This is the Best Backlink Friday Ever!
No, really it is – because today I want to show you/reveal how I automatically bookmark my posts to a huge list of authority bookmarking sites, as well as syndicate my Multimedia content to a whole host of sharing sites, and all without doing anything other than hitting ‘Publish’…
For Real!
OK so I had to do a few things initially to get to that point, but that’s why I put this post together – to show you how so that you can be in a position to do the same 
So here goes…
It all starts with PixelPipe.
If you have never heard of Pixelpipe then, well you are where I was about 2 weeks ago actually – so whatever, let’s explore it further…
What is PixelPipe?
Pixelpipe is a content distribution gateway that allows users to publish text, photo, video and audio files once through Pixelpipe and have the content distributed across over 100 social networks, photo/video sites and blogs, and online storage around the globe.
Cool! So it’s like Ping.FM then?
Well yeah, kinda – but this is where it’s uber cool. Pixelpipe links to PingFM, so when you send your content to Pixelpipe – it ends up there as well!
You see PixelPipe is more than just social bookmarking. With Pixelpipe you can link to your Google account, your Blogger and Blog, your YouTube account, Plaxo, Facebook Pages, Google Buzz, Picasa, Photobucket … the list goes on (and on, and on, and on).
The reason this is so powerful then is because it not only Socially Bookmarks your Content, it also looks for what sort of media is contained in said content and syndicates it accordingly!!
OK so we know what PixelPipe is now. Moving on…
Posting Content and Creating Pipes.
There are two things that need to happen with PixelPipe, one of which raises a MAJOR ISSUE for me as a marketer with numerous niche sites. The other is just plain annoying. (relax – I have a solution for both)
Creating Pipes.
PixelPipe call their links to the various networks ‘Pipes’ and therefore, to have a pipe you need an account on the applicable network (Youtube, Google, Facebook etc).
Now if you were to create an account right now and attempt to setup Pipes, chances are the cache on your computer would tell Pixelpipe to connect to your own private accounts on all these networks. THAT is a problem.
Not only does creating Pipes take a stupid amount of time, it also tries to link to your existing accounts. This is fine when you are promoting your own blog/brand – but when you are promoting Warts and all (literally) then you really don’t want to be sharing THAT content with your blogging and business peers!
Solution?
Go to Fiverr.com and search for ‘Pixelpipe’.
I just spent the grand total of $5 and had a pixelpipe account setup, with over 40 new accounts on social networks and sharing sites (including a new Google account) all setup as Pipes already! Oh and I also got a PingFM account and ALL the social bookmarking accounts that go with it setup AND linked to Pixelpipe as well!
Now not only do I have brand new accounts on a whole host of high ranking authority sites, I also have them linked to a service that will automatically share my content to them all!
Posting Content
OK so we’ve now spent a total of $5 and have managed to automate the process of creating our Pixelpipe (and all associated) accounts. The next step is actually getting our content onto PixelPipe in the first place.
The process of uploading content simply involves going to the ‘Quick Post’ screen and adding your text and then uploading any media you have as well as tagging the post appropriately.
This process falls short for two main reasons:
- You Can’t add hyperlinks to the body of the text, therefore losing you the ability to syndicate backlinks as well, and
- The process is long winded and irritating. Even Copy/Paste doesn’t help lighten the burden of ‘yet another page of content creation’
Help is at Hand!
I am obviously not the first person to find this process irritating because one such ‘Cossack’ has already decided to do something about it.
The answer is PressPipes – a WordPress Plugin that links your WordPress Blog to your PixelPipe account!
How Does PressPipes Work?
Simple. You upload the plugin, edit the file to add the email address that PixelPipe give you (instructions included with Plugin) and hey presto – every single post that you publish from this point forward will be automatically sent to PixelPipe to be distributed to the world wide web!
OK that’s the Good News. Now How much is this going to cost me?
Good question – but the answer is even better. Incredibly, this plugin is ONLY $17! Call me crazy but that’s not very much at all, especially considering what it has the potential to do!
Seriously, I totes feel like going all Mastercard on you at this point, in fact I think I will
- Creating Accounts on over 50 Authority Sites – $5
- Creating the Ability to Link my Blog to Every single one of these sites - $17
- Automating the Process of Socially Bookmarking/Syndicating my content for as long as the blog is active – PRICELESS!
Action Plan.
This strategy is both effective and efficient, and for the total sum of $22 you can have one aspect of your link building automated completely.
Go to Fiverr and have a PixelPipe and pingFM account setup and then use these details with your Presspipes Plugin.
I would not recommend using the same PixelPipe account for more than say 2 sites (risk spamming and having accounts blocked – thus deeming your PixelPipe account useless) so if you have more than a few sites, simply go back to Fiverr and have a new PixelPipe account created.
Easy – effective – cheap. Just the way I like it
Google+ it
BlogEngage it
Pin it
Kube it

This almost sounds too good to be true! I’ve gotta give this a go…
tell me about it mate!
Imagine that!
I’m setting up accounts all over the shop as we speak – still have not added it to this blog though. Definitely going to – maybe with a few accounts
Alex my friend..you have stumble on a gold mine..
“Black Seo Guy “Signing Off”
Haha indeed Antonio
Well, almost… pixelpipe has made a few changes. For one, you need a twitter account to open a new pixelpipe account. No biggie.
Pixelpipe no longer links directly to ping.fm BUT you can email (yeah, email) through pixelpipe directly to your ping.fm account to create the same effect. Even BETTER (ok, sit down for this), you can email to your posterous and hellotxt accounts too!! How cool is that? WARNING: don’t attach the same social account to each of these because you WILL get multiple duplicate posts (one from each posting account).
The only bad news here is the the wso plugin is no longer available, so we need another solution there.
G’day Alex
I’ve been experimenting myself with various automated strategies backlink booster to work with ping fm and onlywire. I have read so many ways and methods I’m trying to find the easiest most automated strategy. If I think pixelpipe will do the job better than what Ive already got in mind I may well coem back to this one.
Pete
Is thsi only useable for post content or can it be used for page content too?
Good question!
I just tested it, and unforts – no sharing happened when I published a page. BOO
oh well, can’t win them all I guess
Alex
I’ve used pixel pipes for syndication of videos – and set pipes up in case my TubeMogul account ever gets suspended. But never done quite this level of syndication before!
Question for ya….do you use it for THIS site – or just for your niche sites?
Paul
Good question mate.
I only use this on my niche sites at present, but I do plan on creating an account specifically to be used on the BuildRankProfit Branded sites
Definitely 
great write up on hot to market your blog via rss Alex. To be honest I’m surprised you didn’t mention the blog engage rss service you have been using. Have you joined us over at affiliate lights our blog engage affiliate program yet? I think you could benefit from it huge! Many people under estimate the power of an rss feed. I however have not and managed to make a successful business from it!
Hey Brian,
To be honest, I didn’t really think about your service in the same light. I think adding that would make it too confusing.
Dont worry – I will be promoting your service and giving away that ‘spot’ I talked about soon enough. As for Aff lights, they can get stuffed – they want me to pay to be an affiliate, that’s just not on in my book.
I’ll still promote it for you – just without the affiliate love (more mullah for you LOL)
Thanks for stopping by man, good to see you again.
What do you mean? Affiliate Lights is a free website I started…
oh my bad man sorry
I got some email from the affiliate program saying it was going to cost me $30 to register or something? Must have been something else. Apologies for that mate – big time
Sounds good! I’m going to have to check this out as this is exactly what I’ve been looking to do. Thanks!
Pleasure Sally. Have a great weekend
Alex,
This is great information! Thank you for laying it all out so clearly, I can’t wait to give it a try!
Stacy
Pleasure Stacy, glad you see the benefits of such a setup
Alex, this sounds great, all I need now is the link to the exact Fiverr gig you used
Hahaha …. Ok fair enough then.
I’ll update post this evening. (it’s lunchtime Friday now)
Fiverr is a wonderful, wonderful thing, isn’t it?
I’ll have to give this a go. Sounds pretty darn useful.
Fiver is awesome! No wait, I’m broke cause of Fiverr!! Damn you Fivaaaaaaaaaaaa
LOL… yeah, Fiverr can be a bit addictive. I’ve had my fair share of purchases there.
Great article. I’m actually experimenting more lately with creating niche sites in reference to affiliate marketing. I think this will come in VERY handy!
Great stuff as always Alex. Good to know this site is always a goldmine of information.
You’re the best.
The worst thing (best thing?) about Fiverr is that ‘Damn Quick Pay’ system they have. Now I definitely spend too much there!!
Good to see you again “Michele with one L”
You always time your visit well, this post has some great tips for your niche sites. I would recommend one account per site to be honest, but at $5!?! who cares right!
I’ll see you soon. Think I owe the (not so) new biz blogger a visit
Ditto with Brankica, sounds like a solid plan… Can you share which fiverr provider you used?
BTW, do you recommend using the fiverr created accounts for all your sites (including this one, for example) or do you end up having two sets of social accounts (one for your actual, personal FB/Twitter/LinkedIn/etc. and the one created by the fiverr gig)?
Dave
I’m mobile atm, but I’ll link you guys up later
As for the accounts, I use one for every 2 sites I own and I will also create a unique one for this blog too
Thanks so much Alex
Dave
Nice tip or revelation. I have been using this syndication method for over 2months. I use a combination of hootsuite and pingfm alongside creation of other social networks.
Its simply RSS syndication – it might be another form of getting your pages or post indexed and gaining traffic. But i would say do not put your eggs in one basket.Getting free SE traffic is cool – i would encourage you to follow Alex strategy.
Thanks for the value add and kudos mate, glad to know it’s a method already proven to work
Wow Alex,
Never knew this service exist. Got to give it go and see how it works. Definitely a good way to use Fiverr fro $5
Definitely Bryan! Im amazed it took ME so long to find out about it.
Have fun with it
Really, five bucks to set all that up?
Gotta give it a try. Thanks for the info Alex, great post!
Awesome! I see you got the link to work. I knew it will be a good post! Thanks
Hi Alex,
Awesome sir! Cheers for the useful info and tips. Appreciated.
All the best
Andrew
Hi Alex, I heard about PixelPipe before and found a video tutorial for setting it up saved somewhere in my bookmarks….
I know that I’m already set up with Ping.fm because that’s how Pluggio posts to Facebook Page. My concern for my own use – is with what I call “oversharing”. That’s when someone shares the same content over and over again on each and everyone of their networks (especially Twitter)…but I can see how this would be perfect for niche sites like you’ve set up.
Thanks Alex!!
Thanks for that Alex, seems like I will be spending some time this afternoon setting that up for a few sites!!
Ive had a think about this and made a comparison with onlywire. There is some cross over but not too much so my strategy moving forward is to syndicate content automatically from my niche blog then use backlink booster, onlywire and another ping fm account to syndicate good links like articles and videos – that is hard core linking building!
Seeing as its you that made the post and I had never heard of pixelpipes before I will purchase this plugin through your link now.
Regards
Pete
I gotta agree with Ileane. Oversharing is a drag. Twitter does good for me and I don’t have time to handle so may account.s There is just so much stuff. Can’t we all just hang in one place ;D
This will save me a lot of time. I will consider this and think over this weekend. I would like to invest for a very useful tool. Its “Priceless”.
Hey Alex,
I saw this as a WSO the other day but your recommendation was enough for me to purchase and give it a go. I’m still not convinced about the plug-in itself, it is still buggy and I have major concerns about getting hit by Google for publishing duplicate content.
On the other hand, your recommendation of getting pixelpipe set up by someone on fiverr.com was the best $5 I have spent in a long time. By posting backlinks with images directly from within pixelpipe, especially for my older posts which the plugin wouldnt handle, to all those authority sites is amazing, and I don’t have to worry about duplicate content as the content to pixelpipe is different from the money site where the links will be pointed.
Pixel Pipe does link to a lot of web properties. But for me, it seems a little too cumbersome. You can also use Posterous to syndicate your content. I am just syndicating web copy and not video or images. I havent counted them, but I think that PixelPipe submits to more than Posterous does.
Alex, that sounds really good. Never heard about pixelpipe.com, thanks for posting.
Is pixelpipe.com free?
Yep
Sounds like a plan. And Fiverr can be addictive – that’s a warning
Seriously, it is indeed addictive.
Alex,
This post is timely. I have been working on setting up all of my OnlyWire accounts. It is sooo boring that the the Fiverr solution sounds more than good. Since this is on my list to have handled this month I will be check out Pixel Pipes and the plugin. Thanks
Hey Alex! I use Only Wire over at my Home Workouts site and it always seemed to do well for me. Nothing set up here yet, still cranking out content. Thanks for the great reminder to get this moving and another option to evaluate.
BTW, love the fiveer recommendation. I have spent far too much time in the past doing tasks like setting up social media accounts that make me $0. Lessons learned!
Hello Alex!
I really admire and appreciate your firm and well fabricated research on PixelPipe,actually i am totally new to this unfortunately,I am very much glad to know your on (and on and on and on) listing which PixelPipe do supports.How to create pipes,what are the problems we could face and what are there solutions,you have described each and every thing so well,now that’s what i call a complete knowledge given on any issue under one roof.Thank you for telling us about an action plan and Fiverr.com.That was a complete help.I’m gonna install this PixelPipe now and let me see what magical differences it can make,and if i face any problem then I’ll ask you about that.Thank you for sharing such a great,valuable and informative content with us.
GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!
Thanks mate – I really appreciate your feedback.
You have to be the nicest outdoor kitchen equipment I have ever come across
Wow . trying out right away. Thanks for the great plan.
I used the service in Wordpress to automatically submit your new posts to facebook and twitter but I didn’t know about this, and for 5 dollars I’m going to buy some gig about PixelPipe
Wow that is pretty cool. That also is not a bad price to get everything started.
Wow, this is indeed astonishing.. I have to test and try it myself.. Thanks mate for this article
WOW, this info sure looks like it’s well worth following and giving it a go. I’ve just been spending hours setting up bookmarking accounts at socialadr and was looking for more ways to automate my backlinking/bookmarking. Time to get to work!
We can not live without doing any action (physical, mental or speech). Even non-doing is an action. So it’s better we be productive and meaningful to others, i.e. World, country, society and family.

pixelpipe is very cool service! And thanks for sharing your solution to syndicate content. Thx!
I tend to use Google Images to find pictures. THere is no copyright issue with pictures obtained here and really it is up to you if you want to credit the original source or not (Keep in mind though that when you find images with Google, the image has probably already been copied a hundred times so the ‘original source’ is probably long lost.
Really it all comes down to common sense.
If you want to make sure noone takes the images from you then simply remove the active link to the image so they are forced to copy the smaller version from your page if they really want it.
Its actually good for SEO to make all your images both available and optimised.
Alex,
That’s VERY wrong to assume that “there’s no copyright issue obtained here”… Very wrong as practically ALL images are copyrighted unless explicitly mentioned that it’s allowed to be reused or under creative commons license.
Under certain SPECIFIC attribution CC license, you can use the image as long as it’s credited to the source, but any images will “all rights reserved” are copyrighted and unless you get EXPLICIT permission, you’re infringing on copyright.
I’m a big fan of your site, but that comment is way incorrect.
