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):

Here’s a giant list of updated social bookmarking sites that you can post your links on to get backlinks and improve your SERP. They’re listed in order by pagerank as of June ’09.

Matt over on the WF forums had recently posted a SQL database that he had created comprised of first and last names, a great resource to have handy when auto-generating identities, accounts, comment authors, etc.. While it was a pretty large list, it still wasn’t as complete as the one i’ve been using over the years (also it was separated by gender and used one giant table instead of segmenting the first and last names into two). I figured that if I was going to complain about something free, I might as well provide something in return, so here’s your chance to download a free first and last name database in both SQL and CSV formats (pick your poison). There are a total of 5494 first-names and 88799 last-names allowing for a never-ending source of randomly generated full names.

Free Name Database Download – SQL:
.sql File | .zip File

Free Name Database Download – CSV:
First Names (5494) – .csv File & Last Names (88799) – .csv File
I also compressed them both for easy download – .zip of both files

enjoy.
