Blog Promotion 101 - your RSS feed

June 28, 2007 | Author: Eve Lester | Filed under: SEO and Marketing

RSS feeds can be beneficial to your blog. What is RSS? RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a method pioneered by Netscape.com to deliver news headlines to it’s portal. If a site has an RSS feed, any user with an RSS Reader can subscribe to that feed. The feed then delivers headlines and short excerpts of each article posted on that website with a direct link to the article to read more. Many news sites offer RSS feeds.

I have got templates to redesign, emails to send, articles to write and so much more! I still plan on going to the gym tonight, no matter what.

Just in the two days since I’ve changed the positioning of the ads I’ve noticed an increase in revenue. Because we’re not allowed to share our exact adsense earnings I can’t give any more details, but I would say it has at least tripled.

I don’t feel up two it today, feeling a bit under the weather, but I do have plans to possibly completely changed the template here, although I really like the one I have; I feel it needs some changes that can best be done by switching the whole …
