RSS Feeds

By Kathy Jenkins

Most Internet marketers don’t realize the benefits of using RSS feeds as a form of promotion. Using RSS feeds can be a great way for you to get more advertising and marketing for your websites and so increasing your income. In this article I will explain how and why you should be using RSS feeds and some of the benefits that are associated with using those feeds.

Make sure that people who visit your blog are able to subscribe to your feed because it is a lot easier to get individuals to sign up for your feed than to sign up to your email list. The reason is because you can subscribe to an RSS feed with a click of a button. It is not necessary to give out your email address.

An RSS feed allows you to syndicate your content as soon as it is added to your website. The benefit of this is that you can automatically get individuals to come back to your site to look into the new content. You should realize that the more times you get someone back to your site the better chance you have of getting these individuals to buy your product.

Of course you will also have the option of using the feed to promote your product directly to your subscribers. The way this is done is by simply adding content to your site promoting your product. This will also automatically syndicate your sales letter in to your feed. However, make sure your content is also useful and informative otherwise you will lose most of your RSS feed subscribers as quickly as you gain them.

Another benefit of having people subscribe to your RSS feed is that they will always get the emails telling them about new content. If you were to just have an email list you must have realized that some of your emails won’t get delivered as it is flagged as spam. However, when people subscribe to your feed they will receive the emails from the RSS syndication service every time.

Maintaining your RSS feed is not an issue as nothing needs to be done to keep it maintained. Once the RSS feed is set up on your website you will find that you never have to worry about it again. When you add content to your site the RSS feed is automatically updated with the new content and you don’t have to do anything.

One more benefit of using RSS feeds is that you can build backlinks to your site simply by submitting your feed to RSS aggregator sites. The feed is automatically updated every time you post new content and a new link will be pointing from the aggregators to your new page.

You can find other ways that RSS feeds can help your online business, but we have just covered a few of them here. So if you are not yet using RSS feeds this would be a good time to start. The best free service is Feedburner, which is now owned by Google.

Blog RSS feeds and content syndication have grown to become very useful sources of the latest news headlines and information that can be defined and selected by the reader. RSS, short for Really Simple Syndication, is syndicated content associated with newspapers, blogs, video and audio websites.

Aggregators collect together the RSS syndication updates, and then display to the end user the headlines and latest additional content, as per the end user’s settings. This list of headlines gives users a clear indication of what is current in the subject area that the user specifies. If there are headlines the user wants to read more about, they can open the link from within the aggregator, and the reader will be redirected to the web page containing the full story in question. That’s why RSS feeds have proven more than their weight in gold in terms of attracting targeted traffic to business websites and blogs.

Readers Also Benefit From RSS Feeds

Outside of the business realm, consumers can also benefit from RSS. In a situation such as a company updating its target market with trends and latest information, users can find it very time-consuming to have to visit the website every day to get their update. Adding additional feeds to your personal aggregator is a simple process, which many news sources have cottoned on to, by providing direct feed URLs which can be added to your RSS feed so that you will receive all the latest updates from that particular site.

Having such flexibility in updates can make for quite the valuable asset in a business context.

By offering a direct feed URL, more people will be able to consistently view updates on blogs or news stories that you publish on your website. This will help attract more web traffic to your website and keeps customers current with major developments in your business or marketing niche.

Generally, a lot of companies maintain blogs and frequently update news stories on their focus. This helps more people become attracted to following the RSS of that company and also encourages them to interact directly with the company.

I suggest that you diversify your news and blog post content, taking the focus away from just being about your company, so that you can reach out to more potential subscribers for your blog RSS feeds.

Google News RSS feed is one of the most famous RSS syndication services on the Internet, but there are many others. RSS feeds and content syndication have grown to become very useful sources of the latest news headlines and information in broad or highly targeted niche topic areas according to your preference.

What is an RSS Feed?

Also known as Really Simple Syndication, RSS feeds gather syndicated content from a wide range of external sources, such as video/audio websites, blogs and even conventional newspapers. Aggregators collect together the RSS syndication updates, and then display to the end user exactly what the headlines and latest additional content are, as per the end user’s settings.

From this preview, a person can receive the latest information concerning whatever subject matter is important to them, such as industry news or current events. It is easy for the user to open the specific news stories they want – simply clicking on the headlines from within the RSS aggregator will launch that news story and the website it was originally posted on, for the user to peruse. RSS feeds are an excellent way for anyone to find the latest industry news stories pertinent to their work.

Outside of the business realm, consumers can also benefit from RSS. When a company has a blog that keeps consumers up to date on the latest company information and general industry trends, it might be hard for users to frequently visit the website every day for an update.

Use RSS Aggregators to view all your RSS feeds in one place

Adding additional feeds to your personal aggregator is a simple process, which many news sources have cottoned onto, providing direct feed URLs that can be added to your RSS feed. In a business context, this is a vital resource to have, providing updates that are relevant to business operation.

By doing this, more people will be able to consistently view updates on blogs or news stories for a website. Visitors to websites know they are getting straight to the headlines they want, making RSS feeds another attractive prospect for getting traffic to a site.

Offer Websites Visitors the Option of Subscribing to your RSS Feeds

Often, many companies will write blogs or news stories concerning their general niches. This helps more people become attracted to following the RSS of that company and even interact with the company. Companies need to diversify their news and blog post content, taking the focus away from just being about the company, to increase the chances of more subscribing to the RSS feeds.

Many websites offer just one RSS feed, but it makes sense to splice and dice your articles into a series of highly targeted categories and offer multiple RSS feeds, one for each topic category.
