5 Reasons Why Your Site Needs
|
It seems like everyone
talking about RSS Feeds. They've been around
years but
buzz
up about them
technology continues
go mainstream. Some people are reportedly abandoning their browsers
viewing
web through their readers - but they hardly represent
general public yet.
So does your site need one?
This question
somewhat like asking if your site needs a newsletter. Sure,
sky won't fall tomorrow if you don't get one today, but once you realize
benefits
having a news feed
your site,
try
yourself, you may become an addict like
rest
us.
Reason #1: More free traffic
your site
I'm not exaggerating when I say
a frequently updated feed can bring you massive amounts
traffic
a short time period. This won't be true forever.
Here's a snapshot
PDF format,
just
feed-originating traffic
a new page
my site
first 24 hours
opened.

Not exactly a stampede, but here's
good part.
On
fourth day,
feed traffic doubled,
all other traffic continued
rise at
same rate.
That's my fifth active feed
twenty I have spread out over four sites,
I get similar results each time. In thirty days,
would be at least 5,000 new targeted visitors - again, this
not counting my present traffic, or those who try my feed
stay subscribed, nor does
factor
what happens when
traffic doubles again..
I can't promise you
exact same results, no one can. But you should know
my feed
targeted towards a crowed market - if you know how
set up your feed properly
correctly apply your keyword research, you could have better results..
Those visitors, from
first hour
traffic
today, resulted just from submitting my feed
list
directories I compiled from many sources
studied. Some bring great free traffic
new feeds, some are better
once your feed has matured.
You can often get better placement
feed directories
Yahoo's RSS Directory than you could from your results
a regular search engine,
often, inclusion
instant.
Reason #2: It's a hands-off way
update your audience
What if you could run your newsletter without
hassles
maintaining your list, removing bounced addresses, finding new subscribers, formatting
content you find, altering your content
keep from being blacklisted,
after all that, wondering if all
various blockers mistakenly kept your message from getting through?
If
sounds like heaven, you can be one
angels
soon
an hour from now.
When you supplement your current newsletter with more frequent updates via feed, you will be able
push out updates
subscribers
your news channel or feed more frequently
more efficiently.
With all
new free tools available, even if you're all thumbs when
comes
making a web page, if you can fill out a form, you can create a feed.
Reason #3: Get visitors
click through
your site whenever you update
If you haven't used a feed reader before, you might be confused about
connection between
feed
your site
why
can result
an increase
traffic. I'll attempt
explain this
you
words, but I suggest downloading a news aggregator (also known
a feed reader),
looking at
results
your favorite site's feed through a reader after you read this
full effect..
You can use my main feed here if you don't have one
view:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/FreeTrafficTips
If you don't want
have another application up while you're surfing, you can try Pluck , a free application you can use
more than just feeds that integrates with Internet Explorer - get
at http://freetrafficdirectory.com/pluck -
will take you right
downloads page.
You can also do this from My Yahoo!, by changing your page
include their RSS Headlines console, still
Beta testing at http://my.yahoo.com.
To summarize, a visitor sees
headlines they want
read, view
summary,
click through
your site
read
rest
news, either
a new window, or without having
leave
application they are in.
And when you update again,
reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate
list
items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back.
If you had trouble following that, come

Reason #4: Recycle old content.
If you have a list
your older articles, some older product reviews, site suggestions, or archived newsletters, you can use those
build content
populate your feed with information. As long
this news
still relevant, you can recycle this content
attract new visitors
Reason #5: Its so easy it's crazy not
do it.
Before
last few months, there weren't
many free tools online that made
process
starting
publicizing a feed so effective
user-friendly.
The bottom line is, now that you can get all those benefits from filling out a form, saving
file, uploading
your server, promoting
once,
updating
from time
time, it's insane not
do so.
You already have
update your site from time
time. You might
well get all
benefits
having a news feed too.
