I have received a question from Ordinacin in one of my post regarding the tips that I have written in order to be in Google and Yahoo SERP Page # 1 or 2 from an SEO Contest. I would like to post a tutorial on how to put the links in your feeds. Since there are lot as of blogger using Blogspot and WordPress, (This is the only platform that I know ) I would like to make a tutorial on how to this as well as my take on how it will improve your SERP ( Search Engine Ranking Page ) Ranking

A question from Ordinacin from my Lesson Learn from Marhgil Macuha SEO Contest post.

Hey Dexter, what do you mean by the feeds technique ?

The Feeds Technique

I have included a link to my post in all my feeds.

I will try to answer questions on how to insert Feed Links or Feed Footer on your RSS Feeds.

How to put feeds Links in Blogspot?

It is rather easy to put feeds links in Blogspot since it is readily available for their Dashboard. Just follow the bellow instruction

Go to Dashboard >>> Setting >>> Site Feed >>> Post Feed Footer
Enter the HTML Code linking to any post or Website that you like to link.
You must also set “Enable Post Pages” to “Yes” (in Archiving settings) [ Dashboard >>> Setting >>> Archiving >>> Post Feed Footer
Set “Allow Blog Feeds” to “Full” (above).

And so there you have it. You can now put links to your feeds. Many bloggers does not know that this links is also an effective way to advertise and add some juice to their site.

How to put feed Links in WordPress ?

Unlike Blogspot Self hosted WordPress does not have an readily available option to this but instead you have to add a plugin that will be suitable for this and Daily Blog Tips has written a post regarding this matter. Add a Footer to Your RSS Feed: 7 Practical Examples

and gives the following plugin as a example. BTW I am using RSS Signature for this blog with WordPress 2.3.2 installed

RSS Signature (formerly known as sig2feed)
PostPost
Better Feed

Here is an example of my feed for this blog.

How this help with SEO of a certain page or site ?

It helps in many ways, If there is a certain Website that are getting your feed links in order to promote on their site. This links will give real juice in your blog or blog post.

When Google , Yahoo or any Search Engines crawls went to a feed site it will automatically crawl on the footer that will also leads at your Site.

This is also one way of protecting your post from those site stealing your contents via your feeds. Hope You like it.

Oh, so that’s how people put content not on the site on their feeds. Can we put a link to the original post using regular expression? Sort of “This entry was posted on yourdomain%posttitle%” to prevent scrapers?

Anybody know how to do this in Feedburner ? I think you can add html code to your feed in Feedburner but can’t find where to do that…

@Showbiz Intriga?

A big sorry, To you and to my other readers.. Actually when my site was hacked I only uploaded the available back up at my pc..And I did not notice that the back up I have for my header is the old version with the mispelled country name.

But it is good that you comment about it. I have edited it now via Photoshop..

Thanks and Sorry
