How effective is RSS feeds submission, links from Blog Directories?
-
I am wondering how effective rss feed submission (to RSS aggregators) is in terms of getting traffic and backlinks?
Also, how about getting listed in blog directories?
Do these tactics work anymore post Panda update ?
Thanks,
Supriya.

Moz is no longer maintaining the directory project, but it will be relaunched by a third party in the near future. We'll update that post when it's relaunched.

Looks like there's something wrong with the link. Is this project still going on?

TopRank has maintained this list for a while: http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/

Thanks Keri!

Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded our Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory update and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices. While this is about directories in general and not just blog directories, I thought it'd help.

Thanks Daniel!
Is there any resource that provides a list of good aggregators and blog directories?
-
These techniques work just fine. Panda may have hurt the quality of these aggregators and directories, but they still pass link juice. I would probably not pay for it, but there are a lot of free ones, and if you have a blog you might as well submit to them as it is quick and easy.

How to Push Free Offer for Links, Likes and Shares.
I have been working with a UK based printing company for a while now. We have had some good success, ranking well for most of our target phrases. One thing we do is to offer select Graphic Designers and Illustrators free business cards. Last year we approached a load of Designers and Illustrators (sourced via followerwonk) and printed cards for them, but we have run out of suitable candidates. One particular problem is that if the designers don’t need cards at that moment in time, the offer is forgotten about. Any Ideas how we can give the offer a lift? Let me know your thoughts. Justin

Will a blog at mydomain.com/v/blog help SEO?
Volusion doesn't allow messing with the main directory so I could only put a page at /v/blog. They do allow you to set up a 301 redirect so I had set up a 301 redirect from www.mydomain.com/blog to www.mydomain.com/v/blog. Is it worth starting a blog like this for SEO? Thanks
