seo news rss xml feed SEO Tip: Adding Custom Blogs to Facebook

Social media sites like Facebook, Myspace, and Youtube can be very lucrative for SEO efforts. From link building to increasing online traffic to branding, social media sites are getting more and more popular amongst all age groups.

One way to drive traffic from social sites is to show off your blog.

Here's how to add your blog to your Facebook profile:

1. Register and login to facebook.com



2. In the top-left corner, click "Edit" (next to Applications)

Add RSS to Facebook



3. At the top-right click "Browse More Applications"




4. At the top-right type "blog" or "blogs"into the search box to the right of Application Directory and press enter.




5. Now just choose an application that will post your blog or RSS feed to your Facebook profile and click "Add Application" on the top right of the application's profile.



Note: If Facebook does not recognize your blog or the articles don't link correctly, then try signing up for an account on Feedburner.com to "burn" your feed. Then paste the new burned feed ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedName ) into the applications settings.

I love your idea for adding a blog to facebook, etc. In fact, I have done this, but I used a different application called "Flog Blog." I'm not sure what the difference is between your suggestion and Flog Blog, but the latter works for me................:)

Flog Blog is perfect. I was merely suggesting that you use any application in the list that works best for you.

You may also want to try the pre-installed application called Notes. I hear that works good as well.
