Why offer RSS feeds on your site/blog?
by SaveTimeDid you know that you can use RSS feeds to add your blog content to other sites? You can offer it for others to add to their sites (for example, look in the meta data section the right of this post - clicking on ‘entries RSS’ will set up the RSS feed for you) or add it to another site manually.
But why would you add your blog content to another site?
- gets your content in front of more people so it spreads your message further
- it links to your blog so it can increase your traffic and site rankings
- it builds your credibility as an expert in your topic
- it is a form of free promotion to your blog (and business if applicable)
- may be picked up by different sites which may not have found your actual blog post
- it helps build the community aspect of blogging and communicating with people
An RSS feed can only occur if you allow it and it is still seen under your name - it isn’t like someone blatnatly copying your content for their own pursposes. And of course, teh copyright remains with you as the creator of teh content.
So keep an eye out for opportunities to share your blog content through an RSS feed…
