Ezine Articles Feed Workaround
Hi all
I hope everyone is well, it has been a crazy few weeks here between family visits and the World cup amongst other things. That is why it has taken me so long to post about this.
When ezine Articles changed the way they supply rss feeds sometime in April I did a blog post explaining how it had made it impossible for the Indexing tool to check the status of ezine articles.
I was hoping to get a program made that would pull a real feed from ezine articles and allow you to use that. I am still hoping to get that done but I know that people need a work around until we get that sorted.
So I did a video with a workaround, it isnt perfect but it works
As soon as I get a software solution sorted I will be in touch and send it out to everyone but I thought I would share this with you for now.

Get Maximum Use From Trackback Rss Feed
When you use a program like UAW to send out articles you will get 100′s if not thousands of links back to your site, this is a great thing!
Sadly not all of the pages which have your articles on will get indexed, this is where we come in. By adding the trackback feed plugin to your WordPress sites (it is a free bonus with the indexing tool) you have a ready to use rss feed with all the trackbacks to your site.
RSS feeds are wonderful things, they can be used in so many ways that it makes your head spin. One of the ways to use the RSS feed is by adding it into the Indexing plugin. This will help get them indexed, but is there anything else you can do to help indexing?
Of course there is, and you know what I whole heatedly recommend that you do all you can to get the trackbacks indexed. When those pages get indexed it is like having a extra link to your site and the best bit is that you didn’t have to write any more content or do any heavy lifting to get that link.
One way to get them indexed is by submitting the rss feed to the rss aggregator sites, this is only one way and I will be sharing more ways with you over the next week or so.

Thanks for watching the video. The program I use in the video can be found at RSS BOT
While I recommend using software for many tasks, and remember you can use rssbot to submit rss feeds from your sites as well as the trackback rss feed, you can do it manually if money is tight.
Thanks go out to Daniel McGonagle for this list, he has a more extensive list on his site but these will get you started.

So all you do is take your trackback feed and submit it to as many rss directories as you can. While it may seem strange to be helping other people get their pages indexed, remember this helps you get more links!
