    Brett Gian ..its is a web feed which means that you can subscribe to that website giving you new information as it comes in. You can use programs downloaded from the internet to read an RSS subscription or use a web browser (such as firefox) to see the information...For instance say if you have a website and you want to show your DP profile in your website,, than you can simple copy and paste a small link in to your website and your profile would be shown there.....

    RSS is a way to syndicate (distribute) content from your site.

    An RSS feed usually contains all the latest content that has been added to your site. Often used on a blog it will contain the latest posts from your site with the most recent first.

    This RSS feed can then be used within RSS readers (e.g Feedburner, Google Reader) to allow people to follow the latest posts to a site.

    Why would anyone do this?
    Often people follow a lot of websites at once, rather than visiting each website, by using a feed reader and the RSS feeds from each site they can quickly see which site made a new post, and what that post is about.

    It is often used by webmasters, bloggers, and journalists to keep up with news and posts from a variety of sites.

    ----------

    In addition to this RSS has other uses - such as allowing your content to be automatically posted to other websites. There are tools out there to help you do this.

    RSS means Really Simple Syndication, not whatever you said.

    I think RSS can also help drive traffic to your site.

    It doesn't drive traffic to the site directly, but it can help, especially if the feed is being linked to from other sites, or even RSS directories. Sometimes bloggers will even share feeds to sites that they've "subscribed" to. But by itself, it's just a tool for syndicating your site's content to others so they don't have to go to your site to read what you have to say.

    It is convenient to the people who tend to have very little time for going to all the sites and reading. It even helps those who like the content of your site, but do not turn up every day to see whether you have updated or not.

    If your RSS is featured on some major site, a fair bit of traffic could come your way.

    If people like your blog then they subscribe to RSS and they can return back to your site through RSS feed. This is how you get return visitor.

    That's one way of getting return visitors. It's not the only way though. :)

    It can drive traffic directly if you would set the RSS feeds to redirect to site URL.

    There's no such thing as "RSS sites" (RSS is just syndicated metadata) and you don't want to submit your feeds to just any directory. In fact, I'd avoid directories for feeds altogether, but that's just me. What kind of site do you have anyway?

    I don't like RSS and always disable them altogether on my sites.
