RSS FEED Backlinks The Easy Way

Ok so it’s a fairly old trick but still manages to work in various ways as far as increasing traffic or even just getting new links indexed faster, you’ve probably heard of it before so just skip reading the rest of this post, but if you haven’t here’s a tip – take all those links you have and merge them into a single rss feed. Then submit that one feed to the big rss aggregators out there, heck, even just pinging them sometimes does the trick…but it’s a quick ‘n’ dirty way of getting spiders going through a large list of links (all from diff sources) at once.

Here are a few RSS resources to help you get backlinks:
http://links2rss.com/ – This one is an old service on a new domain…run by one of the senuke folks, it’s been around for a long time + old feeds of mine still get pinged from time to time… kinda nice. Anyhow, compared to the other sites that do similar mashups, this one let’s you spin the descriptions and titles for each of your links (which is a lot better than having a feed full of 20 links given the same title/description, trust me).

IceRocket’s RSS Builder – you have to register (it’s free) an account to use this service but it is a quick way to get your feeds syndicated after you’ve tossed ‘em together. It can make new rss feeds out of previous ones as well as individual links.

RSS Mix – This one only mashes together existing rss feeds but it’s a great way to recirculate old feeds in a new way. They also have a couple RSS parsers listed if you just want to code your own mashup.

FeedKiller – It’s pretty much the same thing as RSS Mix, just a little more new + slightly faster as far as it not timing out every couple of hours.

BlastCasta – This is a cool tool that let’s you mix, mash, convert, and even translate up to 5 feeds into one brand new unique source….very useful in keeping links and content unique when submitting to bulk directories.

RSS Mix by DominateSEO.net – It’s just like rss mix, only it allows u to input up to 100 urls into a single feed.

Now that you’ve got your new rss feed, here’s a list of some places to submit them to get some backlinks (borrowed from adsenseurdu.com):

Cloak And Rotate Your Affiliate Links!

Here’s a simple php script that you can use to not only cloak the referrer information, but also to rotate through your affiliate links so that you can test different offers and/or different advertising networks.

In order to hide your traffic sources you need to send the user through a double-redirect before pushing them along to the advertisers page. This can be done many different ways, but for the sake of this post I’m just going to use a very basic PHP redirect. For this setup, have the offer link on your landing page point to link.php, which will immediately redirect them to offer.php. Once they reach offer.php it will randomly select one of the affiliate links and redirect them on to their final destination. It’s that simple.

link.php

<?php
/* Redirect browser */
header("Location: offer.php");
/* Now the next line just makes sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

Now here’s the second file – You’ll want to replace the URL’s with YOUR affiliate links. If you’d like to add or remove offers just add or remove one of the “$affiliateoffer[] = ‘http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=1788&t202kw=’” lines.

offer.php

<?php
$r = $_GET['sub'];
$affiliateoffer[] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=1788&t202kw=';
$affiliateoffer[] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=2788&t202kw=';
$affiliateoffer[] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=3788&t202kw=';
$affiliateoffer[] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=4788&t202kw=';
$affiliateoffer[] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=5788&t202kw=';
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$random_number = rand(0,count($affiliateoffer)-1);
$dur = ($affiliateoffer[$random_number]);
$moneysite = $dur.$r;
header("Location: $moneysite");
?>

There you go, now you’re safeguarding your leads as well as testing out networks/offers. Remember, the secret to having sustainable campaigns is to always be testing!

Free PHP Source Code: A/B Split Testing For Your Landing Pages

 |  Affiliate Marketing, Analytics, Free Code, Landing Pages, Online Advertising, PHP, Testing, Tools, Website Development  |  1 Comment


As with any type of marketing, you should always be testing new ideas + strategies in every facet of your work. The most important and most typically overlooked form of testing that is essential to getting a profitable conversion rate is in testing your squeeze or landing pages. Switch everything up! The images, the copy, heck even the entire layout + domain. You’ll never know what will make you money/convert until you actually find it and the best way to setup your site to systematically rotate through different landing page variations is by A/B testing (or in this case you could actually take it from A-Z as far as different destinations for your users). It’s just a small little php script that you put at the top of any page you’re sending traffic to. After each new referral comes through it just goes down the list of pages (you can also use domains if you wanted to try out different URIs). It’s that simple + there’s very little chance anyone will even realize they’re being redirected. Enjoy!

<?php
   if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
      $currentPage = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
      echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='. $currentPage .'">';
      return;
   }

   // HERE IS WHERE YOU PUT IN YOUR PAGES/DOMAINS TO TEST. FEEL FREE TO COPY AND PASTE MORE!
   $domains   = array();
   $domains[] = 'quietaffiliate.com';
   $domains[] = 'twitter.com/quietaffiliate';
   $domains[] = 'wickedfire.com';

   $ct = count($domains)-1;
   $currentDomain = $domains[rand(0, $ct)];

   header("Location: http://www.$currentDomain/", TRUE, 301);
?>
