IFTTT Recipes
Below are suggested IFTTT recipes for your various Ring of
Fire accounts. In most cases you probably only want
to use one recipes per site/account. However, there may be
some cases where you want to use more than one recipe.
Many of the recipes have a variety of "ingredients" you
can modify and customize. For example, when using an IFTTT
recipe to automatically post a Youtube video a Wordpress
blog, you can choose to include (or not) any of the
following: The video title, description, Youtube URL, etc.
Each of these is an ingredient.
The specific ingredients for Youtube recipes will vary.
For example, you can embed Youtube videos directly in some
sites, but not others. For these sites you will want to
just use a link back to the video on Youtube.
Another example is a site like Twitter which limits the
amount of text it will accept. So, for Twitter you
probably don't want to use the full Youtube video
description as it could be over the Twitter limit for
text.
Most of the recipes included here will have good
ingredients for each resource, but you want to adjust the
ingredients from time to time.
Be sure to sign into your IFTTT account first.
Very Important: Be
sure to turn off the IFTTT link shortener before
creating any recipes.
- Click the "Down Arrow" next to your user name.
- Select "Preferences" from the drop down
- Click the "Settings" tab
- Scroll down to the URL shortening section
- Make sure "Auto shorten URLs" is UNCHECKED.
Tip: Use the Snap Links Firefox plugin discussed on the Preparation page to open
multiple recipe pages at the same time. Check to see which
recipe (and ingredients) are best for your situation and
preferences.
Quick Start for Recommended Recipes (see more below).
After signing in to IFTTT and creating the accounts,
use Snap Links to open the recipes in multiple tabs at the
same time.

Google Plus via Buffer - IFTTT doesn't post directly to
Google Plus. But you can set up IFTTT to post to
Buffer.com, then have buffer post to Google Plus. I
can't recommend a recipe for this because I use MassPlanner
to post to Google Plus using the YT channel RSS feed.

For Facebook and LinkedIn you need to be
careful about what you post and where.
FaceBook - Use Caution!
I suggest that you only post to FB fan pages you create
or FB groups you create. Make sure to make the groups
public so they can be indexed by the search engines.
Also note, I use MassPlanner to post to fan pages and
groups, and only those I create myself. The reason is,
IFTTT doesn't post to groups. Also, if you create
multiple IFTTT accounts you may not be able to log into
the same FB account to post on various fan pages.
None of the recipes below are recommendations, since I
don't use IFTTT for FB. I included them for your
convenience.

yt-to-fb-page
LinkedIn - Use Caution!
LinkedIn is a network of professional business
people doing business. It's almost alwaysy best to
use groups or a company page for your videos unless
your videos are business related.
Also, I use
Massplanner to post to LinkedIn, so I haven't used
either of these recipes:
upload-a-youtube-video-then-post-to-linkedin
youtube-to-linkedin
Secondary/Optional
You don't need to use all of the resources below.
Instead, just use a couple of different ones as you
build more and more ROF networks so that all of your
networks aren't identical.

Linking Strategies for Recipes
Sometimes IFTTT doesn't offer access to a certain asset
you may want to use. Posting to Google Plus is one
example. However, there are often work-arounds. For
example, if you have a Buffer account you can use Buffer
to post from your Wordpress blog to Google Plus.
Basically, when you upload a video to Youtube, you can
have a recipe to have your Youtube video posted on your
Wordpress blog. Then you set up a second recipe to post
your new WP blog posts to Buffer, then have Buffer post it
to Google Plus.
Here's a recipe:
https://ifttt.com/recipes/130409-wordpress-to-google-plus-page-via-buffer
Note: For posting to Google Plus, I prefer MassPlanner.
It can read your Youtube channel's RSS feed and use that
to post directly to Google Plus. Or, you can use your WP
blog's RSS feed and have MassPlanner
use it.
Another possibility is to post to your Wordpress blog and
use WP plugins to post to other sites.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/plurk
Here's another example: LiveJournal is a powerful Web 2.0
site. However, IFTTT doesn't have a recipe to post
https://ifttt.com/recipes/search?q=livejournal
However, by being creative you can really expand the
possibilities using IFTTT along with other resources.
Inter-Linking Strategies Using IFTTT
Some resources that are compatible with IFTTT allow you to
add basic HTML. This makes it possible to add links to
other resources. You can also create some basic link
wheels using IFTTT. For example, instead of using Youtube
as the trigger for all of your IFTTT recipes, you can do
something like this:
YouTube => Blogger
Then Blogger => Wordpress
For more info, check out my friend Tony Hayes' video about
using IFTTT to create link wheels:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D95Z4TnNl7g
Of the 3 strategies outlined below, I generally recommend
using the No Wheel Strategy almost all of the time. As you
build a few ROF networks mix in the Broken Hub once in a
while.
The Full Link Wheel probably passes the most link juice
and authority. However, it's also has the most risk and is
most likely to get devalued by Google.
No Wheel Strategy
Tier 2 sites are your social and Web 2.0 accounts.
Note that the Tier 2s (other ROF accounts) don't link to
each other.
No Wheel Strategy
Broken Spoke Link Wheel Strategy
Note the purple arrows. Using this strategy only
about half of the Tier 2s link to another Tier 2,
which also means only about half of the Tier 2s get
links directly from another Tier 2.
Also note that my use of the word "half" isn't an
exact figure. You can use 75% or 20% or any other
number, it's up to you. It's the strategy, not the
precise number that is the point here.
Broken Spoke Link Wheel Strategy
Which one should you use? When in
doubt, use them all. Start with the No Wheel for your
first Ring Of Fire for a given Youtube channel.
If you don't have success, then create another IFTTT
Ring Of Fire, using all new accounts and the Broken
Spoke strategy. Then add a Full Link Wheel using
another completely new Ring Of Fire.
Full Link Wheel Strategy
Notice the green arrows and how each Tier 2 links
to another Tier 2 and is also linked to by another
Tier 2. This is probably the most effective linking
strategy from an SEO perspective, and it's also the
riskiest.
