If your trying to find information on how to use RSS feeds to increase the traffic to your website, then your in luck. In this article I'll tell you not only how to go about doing this but also some important tricks you need to know. First of all I'll start by explaining the importance of using RSS feeds for traffic generation, as some people reading this article wont understand the importance of the RSS technique. An RSS feed of your website or blog, is a list of all the articles on the website, and also contains any links you have in the articles/blog posts. By creating and distributing these RSS feeds you can effectively turn every link in your site in to a multitude of links from different locations. While any video or images you may have embedder in your articles will be striped out, this really isn't a problem. Remember that an RSS feed always comes with the location its taken from in it, and because of that anyone who wants to see the media can simply click through to your actual website. RSS feeds are distributed to readers via online services known as RSS aggregators. An RSS aggregator is a website that you go to an enter your RSS feed address, and supply a title and they create a page on their site just to display your feed. If anyone is interested in reading your content they can subscribe to the RSS feed to get your latest news. Don't forget that every RSS aggregator you give you RSS feed to, will create a webpage to display that feed. By the time your feed is listed on 50 RSS aggregators, every time you post one link on your blog. You will actually be making 50. Also as every RSS feed points back to your website, you have a large amount of inbound one way backlinks, and all from relevant content web pages. Inside of every blog post or article you post you should include your websites address. The reason for doing this is so that any body reading your RSS feed will know exactly where the content came from. Don't forget that people regularly use RSS feeds as a means of getting fresh content on their blogs. By displaying several peoples RSS feeds, they can effectively have a super blog which is full of content. They will still have the problem of providing fresh content, as duplicate content doesn't rank well but even so it would help fill out their blog. Knowing that people will use your content this way you should include your own web address in every blog post, as this will inform their readers where the content came from, and mean they are giving you a backlink. There are many different techniques that can be used to boost your website traffic, though I think one of the easiest is the RSS feed. By setting these simple to do RSS feeds up, and submitting your address to a good number of aggregators, you instantly boost your linking power. On top of that is the super bonus, you only have to do it once and it works for ever.About the Author:
