Use of RSS - 3 Useful Reasons

Hello friends...I have found useful info on rss and want to share it with you.

1. RSS Allows the Use of Embedded Audio and Video:

Let's say that you're an internet marketer who wants to send an email to established clients. You envision this email containing a YouTube-like preview that the client can click on to see your expertly-crafted video. But guess what? You can't do that with email. The best you can hope for is to include a preview image that opens up a web browser to play the video when the client clicks on it.

You may wonder why that's so bad, but just think of how much easier it would be to view the video right there in the email without being bounced around. And then remember that RSS easily and conveniently allows for embedded video and audio.

2. RSS Guarantees 100% Deliverability

If you're an internet marketer, listen up. Even if you legitimately obtain the email address of a potential client or an established client, there is only a 60% chance that they will receive an email that you send to them. That means that if you have a list of 100 emails that you've worked hard to obtain, 40 of those customers won't ever get the email. What a waste!

But RSS is different. If someone has subscribed to your RSS feed, you are guaranteed that they will receive every single message.

And the advantages aren't limited to internet marketers! Customers also win with RSS. No more whitelisting senders, and no more signing up for email lists only to find a spam box filled with old email. Once users realize how convenient and efficient RSS really is, RSS will grow by leaps and bounds.

3. RSS Means NO SPAM!

Industry analysts and internet marketers are acutely aware of the possibility that email may not be free forever, particularly for large corporations that send out significant numbers of emails. Why? The answer is spam. It's time-consuming to delete, it often contains inappropriate messages, and large corporations are often burned by it. Before you dismiss the idea that email may no longer be free, know that some email providers are already researching ways to make email like cell phones that impose a sending quota.

 

thanks for this info

 

Good information thanks for sharing

 

Turning this on it's head, my personal thoughts purely for the purposes discussion...

1. RSS Allows the Use of Embedded Audio and Video:
Not all access points for RSS (i.e. RSS readers and particularly syndicators) can handle embedded/rich media content.

2. RSS Guarantees 100% Deliverability
The end user is more likely to skip past an individual RSS item due to information overload. Users tend to subscribe to too many RSS feeds and therefore end up not reading them efficiently.

3. RSS Means NO SPAM!
RSS means no pushing of the message to the person you want reading it. Control is with the end user, you have little or no influence over it and as a marketer, there's no easy way to monitor individuals who subscribe/unsubscribe like you can with email. RSS readers are anonymous.

 

A simple explanation oh what the thread starter's want to point out! Nice post, guys!

 

good information!

 

thanks for this info

 

thanks for sharing.

 

good information sharing.

 

Good information regarding the use of RSS feeds. I came to know some very good points. Thanks for sharing the info.

 

Also, RSS allows submission to other pages and allows others to embed your site on their page

Be careful though. Some site rely heavily on google ads for profit. Some readers on your website will access all their news via RSS readers (like vienna for the Mac) and may miss out on the adverts

 

Hi Friend,

This is some of the useful information about RSS. Thanks for the good information sharing.

 

hey thats a relief, thanks for sharing the information

 

Although these are good points, RSS isn't necessarily a good replacement for an email newsletter.

For instance, a newsletter I used to subscribe to is being replaced by RSS, and the result is that a regular source of useful information is being replaced by something that I won't bother to check more than once a quarter, if that, for exactly Mupha's second point. In spite of spam, email probably still trumps RSS in terms of uptake and usefulness. Do both if you can.

 

thx m8. Great info.
