Learn how to get your RSS Reader to visit your Blog. Doing that you can increase your Pageviews with quality visits, and earn more from the new set of visitors.

High number of RSS Readers denotes the Blog Authority. It states that the Blog has a long list of followers who constantly read the articles published here. However, there is a big disadvantage when it comes to the RSS Reader. It seriously limits your earning potential and decreases pages views from returning visitors. Also RSS Ads have proved to convert very poorly. Even though you would not want to lose your RSS Readers, often you would like them to visit your Blog. Let’s try how to accomplish this task.

1. Deliver only Excerpts via RSS

Probably the best way to bring your RSS Readers to your Blog is to provide them only with Post Excerpts. This way you almost gaurantee their visit to your Blog. However, it comes at a price. It may happen that your content in the Title and the Excerpts is not great and thus results in the Readers to ignore it altogether.

2. Link to other Post

Another sure shot way to get your Subscriber to your Blog is to link Content to previous post or other Parts of your Blog. This way if the RSS Subscriber wants to know more, will have to read the link, which in turn will take it to the Blog.

3. Write Content People want to Tweet or Bookmark

Write post which contains useful links and resources which people would like to Tweet or Share with other people. Although this is not common for a Text only post, unless you are a great writer, it would certianly work with posts containing lots of Links to sueful resources. It is a general tendency for people to open your post in the Browser to Bookmark and Share.

4. Redesign the Blog, change Theme or Layout

Redesign the Blog by changing the Theme or the Layout or add a Category to the Page Menu. Then write about it. Since the content are not available in the RSS Reader, it will cause them to visit your Blog and check it out. Do not use this trick too often as it might be irritating for the RSS Readers.

5. Encourage Reader to post Comments

Finally write an awesome post and encourage your readers to comment on it. You can also try with asking an open ended question and asking for views. This would encourage the Subscribers to visit your Blog and comment on it, to build a discussion.

TweetPhych analyzes the content of your Tweets and builds a Psychological Profile for you using two linguistic algorithms. Its spooky, but creative..!!

I stumbled this site while looking into my Twitter Stream. I was taken aback at the idea. This might not be a god Business Proposition but definitely creative enough for me to post.

TweetPhych analyzes the Content of your last 1000 Tweets and builds a Psychological Profile for you. This service works best if you are a Twitter Addict having more than 1000 Tweets and they represent conversations rather than just forwarding TinyURL links.

I tried my Primary Twitter Name “ThinkJayant” and the above results were thrown up. It uses two linguistic algorithms “Regressive Imagery Dictionary” and “Linguistic Inquiry and Wordcount” to come up with the Profile. Regressive Imagery Dictionary is measures the amount and type of three categories of content – primordial (the unconscious way you think, like in dreams), conceptual (logical and rational though) and emotional. While Linguistic Inquiry and Wordcount measures the cognitive and emotional properties of a person based on the words they use. The Service is still int Beta but worth a look.

Today we tried to upgrade to Wordpress 2.8 and faced few issues. Let is a short post describing the same. By the way, Wordpress 2.8.1 Beta is available for download.

Earlier today, Smart Blog Tips was upgraded to Wordpress 2.8. Sad thing is the transition was not smooth. First of all the PHP Memory Limit bug stinged us. After increasing the allotted Memory to 64MB, we could manage to do the automatic update. However, the problem was not over yet. The theme compatibility crept up. Related post was shown twice on the page bottom. Few plugins refuse to load. And over all the experience was patchy. Thank goodness we have our data backed up, so incase if anything gets lost, preparation was there for a fresh install.

Finally things are back up with couple of hour’s downtime. And this hit the analytics stats pretty bad. But since it was sunday, and the activity on this blog is lowest on Sundays, we hope not many visitor were disappointed. There are few issues still but then atleast we got up and running for the moment.

Wordpress 2.8.1 Beta is available to download. This is like a Service Pack release, where few bugs that poped up in version 2.8 are taken care of. Here are the major bug this update resolves:

• get_categories() function and incompatibility with certain themes
• Reduced Dashboard Memory Usage
• In case of a failed upgrade, accidental file deletion is avoided
• Fixed certain issues with Rich Text Editor Loading
• Beefed up security for plugins that do not provide xplicit permission checks
