Phoenix SEO Rachael Butts Link Building Tutorial Step 12 | Social Media
Social Media for SEO can sometimes become overwhelming. Trust me I know. Update status here, tagged photo there, a new Farmville animal gathered, and eventually you throw your hands up in defeat because there is no way you can keep up.
That is why I set the whole thing on autopilot by setting my RSS feed to automatically post to Twitter and Facebook, and in doing that it leaves me a wonderful super fantastic link to my post! It also uses my title and description, so I am using my keyphrases as well. A double win.
So, to do that I use Twitterfeed along with my RSS feed burned by FeedBurner. Now, you do not have to burn your RSS feed with FeedBurner, but I highly recommend it. If you don’t know how check out my Phoenix SEO tutorial on it. Very easy, and takes 5 minutes.
How to set up your Feed to Automatically Post to Twitter and Facebook:
1. Create a Twitter Feed Account
2. Get your Feed Title /Feed Url and copy and paste them into TwitterFeed.
3. Create Services ( Facebook and Twitter) It will ask you to authenticate and make sure you are authenticating it with the account you want. This is for people with multiple blogs and social media sites.
4. Save it and write a post to test it if you like.
5. Warning…it does take about an hour sometimes to have the post appear on the social media sites, because it only updates every hour, so if it doesn’t show up right away…Don’t freak out! ( I did)
* A few words in leaving. Always remember that spamming is for losers, and you won’t gain any friends by being spammy and leaving your shameless links all over the place. Social media is a great way to share other people’s content and in turn they will share yours. It is like that Bible verse. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
