I have been using Feedjit on this blog and a few of my other “personal” blogs for a few months now. The main reason I used the widget was to see the real live traffic entering and exiting my site. It’s really all fascinating to me. Just scroll down on this site and you will see it in my sidebar.
Anyhow this morning I decided to check out my stats with Google’s webmaster tools. I was curious how certain blog posts were getting external links when I was not social bookmarking them etc.
All 18 links were from Feedjit!
So, are these really back links?
Google seems to think so. What about Yahoo?
Yep, I spotted some of the links here.
So bottom line is that if you are not using Feedjit on your blog you are missing out on free ongoing back links for next to no effort. The only effort is the one time customization of your widget. You don’t even have to register for it! Then just slap the code on your site and forget about it!
I use the javascript version. But there is also an image widget that is ideal for: Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress.com, Myspace, Live Journal and any other site that does not allow you to use javascript.
I am not sure why some posts got back links and why others have not. Maybe it only adds your feed once a week or so but still…it’s free back links!
Thanks for sharing this. I saw this on your front page. I think it’s cool to see where people are coming from. I look at the live stats in Statcounter LOL I’ll have to try this too. You can also get backlinks using the Widgetbox. Those show up right away in Yahoo as backlinks!
Cool thanks for this tip! I added Feedjit to one of my blogs to see how it works.
Thanks for reminding me about that Sara. I always forget about widgetbox.

Yeah I also see it in my webmaster tool as it recorded the backlinks gained from feedjit in the past.
But I was thinking before that its not a good quality link because it has no effort at all.
Does it give us do follow?

One of the most important factors in Search Engine Optimization is the number of incoming links to your website, the relevance of the website linking to you, the anchor text used for the link, and the page ranking of the webpage linking to you. We have tried it and have found it very useful to increase our page rank on google. We are a tender information portal, http://www.tradereader.com. We used tenders as our anchor text. We suggest any site to try and increase the backlinks.
You are totally right I have even found page rank 1 backlinks from feedjit?!!!
