What Is The Value Of Using RSS Feed On Your Site

New technology should be used when it comes to your online business. RSS (really simple syndication) feed is a great new technology to keep your website visitors aware of any changes on your website (including yourself, if need be). 

An RSS feed allows you to publicly announce changes to people who are interested in your website or blog.  It also allows your visitors convenience in how they read your site content. 

RSS syndicates your website and syndication is not a bad thing to have working in your favor.

With an RSS feed your visitors will be informed of new content which they can view on their own time with an RSS reader.  Don’t worry.  Your visitors will still return to your site.  But for news, product information, special offers, and text information from your site, RSS supplies the information directly to your visitors who are interested in your site.  In fact, RSS feeds actually increase traffic to your website.  Use of partial feeds is a great way to inform your visitors of updated information, but still require them to go to your site to view the update in its entirety.

Some people will only connect to sites that offer an RSS feed.  If you do not offer RSS, then you will reduce traffic to your site.  Figure out how RSS works, because RSS feeds serve to increase traffic making your site a more effective selling tool with little effort on your part.  

RSS feeds are easy to use and are not difficult to set up.  Most of web development and blogging platforms offer the option of RSS feeds.  You can join the many Internet business today and enjoy the benefits of increased traffic and more visibility on the web for your business by adding an RSS feed to your website or blog today.  Do not underestimate the value of an RSS feed for your site.

Get The Attention of Yahoo

Search_organic_blog

Getting a site indexed by Yahoo can be somewhat of a challenge.   There is a way to get the attention of the indexing robot for Yahoo and as a result your site can get some attention also.

You will need to do two things to provide constant updates to get indexed by Yahoo.  First you will need to provide updates directly to the web site.  Secondly you will need to use Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds.

The Blog.  If you do not already have a blog for your web site, you will need to start one.  The blog can be on your web site or you can use one of the free blogging services available.  It does not matter so much which service you use; just get a blog started.   You will need to make blog posts that relate to content on your website and place links to your website content on your blog.

I would highly suggest that, if you do not blog directly on your website, no matter what blog platform you use, make it part of your website by creating it as a subdomain of your website.  This is the most powerful connection you can create.

RSS Feed. Once the blog posts are in place, you will need to set up RSS feed.  There are free RSS feed services available, saving you considerable time rather than using a system of your own.  You will want to look around and get a system that seems easy to use.

Linking a HTML site map from your web site to your blog will get the attention of the robot for Yahoo and result in indexing your pages.  Even if you have an XML site map, you will need to set up and HTML site map for Yahoo purposes.

You will need a Yahoo email account to place an RSS feed to link provided by your blog provider.  Use the link, not the URL for your blog.  The feed will show at the end of the page.  Yahoo can take a few hours or even a day or so for new posts to be added.

Yahoo will index your website pages by following the blog links to your site pages.   The same can be done with Google.

Get the Yahoo robot working for you by adding each new page of content on your website as a link from your blog.   

Useful Information.  I have to say that you will not regret checking out our Wisdom Book.
