RSS Feeds
Your website can benefit from showing relevant information from other peoples rss feeds but remember why these other sites have gone to the trouble and expense of creating these feeds: its to get your visitors to visit their website.The problem with rss
the problem is that the person who created the interesting content is actually the person in control. Example: suppose you had a website that sold widgets and you decided that your website was a little stale and felt that is should change more frequently. So you stick and interesting rss feed on the top that is going to disply the latest news about widgets. A visitor come to your website and sees the interesting link to the widget news and follows it off your website, the visitor may forget to return to your website and you have potentially lost a sale. The widget news website just got a new visitor from you and may sell them something through advertising perhaps to a competitor or yours.I don't believe that sticking someone else rss feed on your website in order to make it dynamic is a good idea at all.
How to gain from rss
To benefit from rss you have to be in control and therefore you have to make the news content yourself, hopefully feed it to other website with a view to getting their visitors to come to your site and buy your widgets. The news your create needs to be interesting and regular and worth your readers time. Blogs are one of the easiest and cheapest ways to generate rss for your website . Simply link your blog to your website and regularly update it with news - price changes - new products ideas and news relating to your particular area.Related Articles
