hi plrinfo4u, RSS feeds can bring good amount of traffic, you just have to do it right. First of all your RSS feed should contain a unique update of content on your website which will motivate your connected readers or subscribers to read it. After you have created your RSS feed you can submit it to different RSS directories. If you want to increase the number of your subscribers you have to make it easy for them to subscribe, don't hide your RSS subscription button in a corner, make it look clear and bold. Moreover if you want your readers to come back to your website again and again, you have to engage them in useful discussion, encourage them to leave comments.Â
Submit the RSS feeds to a number of sites that accept these feeds, it is best for sites that have regularly updated content like blogs. These new content are a drive for search engines.
Try feedage all you have to do once you have created an account is post your rss feed and when ever you update the blog it updates the other directories on auto pilot. http://www.feedage.com/
First you should make your RSS feed with the help of unique and latest content. After that you can submit it in different RSS directories in the form of title, description, keyword as well as RSS link. It will give give update to people through news, blogs etc and also gain your traffic thoroughly.
Very important step, register your RSS feed with feedbunner. Feedbuner will sync those Atom and RSS2.0 format to a more compatible and nicely display format, instead of showing ugly xml format. Next, you integrate your RSS feed to RSS directories, e.g feedage. Dont forget your DP account, it also ready with RSS feed. When your feed expose to more places, more reader will reach your feed, and it result great traffic.
All have given nice tips. I am wondering which are RSS directories and which one are in the top? Can anyone help please?
Hi Sagart, you can try this http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/. some of the RSS directories is free, some of it require charge and link exchange. I use alexa rank to justified the top RSS directory, logically high traffic website should have high response and click rate.
Being in the music industry I've found that a lot of the social networking websites for bands now have the ability to integrate an RSS feed into the profile page. When fans see that page they also see the latest RSS updates (in most cases the band blog or latest news) and when they click to read the full article it takes them directly to the main band website where they have the option to subscribe, comment, etc. Interaction seems to be the key to getting people coming back.
