Once you have nailed it in regard to writing good content for our blog and constantly keep your blog updated, then you have to find away to keep your all important readers up to date with your latest thought provoking posts. Also what your readers will keep coming back for are the links that you post to other sites for interest in the chosen niches that you are blogging about.
It can be impossible to keep up to date as the reader of a chosen niche unless you scour the internet on a regular basis, and let's face it who wants to do that in this day and age? It can be easy to miss stories of interest, so you need a simple effective way to keep up to date with it all.
The technique used is RSS; RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, it is a way of receiving updates from sites that you are interested in. They are delivered to your computer without having to visit the site in question and trawl through pages you have visited before. Not all sites offer RSS feeds but if you host your own WordPress blog for example you automatically have an RSS feed available. All the large sites available on the internet such as the BBC, Yahoo, CNN, eBay and many more have them available and are a great way to keep up to speed with the latest news, eBay auctions and weather.
Subscriptions to RSS feeds are free and so is the software needed to get them. These programs are called aggregators but are commonly referred to as feeders. You can choose between a RSS feeder that displays your feeds on a web page which is dedicated to RSS feeds or an application that runs on your PC as a stand-alone program. If you use Firefox or Opera as your web browser then you can even read RSS feeds there without having to go to special web pages or use an application.
In my view it is a simple process to add an RSS feed to your blog or site. If you are not currently practicing it then you are missing a trick. RSS offers a great way to interact with your base of readers. Who wants to put all that work into building up your blog, writing gripping content; but then having the problem of no one coming back to visit your site.
