Is it worth submitting a blog's RSS feed...

[PeterAlexLeigh]

to as many RSS feed directories as possible?

Or would this have a similar negative impact that you'd get from submitting a site to loads to "potentially spammy" site directories?

Hi Shelly,

In my opnion is the same thing. If it is a spamm directory, you will suffer in the same way.

Working with spann directories is always a bad idea. I read a post from Cyrius in SEOMOZ blog that i think will help you. You should read it: Conquer Link Directory Best Pratices for Seo.

Naghirniac - thanks

I think you may be right, but it's seems so, so easy to submit to RSS directories and therefore potentially easy to give compeitors a shed load of 'crappy' links.

At least with site directories you have to complete more than one field!

You should work in the directories at http://www.seomoz.org/directories. The chance to get a spann directory is small and you will have hundreds of directories to submit.

It's tempting but I'm well off the idea of site directories for a while. I think they can add value in the form of IP diversity, but I'm staying clear for a while

I'd hoped that RSS directories would be different!

RSS directories don't have too much impact in my experience.

Most CMS usually have pinging settings. Make sure this is active so that search engines and other websites detect the fresh content on your site sooner rather than later.

Hope this helps,

Vahe

Vahe -  Thanks; I think I do need to tweak my pinging settings
