Hi all,

Happy tuesday.  For all my fellow Englishmen, commiserations on the footy.

My eldest son Oliver went to the dentist today for the first time in his little life (4.5).  He wasn’t scared at all but then I guess he hasn’t got any reason to be, yet.

He needs a couple of fillings though so I guess I need to improve his dental routine and cut down on the sugary things.  At that age there’s no-one to blame but me and my wife (probably me).

Anyway we’ve agreed to try harder and he’s booked in to have the work done next monday.

God knows how he’s going to react when he sees that first needle though!

Marketing Tip of the Day

Does anyone know about RSS feeds and how they can be used to bring you both traffic and backlinks?

I know that RSS seems like one of those really complex subjects but actually they are really quite simple.

Blogs and Web 2.0 properties have a facility for distributing their content via RSS which stands for Really Simple Syndication.

On most blogs there is a simple button labelled RSS or Subscribe by RSS or something similar.  When you click on that button you can choose to have that blog’s content sent to your Feed Reader of choice.  This means that you can have all your favourite blogs’ content delivered to you in one central location on autopilot.

From our perspective, RSS feeds are another great way to distribute your content.  All you have to do is submit your Web 2.0 RSS feeds to the best RSS Feed directories and anyone searching for feeds that match your content will be able to  subscribe to your feeds and receive your articles.

There are two main benefits to this.  The first is that by submitting your content to the RSS directories you will be getting backlinks to your original post and the second is that you will receive traffic from those people that use RSS Directories to find content that they are interested in.

The thing is, it’s a pain in the a*** having to submit a feed for  every post to each directory.

Guess what though.  There are tools that can do everything for you.  All you do is make your blog post as usual and assuming you have set everything up, your feeds can be autosubmitted and you can get an immediate 30 or so backlinks.  Now until recently, I was only aware of one decent service for doing this: RSS Submit.  A good service but a bit costly!  Strangely enough this leads me  to my recommendation of the day.

Web Traffic Genius is a superb bit of software for generating backlinks and traffic on autopilot.

It will take any Wordpress post and create a feed for it and submit it to all the main RSS directories.  You can even set it to go back through your old posts and do it for them.

Better still you can even get it to mix your submissions with other submissions so that yours look like they have been submitted by a person.

Make no mistake this stuff works and there aren’t many tools out there that will bring you backlinks and traffic with no extra effort.

You’ll need to set aside 2 or 3 hours to configure it properly but the videos are very clear (4 of them) and I can honestly tell you to go out there and get it.

If you type “traffic” into the coupon code, you will get a 20% discount.
