How to Syndicate Your RSS Feed

If you syndicate your RSS Feed or advertise it, you will get an
immediate boost in traffic to your web site by others reading
and/or linking to your information.



There a 2 ways to do this:



a) Place an XML button at the top of your home page. This
is a little orange image that links to your RSS file. You can
see one at the top of my home page at www.isitebuild.com. Get a
copy of the image (right click, save picture as) and upload it
to your website. Place the image, with your xml link, on your
home page. For example, here's the line of code I placed on my
home page:



border="0" src="rss/rss_icon.jpg" alt="rss for maryland web
design" width="36" height="14">




Feel free use this code for your own site but remember to
replace the information with your own link.

b) Submit your site's RSS feed URL to various aggregators or
news readers.
This will enable them to start check your RSS
feed for updates.



Here is a list of some of the most popular news
aggregators:




Daypop: http://www.daypop.com/info/submit.htm

Syndic8: http://www.syndic8.com/suggest.php?Mode=data Aggregator

Userland: http://aggregator.userland.com/

Feedster: http://www.feedster.com/add.php

Postami: http://www.postami.com/rss.finder/submit_feed.php



Tip:

Update your RSS feed regularly - add new articles to
your RSS file on a regular basis. Make sure you link each
article to your site to increase your web traffic. Remember to
delete your old articles because the dates next to your articles
will adjust depending on when news aggregators pick them up.



You only need to do this once and then syndicators tracking your
feed automatically pick up your new feed items as you update
them.



Conclusion:



Even though RSS feeds is a relatively new way of marketing, once
you set it up it takes very little time to maintain and provides
another great way to increase the number of visitors to your web
site.
