Begin Your Publishing Empire
Begin Your Publishing Empire
If you create RSS feeds you can start a publishing empire – just look at the rss feeds coming from the big media companies like the New York Times and others. Every hour they have people in-putting more news items – news, politics, feature articles, gossip and entertainment news – you could put anything in your feed?
You can have many feeds for all sorts of topics, just think of the possibilities for driving endless traffic to various pages of your web site where readers can access more information or a salespage, click on an advert like Adsense or some other product to buy – or to give their email address to sign-up for an ecourse or your email newsletter.
The possibilities for instant publishing via RSS feeds is endless, never before has it been so easy to publish anything, it has always been in the hands of the media giants – but no more – they don’t have a monopoly on the internet. The media giants are now down to your level – you are equal to them on the internet – they may well have a large following but, you can also have a large enough following for the information you put out in your RSS feed given time.
Your RSS feeds do not have to be international in nature looking for a worldwide audience – they can be localized for your town or city with local news, local politics, entertainment, sport, news, local gossip, travel – monetizing your feed by writing an article for a local business, and driving traffic to that page, you can charge good advertising dollars, with local businesses lining up for an ‘item’ spot in your feed. How many businesses could you take advertising dollars off in a week? How many feeds can you put out in a week? The possibilities are explosive in nature – yet so many web site owners struggle to gain any money at all from their offerings online – it’s a hard slog! If only they would keep up with technology – just like the media giants do.
Web 2.0 technology is here – yet I hear “What’s that anyway?” from all over the forums and blogs from people who have not caught up with it to realize the possibilities – like putting images, photo’s and even slideshows and video in RSS feeds, together with different fonts – instead of plain boring ‘courier’ – together with colored text and colored backgrounds, making the feeds more attractive to the readers – after all, a picture paints a thousand words – and certainly helps to get readers interested in your offer. See my website for “RSS Traffic Attack” my new ebook explaining it all in great detail.
Web site owners can be too bogged down in routine by rote – doing the same things day-in and day out, they need to step back and look around them at other possible ways of promotion – RSS feeds are free promotion and do drive traffic endlessly.
The technology is here – just use it.
Get Better Google Rankings and Increase Web Traffic With RSS Syndication (Page 1 of 2)
So maybe you have heard about Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and seen the RSS symbol on websites?
Perhaps you have even used it to catch up on your daily news from your favorite websites. Great free resources like the Google Reader makes it a breeze to keep up with the latest happenings on topics of interest to you.
But there is another side to RSS I would like to discuss with you today, and that’s RSS syndication also known as RSS submission which is the process of using this technology to get better page rankings in the search engines and increase web traffic to your website.
I am going to suggest to you that this is a vital process for you to understand and start using as the vast majority of your competition (other web sites) are not leveraging this technology. So using feed submission is a great way to assist you in leapfrogging your competition.
But lets take a step back and understand how the process works. Firstly in order to use RSS like this, you need an RSS feed.
Think of an RSS feed as just a description of one or more pages on a website. It’s a standard format that can be read by literally millions of programs on the internet.
You see computers being what they are, they cannot understand a particular piece of information unless they understand the structure. Because RSS is a documented format, it means all these programs that use RSS can then understand how to read an RSS feed, and how to process the contents in the file.
Many websites have this technology built in. If you are running a wordpress blog you automatically have this technology built in to every post you make on the website.
And even if your using a static website without RSS feeds, you can invest in an inexpensive RSS script to product RSS feeds for your website.
As I mentioned previously RSS technology has mainly been used to retrieve information for a group of websites (news, new content, etc). It has not really been used to assist you in getting visitors to your website or ranking better in google.
But new exciting software is coming out to leverage the power of RSS to get the word out about your website.
Entire websites are developed and being developed as RSS Aggregators, in other words sites dedicated to receiving information about the content that is on other websites. And guess what? They use RSS technology as well.
Google, the premier search engine itself invested million purchasing a major RSS website called feedburner. Further they then added to their AdSense program a module for RSS Feeds. AdSense is the most widely used technology to put advertisements on websites that we know of today.
I am hoping your starting to see where I am going with this, if entire sites are setting themselves up to use RSS exclusively and Google themselves are heavily investing in RSS technology, then this is something that internet marketers should be looking at.
Google realize that RSS is all about tracking content changes, because anytime a website adds content to their website (if they are using RSS technology) then their RSS feed is updated automatically.
