Are you part of the I Follow Movement?

by Tricia

A few days ago I wrote a post on one of my other sites about the I Follow movement and how many bloggers have decided to remove the rel no follow tags from the comment sections of their blogs so that they could give their visitors that took the time to stop and leave a comment a real link.

Now, I’ve had a plugin on my sites called Comment Plugger for the better part of the last year and this plugin gave my site visitors a real link directly under the post whenever they left a comment. Now I’ve also added the Do Follow Plugin to all of our sites to ensure that all comments left anywhere on our sites provide real links that will be picked up by the search engines for our site visitors.

If you’d like to become part of the I Follow movement, either go into your sites template and change the no follow tags to follow tags in your comment section, or if you are a wordpress user download the No Follow plugin and simply activate it in order to provide links that search engines can follow when your visitors leave a comment.

If you’ve already removed the No Follow tags I’d also like to invite you to join the Do Follow blogroll that I created this past Sunday. The list is growing daily and already has at least 50 blogs listed on it. I’d love to add your site too! Visit my Do Follow bloggers page to learn what you need to do to qualify for the list, then send me a message and I’ll email the blogroll code to you so that you can add it to your site. Simple as that – soon you too can be a Do Follow Blogger.

If you’d like to get on the D-List and pass it on to others, along with the benefit of spreading the links of sites that are part of the I follow movement please read my post “Have you been following the I follow movement” over on Tricia’s Musings. Copy the current list and add some Do follow sites to the list and post your own altered version of the list on your site. Spread the word.

How to create aggregated content

by Tricia

There are many ways to create aggregated content for your site. One of the ways that I’d like to discuss today is creating aggregated content with Feedburner.

I’m not certain how, using this method, you would get other sites aggregated content, but if you have more than one website and want to promote one sites content on your other site then this method is very easy to do. The first steps are of course to create an account with Feedburner, and create a feedburner feed for your site.

Sign into your feedburner account, select one of your sites feedburner feeds, and then go to the Publicize section, and select BuzzBoost.

Setting up BuzzBoost for your sites feedburner feed will give you a piece of HTML code that you can place on a website or blog page to show the latest feeds for a particular site. There are a number of options you can select – one is how many recent posts to show, whether to show the posts in plain text of html, as an excerpt or full text and so on.

When I first set up this site I decided to aggregate the content of my other blogs and websites and display it here on my “My other Sites” page.

I set up the feeds for my other sites to show three recent posts, and I created an image of each site to place above it’s aggregated content. Underneath each of the feeds, and in fact underneath each one of the posts on this site there is a “subscribe to this feed” link. I created that link using FeedFlare in the optimizing section of Feedburner.

Give this a try if you’d like to cross promote your sites.

FeedBlitz – RSS subscriptions by email

by Tricia

When I first signed up to Feedburner in order to provide another form of RSS feed to my readers FeedBlitz was strongly associated with Feedburner. I believe that while the two are still associated, FeedBlitz is more of a stand alone offering now.

So what is Feedblitz anyway? Well, to keep it simple, Feedblitz is just another way of providing your site visitors and hopefully subscribers with a way to be notified that you have written new posts on your site.

Anyone subscribing to your sites feed through Feedblitz can get a summary or the full text, depending upon how you set things up, of your most recent posts by email.

Think about it. RSS feeds have been around for quite a while now, but at first it wasn’t as easy to deliver RSS content to your site visitors as it is now. Also, even though RSS feeds have been around for years there are many people out there that still have no idea what they are, or how to use a feed reader. The whole concept can be confusing to a newbie. Luckily almost everyone understands what email is so it makes sense to provide your site content in email form to your site visitors who’d like to subscribe to your site and be notified when you’ve updated your site doesn’t it?

It’s easy to set up your site feeds on FeedBlitz. Once you add your site feed, FeedBlitz will provide you with a code that you can place on your site that will make it easy for your site visitors to subscribe to your feed. Once they subscribe you’ll be able to keep track of how many email subscribers your site has through the account interface on Feedblitz.

You can customize how your site content is delivered to your subscribers via email, and you can schedule delivery times as well.

Take a look at FeedBlitz if you are looking for yet another way to promote your sites content.
