Reasons Why Having an RSS Feed Benefits Your Website
Marketing your website could be tough, especially if your niche is competitive. This means that it is hard to rank on Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Sure, you could always pay for traffic, but most people do not want to, and they would rather find a free, effective way of advertising their website. Let me introduce you to RSS. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
Targeted Traffic
Targeted traffic is very important. You want visitors that are interested in your sites niche, so they will stay, and see what you have to offer. A lot of 'social' websites allow you to post a link to your RSS feed. Make sure you always post a link to your RSS feed. If you have a blog, it is relatively easier to access your RSS feeds. A website that allows you to add your RSS feeds to your own page is Squidoo. I suggest making a page on Squidoo, about your product, or website, adding your RSS feeds, posting your latest blogs or posts from your website, and this should bring in some targeted traffic, especially if your lens, or page ranks high.
Free Advertising
There are many RSS directories that you can submit your RSS feeds to. A good list can be found at NewsNiche[dot]com. Try submitting your RSS Feeds to directories with a good Page Rank. This is also another way to bring in some targeted traffic.
Get Noticed
If you have written some unique, and good quality articles, make sure they are included in your RSS feed. After you submit your feed to various places you could get link backs, get noticed as a valuable site, and bring some more traffic in.
Related Content
Instead of just using your RSS Feeds, you can use other people's feeds too. A good way to bring in traffic and have some good content on your site is by getting RSS feeds from Digg that relate to your websites topic. It doesn't have to only be from digg, it can be from numerous sites that allow you to access their RSS feeds, and then put them on your website. You can find a lot of RSS Feeds that you can use at [http://chordata.info/]Chordata Directory.
