My name is Shannon Phelps.

My philosophy is ‘Who do I need to BECOME to reach my goals”. So I believe in personal growth and business growth… and believe you need both to succeed.

Ultimate Internet Marketing Tools is not just about the latest software tools and strategies, although I will cover a lot of the great ones I find. It’s about finding the tools within yourself, about learning the fundamentals in marketing and business and about finding the best education and courses to give you the skills you need to get to the next level.

If you have seen this blog before you’ll know that I let it slip a bit in 2010… well A LOT. But I was spending 2010 in ‘Guru Blueprint’ by the genius marketer Eben Pagan and ‘PLF’ by Jeff Walker. In doing that I have developed a uncontrollable love for what I now call VALUE MARKETING.

My Mission in 2011 is to provide as much value to people’s lives as I can possibly give. If I ONLY took away one thing from Eben Pagan (and I didn’t… I learnt more than I could have ever hoped for) it would be the life changing take away to influence people positively and give away all of your best ideas.

I am a software and computer nerd, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE business and marketing, self improvement and development, psychology, getting the edge and believe in GROWTH and EDUCATION… so that’s what UltimateInternetMarketingTools.com is all about.

As I grow, so will Ultimate Internet Marketing Tools… so jump on board and we can grow together…

“If you’re not growing… your dying”

I BELIEVE IN GROWTH!

The 3 Killer Ways to Use RSS feeds.

In this article:

• How to get your RSS Feed
• Adding RSS Subscribe Buttons to Your Blog
• Submit your rss feeds to directories – List of directories & some automated tools
• Use RSS feeds as Content – WP Plugins and how to Mix Feeds

Let’s start with the basics… what is an RSS feed? RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. In terms of your blog, your rss feed is a feed of your blog posts. When someone subscribes to your feed they will be notified when you add a new blog post by the rss aggregator they use. An aggregator accesses the RSS feeds of websites a person subscribes to and organizes the results. That is a very basic description.

-

There are 3 main ways you can use RSS feeds:

1. You must put rss buttons (rss chicklets) on your blog so readers can easily subscribe to your feed… that way they’ll come back!
2. You should submit your rss feed to rss directories, much like you do with articles, videos etc.
3. You can subscribe to rss feeds to automatically add content to your website

How to get your rss feed

This is very easy. If you use WordPress, then it creates a feed for you automatically:

http://www.yourdomain.___/feed/

Basically just add /feed/ to the end of your domain.

If for any reason you need to create it yourself, an extremely popular rss creator is Feedburner.com.

• You just sign up for a Google account or sign in with your Adwords account.
• Enter your feed address and hit ‘Next’
• Enter the details about your feed name
• Once feed is burnt take note of the feed address
• Now choose what platform you are going to put your rss button/chicklet on and follow the instructions

Adding rss Buttons/Chicklets to your Blog

Even though you have an rss button on your site it is still a good idea to add the rss aggregator buttons that are commonly used so your feed goes into the mix of the aggregator the reader always use ie. Google, My Yahoo, My MSN etc.
TIP: Always use Subscribe, Google, My Yahoo, My AOL and then others you are familiar with. Between 5 and 8 is a good amount.

TIP: Many Themes now have an RSS chicklet on the theme so there is no need to add the button to your blog. Just see if you can see the rss logo, “Subscribe” “Subscribe: Comments Posts”… or something like that.

Get the chicklets from:

Feedburner

TotallyFreeBlogTools

Top Rank Blog

Once you have the code either paste it into your sidebar.php code from Appearance/Editor/Sidebar.php OR
Add the code as a Text option under Widgets: Appearance/Widgets – Drag text box into the sidebar and paste the code into the text box, then save.

Submit your rss feeds to directories

This is self explanatory. Just take your rss feed (either yourdomain.___/feed OR your feedburner feed) and submit to the following directories.
TIP: As soon as you add about 5 initial posts to your site (try to do in the first day or 2) then add your site to feedage.com… it helps get you indexed really quickly!

Automated RSS Submiters

RSS Submit – This submits to over 100 rss sites. It is expensive but highly recommended if you value rss and use rss submissions for your backlinking blogs, article author rss feeds, squidoo etc.

All Scoop RSS Submit – This is a free rss submitter which submits to about 30 directories. It is Windows only.

RSS Directories

Feedagg.com
BlogPulse.com
AZFeeds.com
Feedage.com
Yahoo Publisher rss
Plazoo.com
Feedbite.com
rssFeeds.com
FeedRaider.com
FeedSubmitter.com
FeedSee.com
rssMountain.com
GoldenFeed.com
Feedbase.net
rssMicro.com
rssMotron.com

FeedFury.com – Even if you register you have to do a quiz & give up some details!

Use rss feeds as Content

This is a way to get additional content onto your blogs but IT SHOULD NEVER BE ALONE. It can be up to 25% of your total content and to make it more accepted by Google you can add a paragraph to the start of the feed to add some uniqueness to it.

IMPORTANT: I must stress that if this is your main blog that you want build on and keep for years to come then do not use this technique. If you are doing all you can to keep on the good side of Google… DON’T use this technique. It is for additional, supporting blogs that you need help building the content for but aren’t really important to rank well with Google.

Plugins to use RSS feeds as content

To use automated posting of content to your blogs you will need a plug in to do this. You can add these plugins by downloading them and transferring to the plugins folder on your WordPress site OR the easy way is to choose ‘Add New’ under the Plugins menu and do a search for ‘WP o Matic’

WP o Matic - This has some advanced features like being able to select a specific category for a feed and also the use of a templating system which allows you to add code or text targeted to that rss feed.

Feed WordPress

Mixing RSS Feeds

If you want to make an rss feed from several pages or sites use:

Yahoo Pipes – This is the best way to mix feeds as it is allows for so much control and versatility. You have so many options for filters to block certain keywords, stop duplicate posts, use different types of rss inputs and much more. Another huge benefit is the fact that you can alter it as opposed to many others where once you mix it, is is unchangeable.

RSS Mix – This is a great way to mix rss feeds. It is easier to use than Yahoo Pipes but lacks the advanced features. If you just want a quick and basic mix that won’t change then this will be a great option.

Top 5 - Article Marketing Tools

Keep reading for more of the Top Article Marketing Tools…

There are 2 ways to successfully use article marketing and you need to have a strategy for each option. Internet marketers fail because they don’t grasp the difference and use one technique for both.
Here are the 2 strategies and how to approach each one:

1. Gain Quality Backlinks
   This requires submitting unique content to the major Article Directories like EzineArticles.com, Go.Articles.com etc and ones with a high page rank. Although you want to use EzineArticles, the trick is to be random with everything you do so mix it up. You also want to mix up your links to home page and internal pages… and alter the anchor text ie. use website address, keywords, LSI keywords etc. For recognized backlinks you want to keep your content 100% unique when Google first sees it… that’s the key “when Google first sees it”. After Google indexes it and sees traffic going to it you can then reuse the article by spinning it and using on less important sites and/or mass submitting it for traffic.
   It is up to you as to how “unique” you want to be… the minimum you want to change an indexed article/blog post/web content is 30% so rewrite the 1st paragraph, last paragraph and change some wording in the other paragraphs. You can use Article Spinning software to help with this by rewriting once and turning into 10 to hundreds of unique articles (see below)
   TIP: Publish unique content on your site first or premium Article Directories. Once it has been indexed by Google and they see some traffic and links going to it, spin it and publish in article directories.
   TIP: EzineArticles.com has quite strict guidelines… and that’s why Google loves them! They won’t accept a lot of spun content so you need high quality, original content for them but it is definitely worth it.
2. For Traffic
   When you are using Article submissions for traffic you want to submit to as many directories as you can. You are not concerned with duplicate content as you are not wanting links so mass submit your article to as many directories as possible. An automated article submitter save you a lot of time (see below)
   TIP: Although you are mass submitting you still want to use high quality content to encourage click & therefore traffic… if your article isn’t very good who is going to click on the link to your site to read more?

Top Article Directories

More Options

There are services available now where you submit your articles which get distributed to publishers who accept content on their site. They get put on themed related sites so the article and link is relevant. These are great for backlinks and show a variety of links as opposed to just the normal social bookmarking, article directories and video sites. You can’t control where they go so you have no control over the Page Rank or quality of the site so it is not a use alone strategy though it is a great additional one. One last point is that you can become one of the blogs that accept articles… free unique content!

• Firepow 2.0 – Besides posting content to blog network it also: sets up SEO wordpress blogs & auto content and accepts unique content from other members, backlinking, social bookmarking, all run from admin interface… powerful stuff! They have a $1 for 14 Trial >> Click Here For $1 Trial
• Unique Article Wizard - Posts to blog network. Also has: submit to article directories, videos, audio and pictures, spinning ability (though I am not 100% sure how this works. I will let you know when I sign up late Feb) and you can post articles to your own blogs controlling everything from one central point.
• Article Marketing Automation – A good service.
• Content Crooner – Submits to Article Directories and the Blog Network
• ArticleQast - though they use the same network as Unique Article Wizard & UAW has more features unless you get ArticleQast through StomperNet which is outstanding.

Article Directory Submitters

Article Directory Submitters automate the process for you as article submission is a very time consuming task. Some article submitters will automate 99% of the process, whilst others require you to do some work. There are many on the market so try to get one which also allows you to spin content and has the top article directories included.

Here are a few you can check out. I have not used any of these so I cannot comment or recommend, I just did some research in the Warrior Forum and these were the ones recommended:

• Unique Article Wizard – This is web based. It is a monthly subscription and has a Money Back Guarantee. It has an outsource article writing arm and a spinning capability. It submits to hundreds of article directories, ezines and over 10,000 blogs. It will post to your own blogs so you can manage all of your content from one area. It also manages video, pictures and audio. AND if you want you can have articles submitted to your blog from other members (that’s the 10,000+ blog network). It’s pretty amazing.
• Magic Article Rewriter and Submitter – This also looks pretty good but there was a note saying it doesn’t submit to the top directories… you may need to check that one out. You can buy them both separately so up to you. There are videos on the sales page so make sure you watch them (if you can put up with the automated voice) as the software looks pretty good.
• Article Submitter (Brad Callen) – There are 2 versions of this. A free one which submits to 80 directories but some of them don’t work and you have to do one directory at a time OR a paid one which has over 700 directories and is completely automated… there wasn’t any feedback on this product though Brad Callen in general is highly regarded and normally produces great products. NOTE: For Limited ability FREE version click link above, then click ‘Article Submitter’ tab along top, the ‘Download For FREE Here’

Article Spinners

There are 2 types of spinners: fully automated and ones where you need to do a bit of work re-writing sentences or selecting words to replace. Whilst the 1st options sounds amazing and can produce 1000 articles from just 1 article, usually only 5% of those articles are just gibberish. If you put in 30 mins with a good spinning program then you can create 10+ unique, quality articles that the directories will accept. The more time and options you put into the system, the more spun articles you will get.

• The Best Spinner – The name speaks for itself, it REALLY IS! This has a HUGE database (hundreds of thousands) of useful synonyms for not only words, but also phrases. It is very impressive. Lots of great features which make spinning articles really quick, easy and high quality. Watch the video on the Sales page to see it’s power, if you spin then it will be worth 15 minutes of your time as it will save you days over time. It also includes PLR as you can use other users submitted articles, you can add your articles to the directory with your links for backlinks AND you can post straight to WordPress… I cannot recommend it highly enough!
• Magic Article Rewriter – Seperate software to Magic Article Submitter but you can purchase both together for a discounted price.
• Unique Article Wizard – See above

Article Writing Software

Instant Article Wizard 2.0 – This is a software program by Jonathan Leger which speeds up the writing process BIG TIME. You put in your keyword and it will go and grab heaps of sentences from articles using that keyword. you then drag the sentences you want into your article and you can have a new article, in on a topic you know nothing about in minutes. You can then submit as is or quickly fix it up for complete uniqueness… maybe use a spinner at the same time so you can get 10+ articles from that one. Watch the video on the Sales Page to see how great it is… Click Here!

Additional Handy Tools

Word Count Tool – Check how many words your article has

Copyscape – Check to see if you article shows any duplicate content on the web. .05c per search. Good if you’ve rewritten an PLR or want to check articles you’ve had outsourced to ensure they are 100% unique.

Article Checker – Free duplicate content checker. Check your article against the web. Not as detailed or accurate as Copyscape but will do the job.

GoScorpio Dupe Check – Free. Compare 2 articles to see how similar they are. Also has a keyword density checker. I haven’t used this so cannot give any more details than the download page.
