most blogging platforms like word press have RSS built in and other platforms that do not can use a number of free utilities to generate an rss feed for the site, either via an online feed service or a generates feed ‘xml’ file that the site owner upload to the site root.

But how does a rss feed benefit you?

First off, when you submit your rss feed to the rss directories it get syndicated to 100’s of other sites which in turn generates more traffic to your own site and backlinks. This also get your site quick indexed in the search engines.

But how can we maximize our RSS feeds?

Step 1) If you have a niche specific niche keyword phrase and your running ‘wordpress’ as your blogging platform then install the ‘feedburner’ plug in to enable your RSS feed to contain your ‘main’ keyword phrase.

ie. instead of the default feed being: http://yourdomain/feed
it becomes http://yourdomain/my-keyword-phrase-here

This will help to rank your RSS feed as well as well your site, so a double bonus.

step 2) Submit your feed to at least the following directories:
- feedagg
- feedage
- syndic8
- yahoo feeds
- icerocket

step 3) ping your feed at ‘pingoat.com’ and re-ping ‘Everytime’ you create a new post

step 4) If you dont have a RSS feed on your site, you have 2 options here. Either use a service like html2rss and create the feed and upload it to your site. You can also use a service like ‘dapper.com’ to create a feed of your posts or articles but I prefer to use ‘icerocket’ as its very simple to use and very effective.

goto http://rss.icerocket.com and signup for a free account.

Once you have confirmed your account, login and ‘create a new channel’. Give your base domain name and add a keyword rich title and description. Now go and make a list (in a text editor) of all your different page urls and save them in your text editor.

Next take each page url and add a ‘new item’ to your rss channel on ice rocket for each url. Once you have completed this, click the publish link and this will create a RSS Feed link for you to promote.

Now take the rss feed and submit to the sites above. When ever you add a new page to your site, add a new item to your rss channel and re-publish then ping the RSS channel.

Step 5) if you already rss feed on your blog you can still create a ice rocket feed and add your urls in.

Also for any other site you create take the RSS from the site (ie. ezine articles) and submit to the above rss directories.

For every other site you are creating links on, add those links to a New RSS channel and submit then ping the channel every time you add a new item to it.

These are the simply steps I carry out using rss and the traffic and hits I get from this are testimonial on how well this works.

So get your RSS cranked up and blasted out and you can benefit from these feeds as well..

until next time..

I went off and noted the seven main areas to include:

-    High-Profile Article Marketing
-    Forum Marketing
-    Ebook Syndication
-    Video Marketing
-    Viral Pushes
-    Ad Swaps
-    Paid Advertising

Wether you want to build a list of promiote your site i’ll out line the strategies do follow to enable you to do this. SO lets go and out line what you need to do.

** High-Profile Article Marketing

Within the internet Marketing arena we all know that article marketing is one of the best ways to drive highly-targeted traffic to your website. However, if you re-focus your efforts towards high-profile article marketing can generate 10x as much traffic as standard article marketing.

Don’t waste your time submitting your articles to bulk standard article directories when you can submit to the more specific targetted top websites and blogs in your target market.

If you have a blog about sports then we need to be submitting our articles to sites such as http://bleacherreport.com/ which is one of the most popular sports websites online today. What if your website is all about weddings and wedding related servcies then you should be submitting articles to sites such as http://www.favorideas.com/submit-wedding-articles/

How about if your niche web site is all about parenting, you could submit articles to http://www.momsnetwork.com/submit-articles.shtml

How about if your niche web site is all about about finance, you could submit articles to  http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/submitarticle.html

Do you see a pattern emerging here? We need to be submitting your articles to a targetted audience of readers to gain massive amounts of traffic for your articles. So use the very popular websites for submitting articles to gain this massive traffic.

Here’s a list of very popular websites that I personally submit articles to. The list below is a gold mine for building a list of thousands of subscribers. If you published just ONE really good article every day to the following websites, and had a good call to action in your resource box that sent people to your squeeze page, then you would have a highly responsive list of AT LEAST 1,000 subscribers by the end of the month.

** Forum Marketing

Forum marketing is another excellent strategy for building a list of subscribers and sending tons of traffic to your website.

Forum marketing is a highly underrated, but extremely effective strategy for building a list of subscribers, driving highly-targeted traffic, and establishing yourself as an authority in your particular market.

Forums put you directly in front of your target market, making it a goldmine for driving thousands of highly targeted visitors to your website.

But keep in mind here that the key to successful forum marketing is to become an active participant in the community. Your first priority is to deliver lots of value. And that means posting highly valuable content in the forums and helping people with their questions.

Once you’ve become a trusted member and delivered some great value in your posts, people will naturally want to learn more about what you have to offer.

This is where your signature link comes in…

You’ll want to use your signature link to send people to your squeeze page where you can build your list of subscribers.

Here’s an example of a good signature line:

“Find out how to get front-page Google Rankings in 24 hours with my FREE Google Mystic 2.0 Video series… http://www.yoursqueezepagehere.com ”

The key here is to entice them with some sort of benefit to get them tocome to your website. Keep your signature file short and to the point.You should only be promoting one page in your signature file. Don’t confuse people with multiple options.

Also keep in mind that it’s the value of your post that drives people to look at your signature. If you provide people with extraordinary value, then they will naturally want to check out more of your content.

So focus on providing value. One extremely valuable post is worth 10x more than 20 average posts.

*** Always be looking for ways to re-purpose your content. There are a TON of ways to get extra mileage out of any type of content you create online.

See you in part 2 of the killer strategy guide.

If you liked this post then you would also enjoy our FREE article domination strategy –>  Dominating Article Strategies

Basically most cloaking packages use an ‘iframe’ type of embedded window to display web pages within a hosted html page on your own domain. This ‘iframe’ that displays your affiliate page  shows the affiliate page from the affiliates own site but it looks like it is actually hosted on your domain.   This allows you to  still get cookies created to hold your affiliate  information to ensure that you still get your commissions of any sale.

Thats the technical side of things but this is all done behind the scenes so you will not have to worry about any of it. The ranking that the software does it to include targeted articles (that you either create or get off ezine articles) within the page that cannot be seen by the users of the page but can be seen by google; and google ranks the page based on those articles.

So you take your target keyword phrases for the affiliate products, add them to the page, add the affiliate link, add the article text and the software creates your page in seconds.  You upload the page to your domain then redirect your customer to the page using your normal traffic generation methods or adwords etc.

To get this free software simply fill in your name below. You will also receive a special traffic generation report for free.

This software allows you to cloak you affiliate links from your competitors and view you domain pages as though the link page is actually on your domain.

I’ve used this software for clickbank , PPC and PPV products I have promoted through a number of my websites and it’s worked perfectly for me. Friends have also been using this software to test it before I released it  and they have also found it to be excellent for their conversions.

To get the cloaking software simply add your name and email below and we will also send you an awesome traffic strategy as a bonus.

This one little secret has the power to spread your name across the Internet like wildfire. It will quickly bring you massive exposure and an endless line of raving fans just waiting for your next email, article, podcast, or video.

And you know what, I’m going to give you the secret for free… But don’t let that devalue the information I’m about to share. This can be extremely powerful when put in the right hands.

So, let me whisper my surprising little secret into your ear…

Remarkable Content!

Yes…. Remarkable Content. Words that speak directly to your readers… Words that win the minds and hearts of your audience… Entertaining content that’s juicier than all the latest celebrity blogs.

I need to crave your content more than I do my daily Starbucks.

Do you get it?

It’s got to be that good.

So, how do you write Remarkable Content…

1. Emotional Engagement – Great content evokes some sort of emotional reaction, whether it be laughter, tears, or just the thought of “Wow, this is good stuff.” If you can get some sort of emotional engagement, you’ve hit a winner and people are much more likely to pass it around.

2. Personality – Good content, regardless of whether it’s an article, an
email, or a Twitter post, needs to be stamped with your personality.

Just a dash of personality can make a huge difference in how your readers
engage and respond to your content.

3. Changes Your Perspective. Truly great content will change the way you perceive a particular topic, idea, or thought process.

4. Deliver the Goods. People come online for information. It’s your job to
deliver the answers they’ve been looking for. All the better if you can
deliver this information in a creative, entertaining way.

In order to write truly great content, you must know your audience as well as you know yourself. When you do that, you can write directly to their fears, frustrations, aspirations, and desires.

5. Passion. It’s the secret ingredient to all great content. Your readers will
instantly detect it and be drawn to your writing, your videos, your podcasts, and any other form of content you produce.

6. Connect. You have to remember that behind every piece of content is a person. It’s easy to slave away on the computer, pounding out articles and forget that you’re writing to real people.

So before you lay a single finger on the keyboard, grab some coffee, take a deep breath, and imagine that you’re sitting across from a friend. You know all of their quirks, their frustrations, theirs hopes and their dreams.

Once you’ve painted a perfect picture of who you’re writing to, you’re now ready to fire up your favorite text editor and settle in for a nice long chat.

Once I started using this technique, my writing soon became more engaging, insightful, and passionate. And you can bet your readers will take notice.

7. Leave them wanting more. The best content online leaves your reader wanting more.

You’ve given them a refreshing glass of water in the middle of the desert and now they’re eager to devour your next piece of content, open your next email, and spread your content to all their friends.

You’ll be surprised how quickly you start to build up a group of raving fans when you put out truly great content. In fact, this is one of THE fastest ways to become successful online. By creating remarkable content you will quickly establish yourself as a trusted authority in your market.

Remember, those who stand out get the attention.

Break through the clutter.

This is a minor strategy that MUST be followed for a SET period of time.. if you want to track any links the use ‘budurl’ as its free and works well..

if you want an article spinner then head over to the ‘jet submitter’ web site and signup for a free account. The account is free and it allows to use the ‘article spinner’ in which you can spin up to 100 articles at a time to use as your site content..

The following is a minor part of the full ‘Traffic Mystic Secrets 2.0 – Google Mystify‘ web traffic strategy that is not yet available for release. But don’t under estimate what is to come next, it yield’s exceptional results.

The first assumption I’m making is that you have main blog or money site.

1) create a squidoo lens and link it back to your main site
2) create a hub page and link it back to your main site and your squidoo lens
3) create 3 articles (maybe take 1 and spin it)
4) submit one article to ‘ezine’ and link it to your squidoo lens
5) submit one article to www.articlecat.com and link it to your hub page
6) submit one article to www.articlemotron.com and link it to your main site

Do this over a 5 day period. carry out 1 action per day. Rinse and repeat this cycle for 3 weeks. make sure you start your cycle on the same day.. Ie.. create a squidoo on a monday then the next monday etc.

Next you must Socially bookmark each of your sites and articles with the following sites.

• Propeller.com
• Furl.net
• Digg.com
• Technorati.com
• Del.icio.us
• Stumbleupon.com
• Twitter.com

Now ping each of the sites after the content has been created and published.

Do this using http://www.feedping.com/

One of my test sites I’ve used with my full strategy ranked at number 3 / 4 (indented) within 2 weeks and that was in early testing (october 2008) and it still in the same position and here is the search traffic:

Results 1 – 100 of about 4,570,000 for

I’m above wiki / amazon and all the other big guys apart from 1 major brand who has line a million links that will take a wee bit longer..

Now go off and implement this strategy for your own site and please email me with your results.

NOTE: if you get a ‘page not found’ error then please do a page refresh to rectify the error.. One or two people have experienced this.. If an error persists then please contact me via this post or on twitter here

The tool itself allows you to created a cloaked landing page with a set of targeted articles and keywords for your affiliate product. Best of all though is that google see’s your landing page and not the affiliate product, therefore doesn’t rate the page as duplicate content

The content is hidden, so that it only shows the product that you are an affiliate for but the URL itself is cloaked.

But what does this mean? it means that you will pay less for your PPC adwords ads as your page is unique and has only your content within it while others that are promoting the same products will be paying more per PPC and their links will be penalised for duplicate content.

Go and try the tool and please give me your feedback on it. if you have suggestions for other free tools that you would like me to create then please drop me a line.

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.
