Where To Submit My RSS Feeds And Weblog
URLs To Get More Exposure, Visibility And Reach
*As more and more people get involved
with the Internet and as more Web sites, blogs, news services and other
online resources continue to grow in number and variety it becomes
increasingly important to maintain high visibility and exposure for the
content being generated by closely following the major distribution media.
Until now the web was populated by Web
sites and other HTML-based content pages, and the main vehicle for
reaching content has been the large use of major search engines and
directories.
As a rapidly increasing number of
content sources, new and old, migrate or add RSS as a key distribution
channel, and as more people utilize RSS
newsreaders and aggregators to keep themselves informed, the ability to
maintain high exposure and visibility is gradually shifted from a complete
attention to major search engines and content optimization techniques to an
increasing awareness of RSS feed directories and search tools.
If until now the world of content
optimization online went under the umbrella of
SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine
marketing) from now it exist, at least in principle the opportunity to grow
another complementary field tentatively called RSSEM (RSS search engine
marketing).
I have been inspired and prompted
to do this first by my own need to support skilled
change agents and communicators like the ones I personally support (http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp,
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris,
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/ivaningrilli) and also by
Ari
Paparo nice initiative of starting to collect online resources where one
could easily submit her new blog/RSS feed.
I have personally tested each one
of these services to make sure that they are alive and functioning.
One of the key benefits
of this reference list is that it provides all of the submission links
directly, so that you don't have to waste any time at all to find these at
each destination site. This by itself is a significant effort, especially as
a number of sites make it consciously hard to find this info, in order to
discourage spam and superficial or automated submissions. In some cases I
have been able to dig out valuable emails and contact forms after a lot of
searching.
I have not included
regional or geographically limited directories or search engines, and have
dropped any service that did not look reliable or trustable.
By adding up a good set of new and
important resources I have been able to more than double up
on Ari's initial list of submission sites while extending the coverage to
important global news syndicators. The list is also unique as it offers only
english-based global directories and no specialized or niche resources.
Other lists available online
and which I have credited are either too superficial and not up-to-date (including
many sites that either do not work or are not reliable) or listing many
search services and tools which do not rely on manual submission to become
aware of new blogs/sites/RSS feeds.
I think that this is a VERY
powerful list to use to increase your RSS feed/blog
exposure and visibility online. If you organize yourself well, with an excel
spreadsheet and the time to track your process through it, you can do the
whole effort in less than a day and you can start to see the results the day
after.
The directories to which to submit
your RSS feed are listed in my very subjective order of importance.
Higher up are those directories that, in my experience, will give you much
higher exposure, visibility, credibility and traffic than any of those
listed toward the end. After a point (say from ranking n°20 onward) the
order is also not too relevant anymore as I did not have yet any specific
criteria to properly rank these many different these resources. Proceed
accordingly. (If you are interested in a properly ranked and sorted
version of the RSSTop55 plus a unique set of complementary powerful tactics
and resources to further increase your RSS-based content exposure and
visibility online, look into the
RSSTop55
Premium.)

http://chordata.geckotribe.com/
Chordata is the name of the animal phylum

chosen, for a number of reasons: a) Chordata categorizes newsfeeds
heirarchically by their content (similar to how living things are
categorized by family, phylum, class, genus, species, etc.), b) Chordata is
a directory of newsfeeds of various types (RSS, Atom, etc.), c) Chordata is
prounounced like "core data"--a phrase that is descriptive of many newsfeeds,
etc. etc.. The company behind this RSS feeds directory service develops
quality tools to manage, parse, aggregate, filter and syndicate RSS feeds (newsmaster
tools).

Other tactics
1) Pinging Key Directories
The databases of key RSS feeds can be
pinged when your site/blog/RSS feed is updated. These include:
weblogs.com
Technorati
blo.gs
Since a few days also the Yahoo's
RSS database can be pinged when your blog updates.
This ensures that your site/blog/RSS feed will be crawled/indexed in a very
timely manner.
The entry point you need to use is: http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2.
It's just like
the weblogs.com ping API.
If you'd prefer a REST API, it has
that too. For example, to register an update for my blog, I'd fetch this URL:
http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog
It is possible to do it with a simple
bookmark if your weblog software doesn't allow you to add more ping targets.
Just create that link and drag it to your button bar, bookmarks, favorites,
and click it anytime you have updated your feed. or whatnot. (I'm working on
a quick HOWTO for adding My Yahoo pings to MovableType. It's quite easy,
really.)
This is also documented.
