    Hi all,

    I was wondering, what are your thoughts on the best ways to get RSS/feed subscribers to a site? I run a humor site (Say No to Crack), and each day pick up a few extra subscribers (I have ~150 after 3 months), but I'm wondering if folks have suggestions for increasing this.

    Let me know if this is in the wrong place ...

    Thanks!
    Anita

    This could probably be in marketing, but oh well. You could try displaying a RSS icon more prominenty on your blog, perhaps have it line up with the bottom of your site's logo.

    gr8liverpoolfan - what's a feed exchange? I'm a complete noob. Are there sites for feed exchanges?

    Well said by gr8liverpoolfan, original and useful content. i would like to add, that initially you may need to use sites like www. digg . com (remove spaces) to get faster indexing and better traffic

    Place a big rss icon on your site.

    tell you friends to subscribe, if they like what you write they will spread around to more, you need not do anything if your articles are the best,
    just focus on writing quality and unique content
