    I basically wrote a script that build the feed once a day and saves it to the corresponding .xml text file.

    Then I just put the xml buttons up in each category so people who would like to use the feed can get the correct address.

    Go to this Category --> Advertising and click on the orange logo.

    That particular feed gives the last 5 submitted articles (updated daily)

    We are rolling out all categories plus random feeds

    Do many websites use your feeds? Have you seen a noticeable increase it links and/or traffic?

    We are still rolling them out so I don't have any stats. Seeing as how they are relevant and on just about every topic, I imagine they will be used in decent numbers.

    We will also hopefully be creating custom feeds for people depending on keywords. For instance, if someone wanted a random 5 articles each day on Fly Fishing, they could request that feed, post it and forget about it.

    Instant value added content for their site.

    I just put up a simple RSS feed (latest entries in database) and created a 'rss' button. seems to be working.
    Then I added a 'add this feed to my yahoo', and alread 40 people have added my feed to their MyYahoo.. (I didn't even know people were using that stuff)

    Since then Yahoo! is taking my site seriously :) spidering it more and more, and even giving back visitors.. but I cannot proof that that is due to the RSS feed.. but he, It can't hurt you.
