How to Build Your RSS Feed Following

admin — Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:19:09 +0000

RSS (or Rich Site Summary) is a service that allows people to easily and quickly get updates from their favorite websites. Frequently updated websites such as blogs or news sites make use of RSS so that their fans are immediately notified when updates are made. Even though RSS makes it easy for fans to get updates from their organizations, some websites and blogs still struggle with building a decent RSS following. If you find that you'd like to see larger numbers reading what you've got to say, read on. This is the ultimate guide to building your RSS feed following.

1. Placement of the RSS Subscribe Button

The first thing you'll want to assess with your RSS feature is where you're placing your call-to-action for your RSS subscription service. As a rule of thumb, you will want to place your RSS button above the fold. "Above the fold" is a popular term used by techies to refer to what your user sees without scrolling just after they land on your page. If a user visits your site, they will have the highest chance of seeing and acknowledging the RSS button if it's immediately in view when they load the page.

Many web developers and designers choose to enlarge and place the button up around the navigation area, and it is quite common that designers add a bit of flair to it to draw attention to the area.

2. Talk About RSS Wherever You Can

Next, you should accept that there's a very real possibility that your audience doesn't know what RSS is. If they don't know what RSS is, they have no real reason to want to click the button. Educate your audience on RSS via various parts of your website. At the end, point them to the button and suggest that they give it a try.

3. Increase Traffic to Your Site

They always say that the more traffic a site receives, the higher the chance it has for conversions of multiple types. Because of this, you will want to also focus on the amount of traffic your website is receiving. You can increase traffic by employing SEO tactics, building backlinks, advertising, etc.

4. Simplify the RSS Feed Subscription Process

You should also take into consideration that your RSS subscription process could be too difficult or lengthy. Make sure not to request too much information or employ the use of long forms. Make sure the end user can subscribe in a maximum of two clicks.

5. Offer Useful Content

Overall, you'll want to offer your readers something useful. If your content is considered valuable, the followers should automatically come and exhibit an interest in subscribing to what you have to say. If the traffic is there but the RSS subscribers are not, consider what you're giving to them in terms of content. Is it something that they'd like to learn more about? A user clicking on your RSS button is essentially their way of saying that they're interested in what you have to say. If you're short on followers even after all of your hard work, consider the quality of content you're providing.

Packed with your bags … Ready to make a move?

Whom are you going to call for moving you. Some good movers, may be proclaiming to provide a good moving service. There are a lot of Movers in Miami and Fort Lauderdale these days, which is both good and bad. Good because this gives you good number of options for making a move from places to places, both locally and nationally, and Bad because it obviously increases the quandary and confusion regarding which one to choose. Plus there are also conditions regarding the transport service offered by them, the extent of their moment, permissions man power etc.

Moving services these days can now be compared through finding out the online solutions via some website offering a quotation of rates and services of various moving service providers. Other than this they’ll also offer you assistance regarding the packing material. People often think that while moving a ordinary or little packing material used would not make a big difference but as a matter of fact, it does. Using a degraded quality of packing material would always put your valuable luggage at a risk of being damaged very easily. Those plain old moving boxes that are used for moving are not all made with the same quality and materials, and they are not just the common standard boxes you see moved by retailers the world over.

Even if it’s tempting to just use the cheapest boxes and packing supplies you can get your hands on, try avoiding it because the quality of your moving boxes and supplies has a huge effect on whether your items arrive safely and securely at your new home.

It is therefore always advisable to use only boxes specially designed for moving when you’re packing your goods. You can also avail the help of some moving service and quotes providers to determine how many boxes and the type of boxes that will be needed to complete your move.

Moving boxes are made out of single or double wall corrugated cardboard. Thicker the wall of the box, higher is the strength, lower are the chances of your luggage being crushed. A term ECT is often used to define the strength of these boxes used for moving. ECT here stands for edge Crush Test rating the box will have. Professional moving companies generally use moving boxes with at least a 32 ECT rating or 300 pounds so that it can provide you with comfort that the box with your household belongings is strong enough to survive the move.

Planning your move is the most crucial step, so draw up an inventory of what you need to pack so that you have an idea of the type and quantity of items you need moved be considered before you are shopping for moving boxes and other packaging and cushioning stuff. Rearranging them, use them wisely to pack your stuff. Care for your luggage and never bear loss!! Though most of the things can be mended but following the old saying “Prevention is better than cure” – will always be delightful!

Investors: Do you ever get fooled at “social media and technology” conferences?

Question by Mike Clarkson: Investors: Do you ever get fooled at “social media and technology” conferences?
I just got back from a presentation detailing “the next big social media craze”. In other words, he spent 2 hours talking about technology and “bringing people together” without ever clearly showing how is project would make sense. When I asked him a question about how he thinks his project(a website, effectively) can compete in an already(and increasingly) super-saturated technology industry, he shrugged my skepticism off and went onto explain how his website was some unique little entity that would revolutionize society.

My question is, do many investors usually get fooled into thinking projects like these actually work? Does anyone really believe the phrase, “social media”, means anything anymore? It’s a ambiguous phrase that can mean anything to anyone, and ranks up close to “awesome” or “problem-solver”. Please tell me that all investors aren’t so ignorant to the state of technology that they’d be willing to gamble their money on the social media bandwagon.

Best answer:

Answer by cactusgene
Yes, many investors do get bamboozled by a glib talking new business owner and plunk down their hard earned money, especially if they have no clue of the tech sector they are investing in. They are led to believe they can get in on the ground floor. Unfortunately there is no elevator and in fact no building at all in those pipe dreams and they are forever stuck on the ground floor, while the operators burn through his cash.

Your suspicions are well warranted, especially since the presenter could not answer your specific and reasonable questions and he does not appear have any facts or statistics to show the business will likely be successful.
