How To Get Deep Links with RSS Feeds

When I'm looking for ways to promote my lenses, RSS feed directories are usually the way I go. Rather than bookmark on Social bookmarking sites, I prefer to submit the RSS feeds to directories.

Some of my best lenses have back links in RSS directories and they're doing well because of them.

It's often easy to forget about RSS as not all sites have them set up already but Squidoo Lenses do, which also include your Lensmaster profile.

If you want to know where to find the RSS feed for your lenses are, one place to look (if you're running Firefox) is the address bar.

Another place is the top of each lens where you will also find links to Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon etc.

To find good RSS directories to submit your feeds to, then check out the Squidoo Lens below published by theFluffanutta.

Squidoo Friendly Social Bookmarking Sites

Only recently have I really begun to realise the importance of bookmarking my Squidoo Lenses.

Looking at some of my worst lenses for traffic, almost all of them have not been bookmarked enough. It's not so much the back links that they are missing either. Although the back link total is not brilliant, it's not that bad either.

So, why aren't they doing that well?

All I can think of is that I just haven't submitted them enough to social bookmarking sites mainly because of my fear of being labelled a spammer. This is because, if I find a good site, my first thought is not to share it with everybody on the internet but to save it in my personal bookmark folder for future reference.

So, I kind of feel that bookmarking sites are surplus to my requirements unless I'm using them to promote my own sites, hence the problem I mentioned above to do with spamming.

However, it seems they desperately need the exposure (not so much the back link, although this is important too) to do well.

So, it's a quandary; do I bookmark or not?

I've featured here a good Squidoo lens that will give you some of the bookmarking sites that accept Squidoo Lenses for submission. Just to give you a head start :)

Look out for new publications

Remember when I suggested using a file expander to collect information like magazine articles on your lens' topics?

I'm just wondering how many of you are doing this or is it still me? ;)

You'd be surprised at just how extensive your research on a subject can be. E.g. there are so many different ways that you can cope with Depression and not all of them are 'of this world'. Keep an eye out on this particular lens (it's due for an update) and you'll see exactly what I mean.

I buy magazines regularly (about once a week) and I usually buy the exact same ones every time. I find they give me the greatest scope of subjects. I'm thinking, though, of dropping one of them (too much celebrity stuff) but it still might give me enough research material for my one celebrity lens.

Buying the magazines also enables me to look out for new publications that happen to hit the streets. One of which is the publication of celebrity twitter'ers. Damn! But, if I buy it, at least then I can give it a review and recommend it for sale :)
