WordPress and RSS
WordPress does have a lot of cool RSS features built in. That is one reason we love to use wordpress as our choice publishing platform here at RSS 3.0
However there are some functionality and capabilities that many people do not even know of and this is what we are going to discuss in this article. You can of course tell the feed how many posts to show and if you want your information syndicated as a description or full text and we do suggest that you use the full text of your posts, it's like getting more bang for you buck as far as getting your content out there.
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.
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.
Visitors can Subscribe for Updates
With your document placed on your website, your visitor can now enhance it to another level. There is software that will let them subscribe, so they can easily check on what's going on. To subscribe to a feed you must have software. There is different software on the web for RSS Feeds, like RSS Reader, Feed Reader, Internet Explorer 7+ and Firefox 3+. Once subscribed to your RSS Feed it will dynamically update and notify you when there is a new article, blog or update. Feeds make it very easy for your subscribers to see the newest content.
If you have a bunch of categories on your site and people interested in one may not be interested in the other, why not give your website visitors the control to choose with section of rss updates they want to follow? This is a great way to get more subscribers to your rss feed and make sure that your subscribers are only getting the updated information that interests themThe end result is your website gets found by more visitors, either indirectly by the link on the RSS aggregator website, or directly in the search engines because your website now ranks better because of the links from the RSS aggregator sites.
In the past it has been rather time consuming to manually submit RSS feeds to these websites. But great software is constantly coming out that will automate this process.
Early versions of the software would require you to create your own RSS feed and to specify which sites to submit to, and it although quicker than a pure manual process would still be a time consuming process.
WordPress Multiple RSS Feed - How To
We want to let everybody know that there are some plugins that will allow you to do this, but we have found them to be literally useless and then they want a back link on your site on top of there lack of development. So, that in mind you have been warned and here is what you need to do to create your own rss feeds from your site.
1. Make all the categories you want on the site and make sure that the children categories are named as you would like your rss feed to be named.
2. Go to the category of your blog that you want to make a new feed from.
3. In the address bar of your web browser, go to the end of the web address and add this /feed/
with the forward slashes!
4. Hit the enter key or load this web address you have just created.
5. You should now be looking at the RSS Feed of that category, you've done it!.
Very Easy to Implement
Feeds are very easy to learn and use. It should be something to consider when developing your website. Your website is giving your visitors a quick and easy way to get their content and giving them a subscription to get new content. There shouldn't be any other reason not to. A RSS Feed can keep regular visitor visiting and give you backlinks to your website. There are also RSS directories that can help get you new traffic.
