After you have some articles approved by EZA, submit your author feed to some RSS directories, which will help to gain exposure for any that you write from now on.
RSS is a collection of frequently updated works, such as blog posts, news headlines and in our case, articles. Since you will be updating your published articles on EZA a lot of the time, you will be missing out if you do not post your RSS feed link onto some of the many RSS directories available.
Many people do not do this and they are missing out on a quick way to boost all of your article search engine rankings and of course the chance of visitors finding those articles.
To get your author RSS feed, you must have live articles in your EZA account. You can use the following URL – replace your name at the end, using an underscore instead of s space. To get an underscore you usually need to hold down the shift key and press dash. Since keyboard layouts can be different however, look for the horizontal line at the bottom. ( _ )
An example of what your author bio link URL is the following:
http://ezinearticles.com/?expert_bio=Your_Author
If you have live articles, you can view your profile from the EZA control panel. Click on the view profile link and you can see the URL there. This will only work when you have live articles however.
At your author profile page, you need to click on the RSS icon, and then the XML button that appears. Copy the URL you are taken to and paste it into notepad. This is highlighted in the image below. If you aren’t familiar with the RSS icon it is usually the rounded square with 3 curves in it.
The URL you now have should be submitted to as many RSS directories as you can find. You only need to do this one time since RSS is designed for frequently updated feeds, so get this done as soon as you have live articles published.
It can be quite time consuming to do this and the amount of time will depend on how many RSS directories you submit your feed too but its well worth it, and as you only have to do this step once you can forget about it once you have done it. You should start with the following feed directories, but feel free to find your own too. You don’t need to sign up to a lot of these sites either.
- http://grazr.com
- http://feedagg.com
- http://feedage.com
- http://rssfeeds.com
- http://rssmicro.com
- http://feedbase.net
- http://feedfury.com
- http://findrss.net
- http://millionrss.com
- http://publisher.yahoo.com/rss_guide/submit.php
If you want to find other RSS sites, you can always use google and search for “RSS directory” or “free RSS directory” and take a look at some of the results that come back. You should also take a moment to submit the RSS feed of your website. For wordpress, the URL will be http://www.yourwebsite.com/rss
