Using RSS Feeds to Increase your Exposure on the Web
What is an RSS Feed
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is used for distributing news and other web content. When you put content into RSS and send that content to other people or websites, it's called a feed.
* RSS feeds keep your audience constantly updated each time you upload new content to your website.
* Feeds are very powerful. They attract the interest of the search engines and they reach new audiences.
* They allow people to see your content without having to go to the website. Now that may sound like a bad idea, but in today's fast-paced world, anything that saves us time and frustration is valued. How many websites have you intended to go back to and then forgotten about them? Even those we bookmark don't get visited.
* Let's people subscribe to an electronic feed rather than block up their email account with information each time your website has been updated.
How Do You Read an RSS Feed
Reading feeds is similar to watching a recorded DVD or Video. The Feed sends out programs and you need a devise set to pick up their shows. With RSS you send out your content in a feed and subscribers use a newsreader or RSS reader to read it.
The personalized pages of search engines have a reader built right in. You can read feeds with an iGoogle page or a MyYahoo page. Some people prefer to use a separate RSS reader.
Newsreaders offer a variety of special features, including combining several related feeds into a single view, hiding items that the viewer has already seen, and categorizing feeds and items.
Once you set up your reader with your preferences, it will collect the feeds you're interested in every time there is an update.
How will an RSS Reader Help My Business
* Every blog has a feed. Most of the new social media sites are using RSS Feeds to distribute their content. Twitter runs on RSS feeds, Facebook and MySpace use feeds.
* You can add feeds to your news and tap in to the power of the social web. A feed will increase the reach and visibility of your news content.
* Search Engines pick up RSS feeds and include them in their organic searches
Let's say you update your website with valuable content regularly. If a visitor doesn't come back to your site and see all those updates, they won't know about them. But with an RSS feed they automatically gets the content updates. In time, this may lead to additional lead generation to your website and increased sales.

Facebook and Beacon - What Do You Think
- This landed in my inbox. Any thoughts???? Personally, I think they really overstepped the bounds of maintaining personal privacy with this one.
Facebook Signals Changes With Beacon
David A. Utter | Staff Writer
The ringing outcry against Facebook Beacon, which posted people's
online purchases to their friends' News Feeds, led to Facebook
altering the program.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's aggressive move into referral
advertising through the Beacon technology ran into a brick wall of
user discontent. After days of complaints that spread throughout
the media world, Facebook has changed their Beacon policies.
"Users now have more control over the stories that get published
to their Mini-Feed and potentially to their friends' News Feeds,"
the company said. Other details of the changes have been published
in the Beacon FAQ available to Facebook members:
"If you are logged in to Facebook and visit a Beacon Affiliate,
an action you take (like writing a review or purchasing an item),
may trigger that website to want to publish a story to Facebook.
Before that happens, a notification will display in the lower right
corner of your screen. If you click "No Thanks"...no stories or
information will be published anywhere on Facebook. If you click
"Close" or ignore the story, the story will be sent to Facebook,
but not yet published."
The previous version of Beacon would go ahead and publish details
of a purchase or other conversion activity on a participating
website directly to the Facebook user's Mini-Feed, which would
then appear on the News Feeds of friends tracking that Mini-Feed.
Some people complained that the notification appearing on a
Beacon partner site of the pending publication did not appear.
Facebook said people were leaving pages before the notification
dialogue could be fully displayed, and they have changed the
process to confirm the full notification has been shown to the
person.

Website Ranking Optimization
- There are many myths about SEO but I want to tell you the plain truth. The do-it-yourself person can accomplish just as much as the professional. You must be willing to do many tasks of Website Optimization if you want to succeed. There is much information on the Internet on SEO. Some will tell you that the secret to high rankings is creating and submitting many RSS Feeds. Others will tell you that you need quality reciprocal links. Is there just one way of gaining first page on Google?

Re: How To Post A Forum Topic That Gets Responses
- Great suggestions...
I like this one especially:
"Start a Debate - pick a more controversial topic or one that you think people will have strong opinions about - state the case for two sides of the arguement and let your readers go at it. Eg: Video on a DSLR - Would You Use It? and Full or Partial RSS Feeds?"
I also like to mix up the topics even if it moves a little bit outside the focus of the forum. It keeps things interesting.
