Hi Warner,

The goal is, to the extent possible, to keep visitors (and spiders) within your own network of sites. Instead of adding RSS from places like Yahoo, etc., you add your own RSS from your own sites to your own sites (including Squidoo, etc).

So, visitors hitting your site will hopefully click to your money site(s) from your main content, but if not, they may very well click to another one of your sites through one of your RSS links, and there they'll have another chance to go to your money site(s).

Jeff

p.s. - Depending on the site where they're placed (Squidoo, etc), those RSS links may well count as inbound links to your other sites too.
