The Simple Truth About Building One Way Links 
By: KC Kudra
RSS Feeds, Link Popularity and One-way Link Building Strategies
An effective link building strategy can be achieved by utilizing RSS feeds as a way to increase link popularity. Real Simple Syndication usually referred to, as RSS is a way for websites to syndicate their content to other sites. RSS feeds and blogging make it easy to build your links into your shared content.
The more times your RSS feed shows up on other sites the more links there will be to your site. Each of these links is like a tiny endorsement for your site and adds points to your link popularity. The good thing now a days are most major blogging platforms like Blogger.com and WordPress a major independent open source blog script include RSS capability. Another way if your blogging system doesn't have RSS capability you can use a program like (RSS Builder is freeware) or another good one is FeedForAll.
This is one of the greatest ways to syndicate your content to other sites. Building your sites link popularity couldn't be any easier with built in RSS capability on your site. These one-way backlinks from these many different sites help build your websites link popularity, as each is in essence a vote of approval for your site.
A Word about Strict RSS Validation
When using the ever-popular WordPress blogging script you will find a multiple amount of plugins that will work with it. Of these one of the more important plugins for our discussion is the ones that make adding your RSS feed to peoples feed readers simple. One of the more popular ones is available from the website AddThis.com they make a plugin for there popular bookmarking and social networking announcement services.
Services like My MSN, My Yahoo, and iGoogle have RSS readers built into them and you can simply add feeds to your homepage. You need to be careful when making your blog post titles, as services like My MSN are very picky and adhere to very strict RSS validation. What this means to you as a blog owner is be very careful of things like apostrophes and quotation marks as these don't validate under strict RSS and your feeds will not load into My MSN.
The problem here is when you have a title that naturally seems to need an apostrophe is a common one. A title like "President Bush's New Budget Leaves Many Disappointed" this seems like an obvious natural title for the subject but will cause your blog title to be kicked out by the validator. Instead try something like this instead "The New Budget of the Bush Administration Leaves Many Disappointed." The difference is subtle to the reader but will avoid any potential problems with it validating.
Blog Pinging Service Success Guide
These simple one-way link-building strategies are possible by intelligently using a solid blog pinging service. Of course, you will need to write interesting and informative content and update your blog regularly for this strategy to work. However, if you provide good value to readers then blog pinging is a wonderful way to get the word out.
You want to pick a pinging service, which allows you to ping multiple services from one web location. You could go to each service but this is a) unnecessary and b) very time consuming which kind of goes against the nature of blogging. You want to be able to ping dozens of RSS aggregators, search engines and feed directories from one simple to use web form.
Another useful hint is to ping each service separately as they respond at different rates and we find you get a more complete ping of the different services. This really doesn't take that much more time as your information is already in the form so it is fairly easy to work through the list. There are positives and negatives to all the different pinging services but the time saved and the added links will more than make it worth your while. One last note don't think that if pinging once is good that doing it multiple times is better this is a sure way to get your site banned as a Spam site, so don't do it.
