OK let me just give you a little overview on what an RSS Feed is. RSS or Really Simple Syndication (Some people referrer the term to Rich Site Summary) is a means for blogs to broadcast their content to various different services and individuals easily. So people can pick there favorite content that they read on a daily bases and have it all in one place to read for their pleasure.
So an RRS Feed collects content of your posts, and then syndicate the content to various services. Bloggers often submit their RSS feeds to popular blog directories, RSS directories and search engines. Users can then find the feeds in which they are interested in and “subscribe to them,” reading them with an RSS feed reader. They may also simply read your feed and then hop on over to your site. its that simple. (They keep you updated instead of you keeping updated on new content with them)
Another aspect of having a RSS Feed on your blog is they are a great way of promoting your blog. It’s a great way of RSS feeds to boost the results of your blog in the search engine rankings. They are also a wonderful way of getting noticed by at least one of the major search engines, to gain more traffic.
So now that you know what an RRS Feed is, start Creating RSS Feed for your blog.
Your blogging software such as Word-Press and blogger, will probably handle the process of creating an RSS feed for your blog automatically. For instance, those blogging at Blogger.com are automatically “given” an RSS feed (in Atom format) that they can burn and use. Other blogging services provide RSS feeds, as well.
If your blog service provider or software doesn’t automatically create an RSS feed for your blog, in most cases they will. but if they don’t you can build one yourself. Those experienced with HTML may want to hand-code their RSS feed. Those of us who prefer a quicker solution can choose from a variety of software tools (many of which are free in Google) to accomplish Creating RSS Feeds.
A great place to manage your RSS feed needs is at Feed burner, which can be found at www.feedburner.com. This free service provides you with a number of tools that can make sharing your RSS feed easier and more effective for your blog. It also offers free circulation traffic (just in case you want to know how many people are tracking your feed) and a lot of handy ways to help other subscribe to your feed.
So having a RSS Feed on your blog, is a great way to gain traffic, and get people interested in content & services. After you have a RSS Feed don’t forget to update! Make sure you remember to either ping using a mass-ping service or to manually alert RSS aggregators about your feed every time you update. Otherwise, you are losing some of the potential value of the feed. Submit to technorati because you have a more chance of gaining more traffic through your blog. www.technorati.com/ping
And Make your RSS Feed a moneymaker! Some blogger who are particularly interested in making their blog pay may want to consider using their RSS feed as a vehicle for advertising. Google’s AdSense program has a program to allow some AdSense publishers place ads in their feeds and other means of feed advertising for more traffic.
So having a RSS Feed on your blog, can gain more traffic and attract people to your content.
