to find you and your stuff.

If you have been using twitter, and twitterfeed for a while, cut me some slack. I’ve a bit brainwashed lately and my all or nothing personality refused to let other options in.

I do see however, this is a very valid method to use work you do once in more than one way.  Create links upon links simply by doing what you already do. Check out your favorite bookmarking sites and see if they have an RSS feed you can use.  Plug it in to twitterfeed, and other sites like it and syndicate what you are doing everywhere, by only doing it once.

This has been very long winded, sorry. I’m not completely clear on all this yet so it is still in the formulation stages and not the completely clear stage. I’d love to hear your take on this, and if you try it out, let me know your results!
