Randomized RSS Feeds
It’s Friday afternoon, so I figured I’d give everyone something to play with over the weekend.
If you’re building large quantities of large sites, you should consider building randomized RSS feeds. It’s a great way to get high-quality links to the deepest parts of your sites.
The first thing you need to understand is how to build a static (traditional) RSS feed. There are a ton of tutorials out there, so I’m not going to go over that in detail. However, I will point you to this one, which I found very straightforward.
Instead of building your RSS feed to display the last 10 posts of your blog or the last 10 articles you wrote, you’re going to program it to randomly pull the keywords from several of your large sites.
Unfortunately, I can’t give you any code samples because it depends on your back end database structure. If you’re smart enough to build and maintain your own dynamic sites, I’m sure you’ll figure out how to pull the keywords out of your DB and wrap some XML around them.
Once you have your randomized feed, you can plaster it on any site that lets you publish your RSS feed.
The great thing about this strategy is that you build it once, promote it once, and the next thing you know you have links from hundreds of sites that you can control from your feed script. If Google decides to ban one of your sites you can tweak your code and make sure you’re not wasting any of your links on it.
If you’re advanced, you can set it up to only display links from sites that have been created in the past X days. You can also work some mod rewrite magic to make your one feed look like infinity feeds (http://www.mysite.com/rss/1, http://www.mysite.com/rss/2, etc.).
Trust me, it works.
