One area where many internet marketers neglect is that of rss submissions. Many may submit their rss feeds to one or two directories but no more than that; which is a big mistake when they want to increase their traffic.

There are a number of rss submission sites with some requiring registrations and some not. Many of these are bulk standard sites bit there are a few that do serve particular niches and they serve these niches very well….

As part of the complete ‘traffic mystic secrets 2.0′ solution we have included RSS feed submissions as part of this experimental system. The results of the RSS submissions have been extremely promising and have increased traffic in the short term by around 5-10%. The results are looking very impressive.

The problem with RSS submissions however, is the time you have to take when you submit to all the RSS sites that you want to submit to. This will put many off and they will lose the benefits that RSS gives.  I initially submitted  to 35 of the top free sites  and it took around 90 minutes to fully submit to them all.. this took around 2.4 minutes per site.

To make this easier I created an application to semi-automate the process. The software auto fills in all of the fields on the web pages for us and auto loads the RSS submission sites themselves; all you need to do is enter any ‘captcha’ code and press the submit. After using the software the time to submit reduced to under 10 minutes, which is a huge reduction in the time taken to carry this task out.

The 35 sites are free submission sites and another 15-20 registered sites have been added and also around 10 specifi niche sites. 

I’m also in the process of adding in the following functionality:

• Blog Submissions
• Video Submissions (not in the initial version of the software)
• Directory Submissions (not in the initial version of the software)
• Secret Twitter Tool (not released till completed)

I’m going to be giving this tool away for free when I’m satified that any bugs are ironed out. I will be beta testing the application with some marketing friends from a past 30 day challenge team I was in.

I’m still not sure whether to release the software as a standalone application or  rewrite it for the web and  allows general use of it from this site.  This is one I will have to think on… a web version would be easier for updates.

Well thats me for now.. this was just a quick update.

Our ezine articles have now been published with our links.. these have also been socially bookmarked tonight with our list of primary sites and we should see some response within 2/3 days.

Still waiting for our goarticles to be bookmarked so we can do them naturally.. We will bookmark them tomorrow and do an update our our traffic to the site and our positioning….

Looking at the stats though we are getting some good increases in naturally organic traffic to our sites, which I am very pleased at. Google and yahoo seem to like the strategy so far.

The strategy we have used with goarticles is to create one article that targets our top level site and the 2nd article to deep link our target site. and have both of the articles targeting our keyword set that we optimizing the articles for.

I will detail the keyword set strategy in the future and maybe do this using a video to enable me to show a better diagrammatic over view of the the system I’m experimenting with.

Phase one of the article submissions is complete for two of the keyword phrases.

The articles are around 300 words in length and contains the key phrases in bold at the start of the article and repeated 2/3 times during the full article text.

The signature (anchor text) of the first article is the first keyword phrase linked back to our sites blog.

The signature (anchor text) of the second article is the second keyword phrase linked back to our sites blog.

The first submission has been submitted to ezine. I will use the same strategy and post the same articles that have been re-written to goArticles tommorow.

What we are trying to establish here is to get some good high PR rankings from at least 2 high trusted and established article directories for the same keyword set phrases. Our keyword set we are initially testing here contains 2 keyword phrases, so we are writing 2 articles per site and submitting both of these to our targeted article directories.

We have linked the first keyword set of articles to our main blog page. The second set to be submitted to our second article directory WILL deep link to our targeted blog article post and NOT the top level site.

More to come soon.

The Traffic Mystic System has been developed to combat the indexing updates that are ongoing within the search engines. These updates are focusing on de-indexing and removing link to site that are classed as not ‘content’ worthy and that do Not provide a fresh host of content on a regular basis.

Links from poor sources are also being used to re-rank your site (lower the rank) and in many cases these links are being severely devalued and removed. This means that in a lot of cases your search position in the search listings will drop dramatically. Lots of people have also found themselves removed from the top 1000 index altogether.

Just think about this for a moment.. you have spent the last 6 – 12 month gaining lots of links from article directories like:

• Ezinearticles.com
• goarticles.com

And with these sites being around PR6, you have gained some solid link backs to your own site and as a consiquence you have had your site rank increased and your search engine position increased and gained a lot of new traffic to your site.

You have also gained some good links from some web 2.0 sites like squidoo from pages you have created and socially bookmarked.

So your linking is building up nicely and your articles are in place via your multiple directory submissions but then you check your site and notice that for the last few days your traffic has dropped off!!!

You go and check your site and find your article submission links have vanished and so has your rank and your search engine top 10 position.

Well this is what is happening to thousands upon thousands of sites and it can also happen to you.

We have tested this system over a 3 month period over a number of different site types. We have tested the strategy with:

• Build a Niche Stores
• PHPBay Stores
• E-commerce stores
• Squeeze pages
• Static pages
• Blogs

In each case we have gained top 10 rankings for our keyword phrases within 4-6 weeks. In 90% of the time we have gained a top 3 ranking within 4 weeks and all of the sites links have been permanent. This includes the article links to our Build a Niche Store / PHPbay and Ecommerce stores, which have been specifically targetted by google and yahoo and had their links removed.

The Traffic Mystic Strategy enabled these links to become permanent and the links will Not be removed due how they have been impemented.

I will cover the strategies that I have used in comming posts so please add our RSS feed and bookmark us for updates.
