An RSS feed contains a running list of articles or other content published by various websites. This way, you can easily access the latest content.

This is definitely a good thing if you want to increase traffic to your website. By connecting your website to their RSS feed readers, your reader will constantly come across your latest content, encouraging them to see what’s new.

However, we have to ask ourselves how to get more out of RSS feeds.

The answer is quite simple! Add your website’s (or other) RSS feed to your social media profiles, such as Twitter and LinkedIn. This way, your profiles will always stay updated and fresh with the latest content from your website or other pages you follow.

What becomes more important for your social media accounts is that you can’t create content every day. For example, if you want to keep your LinkedIn profile up-to-date but can’t find relevant, authentic content to share on a daily basis, you can connect RSS feeds to your LinkedIn profiles and pages. This way you can keep them fresh and constantly publishing! To learn more about this specific topic, you can read our detailed article here:

Given the key importance of constant and regular posting to increase your follower count, automatic posting to RSS feeds offers a lot to boost your profiles.

When it comes to how you manage to add RSS feeds to your social media accounts, there is a boring way (as always). That is, manually or one by one!

However, if you want to share your RSS feeds to your accounts in a collaborative and automatic way without any effort, Circleboom Publish is at your disposal.

The best content to convert to an RSS feed https://datorss.com/the-best-content-to-convert-to-an-rss-feed/ Sun, 26 Feb 2023 14:15:00 +0000 https://datorss.com/?p=62 A website where new content is added is ideal for an RSS feed.

A website where new content is added is ideal for an RSS feed. This may sound like a broad category, but there are many great examples: a news website with regular news from many contributors, a blog with frequent updates, an image board where many users can post images, a band website where new music is posted, a podcast or video blog (vlog). Even a shopping site can have an RSS feed to notify customers when new products are added.

For most small sites, a popular choice is to create a single RSS feed for each new update on the site. For example, if you’re a musician, add an update every time you post a new song, if you’re a blogger, then every time you post a new blog post.

But for a large site that often has a number of contributors, having multiple RSS feeds, such as one for each content tag and author, is a great way to allow users to filter your site’s content by only the pieces they are interested in. Allowing users to choose the content they want will keep them coming back. For example, a user may only be interested in “Ada Rose Cannon” articles or “Fun Facts” topics.

An RSS feed is essentially a machine-readable view of the various index pages on your website. If there is a page that allows users to get a filtered view of your website’s content, then creating a machine-readable RSS feed for it is also a natural choice.

RSS is an abbreviation for Rich Site Summary (also known as Really Simple Syndication) and is a type of content feed format used to publish websites that are updated frequently, such as blogs, news sites, audio and video sites.

Many blogs and news sites use RSS to attract readers. Avid readers often subscribe to the websites they want to follow and view news and content headlines in a summary list. For example, some journalists will use RSS to keep up with news or stories, including content from a business or government press office. Here are some simple practical tips for developing websites with frequently published content, such as blogs or press centers.

Some best practices for promoting RSS

  • Promote the visibility of your RSS on your website in an accessible area as well as on the sitemap page
  • Use a standard RSS button/icon
  • Make sure your RSS feed is available on the page of your individual post/article
  • Add a link to your RSS feed to your sitemap
  • Place your RSS feed on Linkedin if you are lazy and don’t want to selectively promote articles
  • Subscribe to RSS yourself and follow other sites, blogs, and competitors to personally generate ideas
  • Use SEO best practices for headlines and snippets with published content pieces
  • Use a web-based feed management tool, such as Feedburner.com, to access feed statistics and analytics
  • Submit your RSS feed to Ping-O-Matic
