FeedBurner Tip: Get Free Backlinks Using Your RSS Feed
Yesterday, John Cow introduced me to Feedbite(see my custom feed). With this free service, I can show all my latest posts. It will use your post titles so you can't anchor them. But the cool thing is that they are dofollow links.
So, I registered and created a "bundle" of 2 RSS feeds. I went to verify the links but they were all pointing to FeedBurner. You know the long URL that say nothing about the content of the post.
How to fixed that:
- Login into FeedBurner
- Select the feed
- Click on FeedBurner Stats (bottom)
- Unchecked (you will get less stats)
- and Save
The result
After, I went back to Feedbite and it was now showing the real URL to my blog. I then looked at McGrath Dot Ca on 1 Cool File and it was showing the real URL of the 5 RSS feed.
Conclusion
To some, it's seemed evident but I noticed that many "known" bloggers are unaware of that. Besides, a link is a link.
If used with 45 Sites To Submit Your RSS Feed, then you may get a few more free links.

I have actually been testing RSS feeds and which ones google really likes….
Feedbite, Feedage and 2RSS work really well. In fact, on a couple of my keywords, I am actually getting sometimes as high as 4 links that funnel into my site.
