Sliced Wikizine

I recently tried embedding TALKI into my Joomla site.  TALKI is a forum you can embed with a short and simple line of code.  You can embed your own empty forum or use an example forum that is already filled with a number of posts.  I chose the latter option; it makes it look like people actually visit your site!  TALKI is a web 2.0 application in as much as: it allows you to sign in with Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Open ID etc.  Your avatar is automatically imported, but that seems about it.  Apart from that, apart from the Wordpress plugin that is offered,  it's pretty much a straightforward forum.  If you want to go for the paid options more features are available, but If you have a website with PHP you are much better off installing a forum like SMF or PHPbb.  With a self installed application, you obviously have complete control over content, user management, attachments, add on extensions etc.; the whole shebang and completely free.

TALKI is a new startup and the developers are upgrading the system and fixing bugs.  Many users on the TALKI forum have suggested improvements to the system.  There is a section on the site that allows you to vote for particular improvements: http://talki.uservoice.com/forums/42301-general It is here that I noticed a number of users asking if there was a way to embed TALKI into Joomla.  I worked out a simple way of doing this when I messed around with the program; I posted the solution to the customer feedback forum.  To my great surprise, I found that my post had been deleted the next day.  I checked my original post on the embedded TALKI forum and some of my posts there had also been deleted! (I think I mentioned one of their links wasn't working).  No, I did not engage in any foul language, flaming or bad netiquette of any kind.  This is of course the main drawback with a forum like this.  Not only do you have no control over the style and formatting, you have no control of the content.

Since TALKI's admin has removed my instructions on how to embed it into Joomla; I will share them again here:

Are you building contextual one way back links with your RSS Feed? If you are webmaster and you are already using RSS Feeds to help promote your website, you still may be missing out on one of the most powerful RSS Tips out there. Many people are glad to see the title to their post show up as a link on different sites that display and aggregate various RSS Feeds and this is a nice bonus of RSS and atom site feeds alike. However, there is another way you can be getting a lot more out of every new post you make to you site and get more link juice for absolutely free.

The information I am going to share with you here is usually hidden away in some $100.00 program or is something that you may find a application for sale that will do for you. Instead of trying to separate you and your money, I plan on showing you how easy it is to automatically build back links using your existing RSS Feed. This simple, yet effective RSS tip has changed the way many people think about link building and how they market each and every website they own.
