The Idea Behind RSS Linkswheels

Depending on the online business model, I have found many instances where it is possible to dominate organic search engine ranking by creating a few simple micro-blogs and connecting them together in a linkwheel using RSS feeds. This blog is an example of that process. One reason this still works is that the vast majority of the competition (new people entering online marketing) are taught to just mindlessly build thousands of links from social bookmarks, blog comments, and forums.

Building link wheels takes less time, and you do the work only once in most cases. Another advantage of link-wheels is that it's difficult for links from these sites to be characterized as spam. This is considered off-site SEO and it would be very hard for search engines to discriminate or downgrade links from social media websites and Web 2.0 sites. Even if things change dramatically in the future, the loss of these one-way links will not cause your main website, money sites, or target sites to be de-indexed.

So, an RSS link-wheel can be defined as simply building 5 to 6 "on topic" micro-blogs, using selective keyword-rich anchor text links as one-way links back to your main target site, and a one-way link connecting from each mini-site in a linear scheme.

[A > B > C > D > E > F > (+/- A)]

The operative phrase here is "one-way links". This graphic above illustrates the possibility of the last link looping back to the first website in the link scheme. This is what is called a "closed" link- wheel. The link wheels we will build will not be closed. Our linkwheels are also called "horseshoe" or "open" link wheels, since the last link is not completed to make a full loop. The reason for this will be discussed in future posts.

Note: Throughout this blog I will use "link wheel", link-wheel", and "linkwheel" interchangeably. I do not know if one is preferable over the others. I kind of like the way Linkwheel looks myself.

RSS Feeds for Back Links

Implementing RSS feeds in many various ways is going to get you backlinks. This is a great way to create an incredible number of one-way backlinks to your content online without much effort once you get the hang of it. Remember that just about any kind of content can be converted into an RSS feed, and this means you create automated links to-and-from link wheels, too.

Not only can you use existing RSS feeds that are automatically embedded on most sites, you can also create feeds if they don't exist. Next, you can go on to combine links and mixed RSS feeds using aggregator tools like feedage.com, webrss.com, and Yahoo Pipes. You then can distribute thee feeds across the web and leading back to your link wheels, blogs, and target websites. Not only that, since RSS feeds also have any other links they already embedded in articles and posts, you can begin to see how you can multiply and pass links across the net. Surfers who are interested in your content can subscribe to your feeds to keep up with your updates.

You can easily submit RSS feeds to potentially hundreds of RSS directories, and your links will get syndicated in ways you have not even imagined. This in turn will generate even more automated back links, better search engine exposure, and more targeted website traffic. It's amazing that more people do not take advantage of the power of RSS distribution.

Here are some tips. Publish your feeds to as many directories and feed aggregators as you can. This is one area where using automated software should not be a problem. There is paid software and there are free software options. The more exposure you get for your feeds, the more backlinks you will then create, and you will continue to build an impressive number of one-way links from around the web.
