Promotion Guide for RSS Feeds


By using this guide, you will be able to promote your RSS feeds in the best way possible to bring more targeted traffic.

RSS Directories

Submitting your feeds to RSS directories will give you links to your website as well as allow internet users to find you under their favorite categories. The more links you have to your feed, the more popular search engines will think you are, which helps you rate higher. This means that for your keywords those looking for RSS feeds will be able to find you in search engines such as Google and Yahoo. You should only submit your feeds in the correct category and use the proper keywords to ensure your feed can be found by those that are interested in your subject matter.

RSS feed Buttons

Your RSS feed button should be bright and ensure that visitors will find the feed. If you only have a link, your visitors will search and not find the feed. This will allow your visitors to shop around to other websites that have graphics placed in plain sight for their feeds. The feed button should be placed in the upper one third of the page usually in the upper left or right hand side of the page.

The Media

You should submit a press release. You can write the press release and submit it yourself, or hire a press release writer to do the work. Press releases are not written like other articles or posts on your website. In order for the release to be sent out, it must be written in a certain manner. If you do not know how to write a press release, you should hire a writer to ensure your release is accepted by the media.

Newsletter

If you have subscribers to your newsletter, then you have a great promotion tool. You can easily embed a link to your RSS feed in your newsletter. This way those that are subscribed to your newsletter can easily subscribe to your RSS feed and receive real time news as soon as your publish the content.

If you frequent blogs, you have another great resource for getting the word out about your new RSS feed. You can send out emails to the blogs you read and ask them to add a link on their blog. Some blogs will add a link for a small fee while others may only want a reciprocate link on your website or blog to theirs.
