Comprehensive List of the Top RSS Directories - Submit Your Feeds For Links and Traffic
One way to put your blog content in front of a lot of eyes is to submit your blog’s RSS feed to RSS directories. Every time you submit your feed, you increase the chance that it will be picked up by someone who’s looking for content - and you’ll get backlinks and traffic in exchange. Also note that you can do the same thing for any site with a feed, such as a lens, hub, Blogger blog, etc.
Below is a fairly comprehensive list of RSS directories to which you can submit your feed for maximum exposure. This list should be current, and I’ve tried to trim away any niche-specific or paid directories. While there are some automated solutions for submitting your feeds to a handful of directories, I will post a follow-up to this article tomorrow detailing how you can add every new feed-enabled website you create to all of these sites with very little effort and zero cost.

Use Google to Beat Google
It’s all about authority.
The goal is to find a site that Google views as an authority and then have that site share some of that authority through back links. Of course, the context of the link has weight, too, but the authority of the site has a great deal of importance.
Last night I found a resource that helps speed up the search for sources of back links - specifically links from gov and edu pages. Since Google considers these pages significant when it comes to establishing authority, any help along these lines is really beneficial.
The resource is a cheat sheet with many different search engine queries. If you plug away for just a little while using different combinations, you’re bound to find a source of an incoming link.
Here’s a link to the download page…

Follow Links -vs- No-Follow Links
Nearly everywhere you look, people talk about the need for finding blogs and/or forums that have follow links (in other words, sites that have not turned on nofollow).
However, I’ve recently read that nofollow links are not as useless with Google as they were once thought. It appears that if your site is already indexed, a nofollow link will still count as a link with Google, albeit with somewhat less weight.
Today I got a nofollow link on an .edu site for one of my pages. Since that’s the only potential .edu link (unless I get really lucky with this brand-new site), I’ll keep an eye on it to see if I get .edu credit. I’ll post the results here as they happen.
