RSS guidelines

2011-06-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

The arguments continue to rage over the ambiguities in the RSS specifications. But the fact is: RSS is here to stay, and the currently defined RSS 2.0 specification is likely to be as good as it will have. Have tried to create "best practices" documents and specification clarifications. We thought it would be useful to provide the General guidelines for those constructing an RSS 2.0 feed. In General, the following guidelines for the construction of an RSS feed. It is good to get into a habit to validate the RSS feed, either with the software or with an online validator. Here are some general guidelines for creating RSS Feeds: 1. Sample local includes only one enclosure per item for maximum compatibility. RSS 2.0 specification does not clearly state whether multiple enclosures are allowed or not, but most RSS readers support only a single chassis. It is therefore best to satisfy your readers, and includes only a single enclosure in each item of RSS. 2. date formats, date formats, can be very difficult; Make sure that all dates are formatted correctly. 3. Codingcoding required for specific characters. If you are using software to create the feed, it must handle the character encoding for you. 4. HTML specification is not explicit, it is generally a good idea not to use HTML coding in the channel or item titles. For maximum feed compatibility, is the only place you need to use HTML in RSS Feed item description. 5. GUID GUID (Global Unique IDentifiers) are not required. However, publishers are encouraged to use a unique string in the GUID. Many RSS readers look for GUID changes to determine if new items are available in an RSS feed. 6. Images if you include an image with a feed, the suggested image size is 88 x 31 (the maximum allowable size is 144 x 400). If you include an image in the RSS feed item description or enclosure fields, not size, but keep in mind that excessively large graphics negative effect on the amount of time it takes to load the feed. 7. Favicons some RSS readers and search engines favicon of video hosting services domain beside the list to an RSS feed. To your feed to stand out, make sure that you include a favicon in the root directory of your site's domain. 8. Urlsuse "absolute" URLs for images, home pages and links, instead of "relative" URLs. The intent of RSS is to publish content, so the RSS feed may not always be local to the person who sees the diet. As such, it should be full web path for all images, Web sites and malicious hyperlinks used. In other words, do not use ".../ImageUrl.gif ", but instead use the full URL address" http://www.mydomain.com/imageurl.gif "by linking to content. 9. Titlesuse a meaningful title for the channel feed and RSS feed elements. Most RSS directories and search engines use the words in the channel title and topic title to classify RSS feeds.10. MIME typesif you include a file in the enclosure in an RSS feed, you must remember to properly define "file size" and "MIME-type" of the file enclosure. A list of properly MIME-type formats can be found here-http://www.feedforall.com/mime-types.htm. 11. Auto-Discovery includes RSS feed "auto-discovery" code in the HTML header. This will allow certain browsers and RSS feed readers to automatically know that an RSS feed is available for specific content. Tool to createAutoDiscovery code-http://www.feedforall.com/autodiscovery.htm 12. Volume the number of items in a feed is important. Establish a history and expand the feed on a regular basis. Cropping RSS feed if it becomes too long; This will help to make the RSS feed load faster. About the author:

Blog post ideas

2011-06-09T00:11:00.000-07:00

Places to get ideas for blog posts
By Sharon Housley

Best blogs and feeds are those that contain unique, fresh, compelling, content. Where do these prolific posters so that their ideas? I spoke to a handful of bloggers to determine where their inspiration came from for their content. Not surprisingly, ideas for Blog posts or RSS feed items originate or are influenced by other Web content. The following are meeting places for finding your online muse: 1. Google News
Monitor Google News for keywords related to your industry. If you find a story disagree with or agree completely with write about it. Add your thoughts, and editorialize content. This does not mean you should just Send again Google news summaries. The value is not only in News aggregation, but in the comment, you grant. Bind news items for specific events, conditions, or the impact of specific news on the industry. Add a point or reference to a news article adds genuine value. 2. Web Logs
Look at your websites "long tail" and examine your web logs. Find phrases that are relevant to your site and write in-depth information about these topics. This is especially useful if your blog or RSS feed is used as a marketing tool for your Web site. By focusing on obscure or less popular keywords and phrases that exist in your web logs, you will not only find that you give your readers the content of interest, but you will attract additional web traffic. 3, assemble
Many bloggers have established themselves as "experts" by simply to gather and organize a large collection of information related to a specific field. Use the blog or feed to announce and organize information, new products or services in an unbiased manner within a specific industry. 4. Search
Most people assume that there is information on each topic on the Internet, but it is not necessarily the case. If you stumble on an area where there is minimal content, consider it an opportunity. Continue to develop content. Chances are if you're looking for content as well as another is, develop a blog posts or RSS feed information, find inaccessible. 5. Untouchable content
Consider tackling all content, many other publishers find difficult or unpleasant. Controversial or content that is difficult to write about often overlooked, look at challenging content as an option.6. monitor authority Blogs
Watch authority blogs for developing countries industry news. Comment to any new or leaders, as you either agree or disagree. This can attract attention from an authority blog and could lead to a link to your comment. Be sure to credit the source of any blog posts that you comment on or quote. 7. Advice
If you are an expert? Consider developing an advice column. Let readers send questions and post questions and answers in your blog or RSS feed. This allows readers to direct your content. 8. Conversations
Many bloggers and publishers discover topic ideas from conversations. Create dialogue with both individuals familiar and know your blog topic, the questions that come up could be good fodder for posts. 9. Forums/newsgroups/Usenet
Forums are great places to find topic ideas. Read topic specific forum posts and then editorialize and summarize positions. 10. Look outside the box
Do not constrain your thinking parameters that exist online. Best RSS feeds and blogs are targeted, clear, consistent and unambiguous. It is okay to occasionally step outside your comfort zone to find appealing content. While breaking news has obvious value to make timeless content and "how to" posts. Don't be afraid to mix it and give your readers a combination of the two. About the author:

A Quiz: Test your RSS smarts

2011-06-08T10:04:00.000-07:00

You think you have learned to RSS, but how much do you really know? Take RSS quiz to test your knowledge of RSS.
Question: If something is in an RSS feed, it is perfectly fine to reproduce the content of the diet. I believe after all RSS means really simple syndication, right? Reply: no, it is not true. Regardless of whether the content is in a feed or not, has the original creator of content the right to restrict its use. While most people feel that if the content is in an RSS feed, it will be available for syndication--it is not always the case. Various groups have made efforts to add namespaces which expand the tags used in RSS, define whether the content is available for syndication. The two most notable namespaces that detailed permissions are Creative Commons extension and Blog lines ' access extension. These two extensions not yet widely supported so that it is always best to check the conditions for the service associated with the feed or Web site on the feed is available for syndication.Questions: RSS is only for blogs right? All blogs have RSS feeds right? Reply: no, and no! While blogs may have contributed to the increasing popularity of RSS feeds, RSS feeds are not specific to blogs. RSS feeds can be used for all types of content not just blogs. In fact, there are probably several RSS feeds for non-blogs than there are feeds for blogs. Publishers have used RSS feeds for articles, press releases, discounts, podcasts, calendars, alerts, and the list goes on and. Question: when I add a new item to the feed, do I edit just the old rss file or do I create a new one? Reply: If you want to add content in connection with the theme of the original RSS feed, you should always extend your existing RSS feed, rather than to create a new feed. Do not edit any of the RSS feed existing elements, only to add a new item to your existing RSS feed.Question: can RSS Feeds be configured for private list subscribers and what kind of security is available for the RSS sources to support a private feed? Reply: Yes, while there is no provision in the RSS 2.0 specification for passwords or protect files, you can use any available security mechanism on the http server to protect your entire RSS feed. Security settings are dependent on the capabilities of your Web server.Question: what is a feed reader? Reply: A feed reader can also refer to a news aggregator. RSS feed-readers come in all shapes and sizes and are just tools that make it easy for users to view content or headlines in RSS feeds they subscribe to. Feed readers can be desktop applications or Web applications. Desktop readers are applications that behave similar to an e-mail client, you add new feeds, and when RSS feeds that you subscribe to is updated new elements can appear in the RSS reader. Web aggregators Web sites that aggregate all of your favorite feeds, the Web page is updated dynamically as new items are added to the feeds you subscribe to. Many e-mail programs now includes also the possibility to monitor RSS feeds. RSS popularity increases, expand the options to read and monitor RSS feeds.Question: can you block a search engine from access to a feed? Reply: You can use a robots.txt file to indicate to search engines, there are specific RSS feeds do not want indexed. Most search engines will comply with the contents of a correctly formatted robots.txt file. Question: what is a GUID? Reply: A GUID is a globally unique identifier. RSS specification strongly suggests that each RSS feed item has a unique GUID. If you are creating feeds, a GUID is important because Guids are often used by feed readers and aggregators to determine whether a feed item is new or simply an existing element that has been updated. Each element in the RSS feed should have a different GUID.

Microsoft and Google shows it is time for RSS marketing

Microsoft and Google shows it is time for RSS marketing
Copyright 2005 Rok Hrastnik many internet marketers are still considering whether to start marketing with RSS or not. It seems that not even all case studies, hard metrics and benefits available can t to convince them, or everyone would jump on the RSS bandwagon now. Like overview, here are some of the benefits of marketers missing out on by not marketing with RSS: A] 100% delivery of their marketing, relationship building and educational messages to their subscribers, customers, prospects and partners. Email isn t to get shipped, but with RSS, you will achieve 100% delivery. (B)] increased search engines and fast indexing and increased traffic from other RSS-enabled online sources. (C)] get your content on the Internet published on other sites. (D)] creates new subscribers more easily and quickly. (E)], and much much more even if you don t believe that RSS is used by enough people right now that s still no excuse not to start using it as a vehicle to generate more traffic to your websites. But soon all this will also change. As it was widely predicted, Microsoft to integrate RSS support in the next version of its Internet Explorer, and perhaps more importantly, it makes it an integral part of its long-awaited Longhorn operating system. What does it mean for marketers? (A)] in the process of being integrated into IE, and other Microsoft software, achieves mass penetration RSS. This means for marketers, RSS finally will be one of the standard tools of mass communication and content delivery. In addition, start internet users expect RSS from marketers, probably even more than e-mail newsletters. (B)] marketers will no longer (Finally, of course, when most of the world starts by using the latest software versions) have to explain how you get an RSS reader, but will be able to focus only on presenting their activities and benefits to the end-user. (C)] broader RSS integration in Microsoft's tools provide additional RSS applications far beyond basic content delivery in the form of stories, podcasts, and products. Marketers and developers will be able to deploy rich interaction programs to make communication and business/personal interaction more liquid, easier and more efficient. In essence, for many advanced marketers marketing with RSS capability will mean their either in or out of the game. (D)] this is now official. Marketers must start leading and implementing RSS feeds accross their communicational innitiatives from PR to direct marketing and sales. And above all this, Google recently began serving Google AdSense ads in RSS feeds, as well as. The profound meaning behind this are four-fold: A] new "automatic" is the perfect option for RSS publishers to monetize their RSS feeds. With Google's default inclussion in "runnings" of AdSense ads, publishers expect to monetize on RSS immediately. (B)] this is another reason for publishers to begin to publish their content through RSS, especially since it will not cost them nothing or very little, but will provide them with an extra source of revenue. With low cost aspect of the RSS, we can expect a flood of new publishers to the set-up RSS feeds of their content to generate more AdSense clicks. (C)] with RSS ads included in the feeds, you will be more advertisers aware of RSS and its marketing potential. (D)] by using the RSS advertising publishers are now not only create an additional revenue source, but it is actually ensure that they do not lose ad revenue opportunities. We used to refer to RSS as a future. Well, that future is now. If you re not ready to start marketing with RSS, can only run you over time. As well as your competitors

Everyone is talking RSS

Everyone is talking about RSS
By http://MCPromotionsPress.com

No matter if you call it "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary," RSS is absolutely all the rage right now online. With email filtering, IP blocking and the latest "can Spam Act", all scampering for a better way to get their messages across to their subscribers.

With RSS need customers to come to your site or open up their inboxes to get your latest news and updates. When they subscribe to your "feed", comes news them automatically. But Wait; I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let us return to Basic.

RSS is an XML-based format that originated from Netscape. Using RSS, you first need to create what is called a "feed". This is basically a file that you upload to your server. RSS feeds of data ends in a rdf or rss.XML Extensions and can be created by hand. An RSS file must include headlines, links and summaries of the content you want to distribute.

When a feed has been created, can other computers subscribe to your "channel" and read your updates by using what is called a "News Reader" or "news reader."

Most feeds consist of a link with a short summary click to read the whole article. You place let people know your Web site offers an RSS feed, an orange XML icon on your Web site linked to the URL of your feed. Also, you must list your feed with different RSS search engines are just for the purpose of the collection of a database of feeds.

So what kind of things you can transform to feeds? I trøde that you never want to pray. Any area of your site that change regularly is a good candidate. Things like newsletters, news announcements, site updates, something that you regularly update.

If you have no idea how to create a feed, this site will do it for you: http://MyRSS.com.

Write just the HTML page you want to build a feed from and convert it to RSS you automatically.

Another great tool that creates an RSS feed for you is http://feedster.com/builder.php?next=cfintro. This works especially well if you need a feed your third-party host Blog, for example, Blogger.

There is also a script that converts any HTML doc to RSS-go to http://kalsey.com/tools/blogfeed/. If you want to validate your feed, you can do so at http://feedvalidator.org.

A news reader is just a software program that brings news directly to you in an organized, easy to read format. Let us look at some of your options when it comes to the readers and what is available to you.

Check out http://Syndic8.com for thousands of choices. Now that you understand the technology, what are the advantages and disadvantages of RSS? Here is a great: your subscribers do not need to abandon their e-mail addresses, which is great for those with data protection. RSS puts control of subscriptions directly in the hands of your users. When they want to unsub scribe delete they just feed from their reader. It also reduces the risk of Spam accusations. If you are an ezine publisher, and you don't need to worry about getting your messages in the past all the filters in place of users and Internet service provider's (ISP).

The disadvantage is that you do not include user customization, and you have no way of knowing how many people subscribe to your feed. Also at this time, RSS may seem a little complicated to novices, and it has not been widely adopted by Web users.

If you do not have examined RSS, now it's time to consider this technology as another avenue to reach out to visitors on the website, and keep them informed.

Search engine optimization for RSS

2011-06-07T09:46:00.000-07:00

Tips for helping your RSS Feed perform!
In some ways RSS is very similar to HTML, the language commonly used to create Web sites. As with HTML, search webmasters using traditional engine optimization tactics, when you create an RSS feed will find their RSS feed receives additional exposure and interest.
Simple steps to optimize an RSS feed for search engines: 1.) the title shall include important keywords.
To state the obvious the title should be relevant and not misleading, while still emphasizing keywords. At the end of the day, give the title readers to read about, not mislead them.
2.) Display RSS feeds.
Most webmasters display their feeds as content on their home page. When you view a feed you will need to use PHP, ASP or HTML so that search engines will spider the contents of the feed displayed. If using a template to display the feeds, use the header tags to define the appearance of the channel title and item titles. Many Search engines weight header tags with greater significance. See display RSS feeds for additional information-http://www.small-business-software.net/display-rss.htm
3.) Internal and external Links.
Within the feed, you should always use the full path to the links, keep in mind that other sites may publish the information in the RSS feed. Hyperlinks that are not local to the site should launch a new browser. While this is not specific to the search engines it will help keep visitors on your site.
4.) Link text should highlight keywords.
It is no longer a deep, dark secret that text is used for incoming connections will help a site revenue potential define the keywords that the Web site appears in search engines. Keep that in mind, you must use keywords in the link text pointing back to your site.
5. My). Yahoo and My MSN.
This is surprisingly simple to do, but often overlooked by publishers and webmasters. The quickest way to have an RSS feed spidered by Yahoo or MSN must include feed on a personal my. yahoo or my msn home page.. Simply create an account on the respective search engines and customize the home page to include your RSS feed. This is done by adding content and listing the URL of the RSS feed. Typically within 24-48 hours the feed content will be spidered and indexed by Yahoo and MSN.
6. Theme feeds.)
Feeds should theme. This will help with theme links back to a Publisher's site from anyone syndicating the feed content.
7.) Link popularity.
Increase link popularity by submitting RSS feed, blog or podcast to the appropriate folders. The following directories Allow submissions of specific kinds of RSS feeds. Be sure to follow the guidelines for each site, and choose categories wisely.Submit Podcasts-http://www.podcasting-tools.com/submit-podcasts.htm

2011-06-06T10:01:00.000-07:00

Copyright 2005 John Doetsch,
RSS, also known as Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, has been used for years by online visitors. However, it is only recently started to gain popularity among webmasters as a means to provide visitors with constantly updated content. These feeds were originally designed to deliver updated news faster, but they have since evolved to nearly instantaneous updates of many types of information. Growing sites can take advantage of RSS feeds, since they allow for fresh copy is updated regularly online. When RSS feeds are inserted into Web pages, provides a steady stream of syndicated content is updated on an ongoing basis. Most RSS feeds consist of a heading, content summary and a link to the actual online article. They are typically consist in XML, a markup language similar to HTML, allow webmasters to manipulate and integrate the new copy into their existing site pages. The increased popularity of these RSS feeds enjoyed online sites as they have helped to drive increased traffic and Search engine ranking results.

Articles are also easy to find on RSS feeds, as they can be categorized for easy navigation. This increases the chances of receiving visitors from other sites.

RSS won the Syndication standards battle

2011-06-06T04:50:00.000-07:00

RSS won the battle
RSS seems to have captured last continues to be the industry syndication standard.

Microsoft's inclusion of RSS into the newest version of Internet Explorer and reports that RSS will be in the Longhorns upcoming release seems to be the final nail in the coffin of the Atom specification. Even Atom's steadfast supporter Google, seems to have seen the light. Google had previously acquired Blogger, a popular blogging tool, uses the Atom specification to publish the contents of blogs created on Blogger platform. In the past Google had strategically steered clear of endorsing the RSS specification hoping that Atom would take hold.

Google's latest new service that allows web surfers to monitor Google News RSS-or Atom-feeds, seems to be a confirmation, perhaps in purchasing Blogger, they chose the wrong specification.

The adoption of a syndication standard was slowed by the struggle between Atom and RSS. Two defined syndication standards vying for the number one position. In an IT industry that clearly favors single standard solutions, Atom supporters claimed added flexibility, but RSS ' wide sweeping support from heavy hitters like Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo. Along with the popularity of shows increase in podcasting, which is based on the RSS 2.0 specification are sealed the fate of the future syndication standard.

History and the relationship between RSS and Atom is a sordid tale, which has impeded the progress of an online RSS standard. Now that the leader has been defined their is little in the way of RSS ' growth. Businesses leery of becoming involved in a fight for standards now embracing RSS as a communication channel.

It is clear that those who have lined up behind RSS as the leading specification are the winners.

Strangely enough, while those entrenched in the industry recognises the difficulties of a double standard, users rarely see a difference in feeds created using the Atom and RSS standards. Most popular RSS readers support reading feeds in both formats. Although the purpose of RSS and Atom is the same, is the specification itself is very different, which makes it difficult and time consuming for tool developers to move between the two standard.

Now that Atom attempts to replace RSS has fallen flat, see Syndication arena will probably significant innovation and progress.

Sized enterprises taking advantage of RSS ' extendibility using namespaces adding needed tags. Apple has done this with iTunes, Microsoft for ordered lists, and Yahoo with MediaRSS. All use the same basic RSS 2.0 format, but supports defined RSS ' future is bright with many companies working proactively to unite once divided standard.

What can be published using RSS

2011-06-05T17:00:00.000-07:00

With all the enormous amount of information available on the Internet, it is becoming more and more difficult to sort through and find what you are looking for. RSS significantly lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. RSS have unique opportunity to gather information, and you can filter them so that you can only see unique and relevant content. Information superhighway become packed with content, and those familiar with technology uses RSS to filter content, will be able to drill down and access only the content they want, without having to wade through all the noise. There are very few subjects or topics that currently do not have a RSS feed available. Perhaps it would be easier to ask what can not be published using RSS? RSS is a standardized format published by the Internet content, not just blogs and podcasts, but any form of content. Podcasting clearly shows that feeds can be media-rich, and while podcasting is generally regarded as a medium for entertainment, the educational value of podcasting is not lost on many educational institutions. Industry has been a little slower to embrace the power and the importance of RSS as a communication medium, but industry leaders adopt gradually it as a new and powerful method of communication. But back to the original point ... RSS can deliver virtually any type of content, including spreadsheets, PowerPoint applications, database updates, video tutorial, and much more. The true value of RSS feeds is that the Subscriber can review and evaluate the information at a time and place of their own choice. There are a number of ways companies can make use of the RSS feeds ... Automated generated Feeds (like ego searches)Google, Yahoo and many Blog search engines can automate the generation of RSS feeds, often based on a keyword or keyword phrase. Updated each time the keyword appears in a search result, the RSS feed is. This is a good way for companies to keep up to date on industry news, competitors, or even their own company, staff and marks. Manually created RSS Feeds Webmasters can create targeted RSS feeds that contain unique and targeted content. RSS feeds can be created manually by the webmasters to target specific types of content. Existing Feeds Webmasters and publishers can often use existing RSS feeds to create Web content. Existing RSS can be merged and filtered to create new RSS feeds and content. The new merged or filtered RSS feeds can then re-released or displayed on a Web site. There are a number of free tools and tutorials available to assist webmasters in merge, filtering and viewing of the contents of a web feed.Link to Display RSS Feeds-http://www.feedforall.com/displaying-rss.htm database Feeds publishers, webmasters can extract information from a database, and then give this content via an RSS feed. The information contained in such an RSS feed is updated dynamically as the contents of the database changes. RSS is a great tool for businesses, but it is important to respect copyrights. Do not assume that any content in someone else's RSS feed is free of charge for you to publish. It is important to review all policies for the use of the RSS feed original publisher before syndicating the contents of the RSS feed. About the author:

Marketers on best RSS:

What is your top tip?

We know how to set the end of 2004 to collect the best possible insights on RSS marketing from top marketers and RSS developers and managers, to Unleash marketing and Publishing power of RSS. Let s get started

1. How can RSS be fully integrated into our marketing and communications mix

Answered by Robin good, MasterNewMedia.org

"From what I can see the RSS is an effective marketing channel, since it allows for easy and expanded distribution of your core news and information channels to the widest possible audience with very low costs, maximum compatibility with a large number of media devices and added the possibility for the customer to take on this information, and then reuse it hir (his + hers) advantage.

Which allows customers to further be marketers and promoters for your own products and services. If we allow open content of public RSS feeds to be freely subscribed, syndicated, re-aggregated and re-released we find only to new and larger value can be extracted each time a person go about this.

So it is important not to keep RSS newsfeeds below the locks.

RSS is one of the cleanest viral marketing channels. Its virality is spelled clearly in its acronym: Really Simple Syndication.

Yes, you need to do these three words make sense in order to take advantage of the maximum out of this content format.

Allow syndication. Not restrict it.

Let someone else take your RSS feed and do things with it. encourage them to do this. Have them use it to republish your news (among others) on their home page. Help them to achieve this. Write and explain with short stories or simple tutorials how easy it is to search, filter and aggregate content from various RSS feeds and create dedicated niche news channels on most any topic you can think of. Explain openly, if you create such a dedicated newschannels they can so easily published as news site, which is able to support contextual ads (Google AdSense) from day one. Very sustainable, if not quite profitable. See, for example at work by Waypath with their Blender experiment and other useful and complementary uses of RSS, can be economically profitable. "

And another great tips from Robin: "create so many RSS newsfeeds to your content as the subject/themes as you cover. Do not pack all your content in a generic RSS channel. "

2. What is really going to drive readers/customers to adopt RSS? Buyers of the products and services are most likely to adopt RSS?

Answered by Bill French, MyST technology partners

"I do not think someone wants to adopt RSS; rather they want timely information in a controlled and organized way so that it helps them do their jobs better, or manage their personal information diet. This is precisely why we adopted the (mostly) SMTP but none of us shall be deemed to be "adopt SMTP". E-mail programs and the benefits of a store-and-forward architecture with reasonable certainty of delivery drove us into the Kingdom of SMTP. And the driving force that seems to be the cause early adopters use RSS feeds has more to do with the amount information and news, we find ourselves awash in every day.

There is no doubt; all will eventually adopt RSS (or similar format), but we know it has happened when no one refers to it as RSS. ;-)"

3. How would you compare RSS and email as content delivery tools?

Answered by Tom Hespos, underscore marketing

"RSS is about consumer control. How many times have you thought of subscribing to an e-mail newsletter, but thought, "Nah, they will probably sell my e-mail address to spammers" and do not subscribe? With RSS, consumers can unsubscribe from feeds at any time, so that the risk of getting unwanted content or spam is almost zero.

I believe that consumers have been waiting for some time. The newly-added control will make them more likely to aggregate content from publishers they read regularly. As a marketing guy, I think it is appropriate to mention that the move to RSS is not without risks. Content publishers know that it is a bit cumbersome to unsubscribe from an e-mail newsletter, so that they have taken some chances with their e-mail newsletters that they could not take with RSS the stand-alone sponsor messages load up their HTML newsletters with animated ads, perhaps take a risk with some of the stories, they write.

When the button "Unsubscribe" is the right feed subscribers, publishers may not be a chance if they screw. With RSS, there is no tv-the message "Please return" to the people, as the subscription. If you lose some, you lose them until they decide to return. I am sure publishers should handle RSS with velvet gloves, until they get a sense of their subscribers would like and what will make them run for the door. "

10 Tips for bloggers

2011-06-04T15:30:00.000-07:00

Tips for creating a blog.
There is no hard and fast rules about how blog. Having said that, bloggers will probably increase their exposure by following a few simple blog guidelines. 1.) Bo on the topic.
Opinions are accepted in General, but the content of items in the blog should all relate to a general theme. Unless you have an uncanny knack for humor, humor or cynicism, the majority of readers interested in the content that relate to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers do not care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast. However, they may be interested in the fact that vinegar takes out stains and that toilet paper rolls big doughnut. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers.2.) Bo informative.
If you try to create the impression that you are aware of a specific or sector, be sure that you remain current news. If you endorse a product or express an opinion, you should check your facts, your reputation is at stake. If you offer an opinion, make sure that you qualify your post makes it clear that the content is intended as an editorial.3.) Old News is not news.
While blogging every day can be a drain, it is important that the information is current and accurate, writes an article or blurb about something that happened 6 months ago, will not be of interest to many. Tells your audience that Martha Stewart was convicted and will go to prison after her sentence is completed will make people question the value of your columns. 4.) adhere to a timetable.
Create a schedule and stick to it. To realize that blogging requires time and effort, not to create unrealistic expectations and be unable to deliver. An occasional lapse or holiday is perceived as a general rule, but readers returning to find obsolete, outdated content will find another blog with similar content. New blogs and RSS feeds will pop on a daily basis. If you have worked hard to develop an audience and a community-not you lose them due to lack of communication.5.) clarity and simplicity.
Keep your posts and blog entries clear and easy to understand. Remember, the Internet is global and expressions, idioms and acronyms don't always translate. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way. 6.) Keyword-rich.
If the goal of your blog is to increase your visibility, include related keywords in the title of the blog. Use the title as a headline to attract interest. Each item should have a title that will attract attention but still be relevant for the position. The title must be longer than 10 words -12.7.) Quantity of cases.
In order to attract the attention of search engines, you will develop the content and substance. A heading or a single sentence will not generate interest readers or help with Search engine ranking. Remember to archive old blog posts to develop a large portal of similar theme content. 8.) frequency.
If your blog content is updated frequently, search engines tend to spider pages at regular intervals. In theSpelling 9.) and proof-reading.
Only takes extra time and can save you from having to make embarrassing explanations. Remember that what you publish on the Internet can be found and archived. Carefully consider what you post before doing. 10.) RSS.
RSS will increase your blog's reach. It is important that you include your blog content in an RSS feed to increase readership and distribution. Most weblog audiences are small, but with time and regular updates audiences grow. Bloggers can never have more than a few hundred readers, but the people who return to regularly are generally interested in what you have to say.

Others believe that the amount of chicklets just add confusion and choose single relevant RSS graphics.4. Press

RSS vs Email

2011-06-02T22:25:00.000-07:00

Define relations between Blogs, E-zines, RSS and email
Copyright 2005 Rok Hrastnik
Although RSS and blogs are slowly reaching mainstream, they are still missuderstood by most marketers in relation to gamers and in relation to their relatives, email and e-zines. How these four really relate and what this means for your internet marketing strategy?The most common missconception is compare blogs and email, with many bloggers actually argue blogs as a replacement for email. The truth is that there's no comparison at all, like comparing apples and oranges. The second missconception is believing that RSS and blogs somehow strongly connected, or even that RSS is good only to provide blog content. The result of this, on the one hand, marketers who don't see RSS as a full-powered communicational channel and bloggers on the other side that refuses to see email as a viable content delivery vehicle. Easy s record just RSS and e-mail content delivery channels; the tools that make it possible to deliver our content to end users and RSS, to other sites. Blogs and e-zines are two different internet content media formats, differences in how/what the content is delivered and presented through them Explained in even simper. conditions: Blogs and e-zines or newsletters are "what"---what you publish online ... in the content page. RSS and email is "how"---how to get the content or information to the reader ... the output page. RSS/email and blogs/e-zines can not be compared directly. Blog content and e-zine content can both be delivered via RSS and email, and there is no direct business/logical relationship between, for example, blogs and RSS. To say that "blogs have some attributes and features, e-mail is missing" actually compare the two entirely different things (an internet media content format, with a content delivery channel), which are not directly related. What makes sense, for example, comparison, e-zines and blogs ... Blogs are "personal" conversations, opinions and news, delivered in a linear structure, usually written in a more personal style, and is restricted to a limited number of content types. E-zines on the one hand, more similar to magazines and newspapers, transporting content presented in a complex non-linear content, structure, and have the ability to make many different content types that do not mix well together if delivered through a linear content structure. A typical e-zine may include:--> an editorial;
--> a leading article, represents the predominant topic is a specific e-zine is issued;
--> support articles, clearly structured to demonstrate the secondary to the main article;
--> links to "best of" blog posts in the specified time frame;
--> links to the most relevant forum topics and posts;
--> a news section;
--> a featured client case study;
--> different ads (banner ads, textual ads, advertorials, etc.);
--> Featured consultant;
-a Q&A-> section;
--> a featured white paper;
-->, etc. Delivers all of this content requires a complex content structure and a strong and experienced editor. Format blog simply does not provide the level of structure necessary to effectively present a complex content mix. But it is not to say that blogs are in no way inferior to e-zines, they are just different. Companies need both, and they need to deliver both via RSS and email. It is worrying, however, is that some apparently believe, e-zines and e-mail is "backward". It is a dangerous line of trøde, that come close to shooting yourself in the foot. Personal preferences against content delivery channels and internet content media formats have no place in business. This is what our audiences and how they want it. Our objective must be to meet so many "our people" as possible, the implementation of all the tools and technologies necessary to achieve this goal. Let our personal preferences get in the way is dangerous at best. And even if 90% of our customers/prospects/partners (etc.) prefer RSS email to receive our content, it will still be good business practice to provide.

RSS and email; Work together

2011-06-01T23:28:00.000-07:00

RSS and email: how they can work together?

For most marketers online e-mail is still the key marketing and communicational tool, with its use ranging from e-zine publishing, direct sales messages, loyalty campaigns to internal communications between team members.

But it takes email due to spam filters and spam itself becomes more difficult, while anti-spam law puts even legitimate email marketers risk.

With 100% content delivery ratio is RSS a substitute for e-mail?

At least right now, certainly not. However, it has become the most important addition to the delivery of mail. While many internet users have begun to ignore the e-mail subscriptions and only subscribe to the RSS content, are majority has begun to explore the world of RSS.

Time to get started with RSS is as such now if you want to get an upper hand over your competition before RSS when mainstream and at the same time test RSS marketing approaches that work for you. Using RSS as an additional content delivery channel, since e-mail, one of the places to get started. But if you want to use RSS in conjunction with e-mail, you must first understand some basic relationships between these two tools and e-zines and blogs.

(A)) UNDERSTANDING RELATIONS BETWEEN RSS, EMAIL, E-ZINES AND BLOGS

How these four really relate and what this means for your internet marketing strategy?

The most common miss-conception is to compare blogs and email, with many bloggers actually argue blogs as a replacement for email. The truth is that there's no comparison at all, like comparing apples and oranges.

The second miss-conception is to think that RSS and blogs somehow strongly connected, or even that RSS is good only to provide blog content. The result of this, on the one hand, marketers who don't see RSS as a full-powered communicational channel and bloggers on the other side that refuses to see email as a viable content delivery vehicle.

Easily specify the entry directly in s the simplest possible terms. Blogs and e-zines or newsletters are "what"---what you publish online ... in the content page.

RSS and email is "how"---how to get the content or information to the reader ... the output page. RSS/email and blogs/e-zines can not be compared directly.

Blog content and e-zine content can both be delivered via RSS and email, and there is no direct business/logical relationship between, for example, blogs and RSS.

What makes sense, for example, comparison, e-zines and blogs. Blogs are "personal" conversations, opinions and news, delivered in a linear structure, usually written in a more personal style, and is restricted to a limited number of content types.

E-zines on the one hand, more similar to magazines and newspapers, transporting content presented in a complex non-linear content, structure, and have the ability to make many different content types that do not mix well together if delivered through a linear content structure. A typical e-zine can for example contain an editorial; a leading article that represents the predominant topic is a specific e-zine is issued; support articles, clearly structured to demonstrate the secondary to the main article; links to the most relevant forum topics and posts; a news section; various ads (banner ads, textual ads, advertorials, etc.); a Q&A section; a featured white paper; and so on.

Delivers all of this content requires a complex content structure and a strong and experienced editor. Format blog simply does not provide the level of structure necessary to effectively present a complex content mix.

B) EMBED RSS IN YOUR E-MAIL MARKETING STRATEGY

If you can understand these fundamental connections, you can actually understand how much you can integrate RSS in your e-mail marketing strategy as a supplement to e-mail as a tool for delivery.

For now, here are some of the most fundamental generic opportunities in using RSS with email:

1. Use RSS to announce each new issue of your order e-mail e-zine which you make available in full on your website.

2. Give a separate RSS feed articles you publish in your e-mail e-zine and get them to your subscribers as soon as the articles become available, without waiting to receive them in an e-mail newsletter. The same goes for your news section if you have one.

3. If you publish a lot of content in a variety of topic categories in your e-zine, give a separate RSS feed for each of these topics. See another on the elements mentioned above, a typical e-zine may include. Each of these elements can actually be a standalone RSS feed.

4. If you re doing e-mail auto-reply marketing, give the same autoresponders as RSS feeds, allows visitors to subscribe to either e-mail or RSS delivery channels receive the very same content.

5. If you have your own affiliate program, you must make sure that your affiliates can also subscribe to their affiliate messages via RSS-feed, not just email. Basically all they will do to duplicate the same content you re send via e-mail in an RSS feed.

6. If you re send special messages or updates to your existing customers via email, create a special limited access RSS feed to provide the same set of updates via RSS.

These should be enough to get you started thinking in the right direction.

Blogger security

2011-05-31T22:46:00.000-07:00

I have heard many a blogger, to say that blogging fills a need. Blogging gives a humanizing effect on news and journaling, it also opens a window to personal life. Details shared in blogs only once was available for a selected group of friends, and while blogging has become the common place, it has risks, which must not be ignored. Cyberstalking is a new phenomenon that allows anonymous online STALKERS to prowl the victims. Online bloggers traditionally contains personal information about their lives. As a result, many women are this blog become victims. Most people are worried about children on the Internet and set up strict posting guidelines for children, young people and teenagers, but some adults heed warnings and often do not believe that they also can be targeted. Females, in particular, must be careful when circumnavigating the blogosphere. If you are a blogger or contemplating an online diary, consider these tips to protect your identity: does not have an online profile.
Most blogging services allow bloggers to create an online profile. While it may be fun to post information about likes and dislikes, it is best to refrain from posting any personal information. Personal information does often inadvertently insight physical location or habits. The aggregated information of a personal profile can also help someone interested in pursuing a single person. Post anonymously.
Manage your blog anonymously or adopt an alias for all online posting. This will protect you in the event that you draw unwanted attention. Avoid personal or identifying information.
Avoid any personal or identifying information, posting in your blog. Do not Post in advance of the bins that you want to be or areas that you live near. No images.
Not to post a picture. Photographs can invite problems or unwanted attention. Avoid inappropriate dialogue.
Be careful not to engage in dialogue, which could be interpreted in a way that it was not the intention. Sometimes humorous threads can get out of hand. If the dialogue reduces to an area, creepy, withdraw from the dialogue and refrain from further posting. Also when decisions about individuals online, consider their previous posting behavior and try to consider their real intentions. Lurkers.
Always remember, just because you do not have a dialogue with someone does not mean that they do not read everything you type. Many people simply lurk on the line and engage not in the comment posting, but read what is written. Your audience could be much greater than you realize. Timeless.
Content on the Internet is timeless, and remember that when you remove content, it can be archived or syndicated. If you do not want something to read, not Post it to the Internet. High schools, colleges and employers, search on the Internet to deduce a individuals history. Dirty details about a late night does not help landing a coveted job. The Internet is a haven for all types of predators. Always remember, just because someone says something is true does not mean that it is. Predators adopt personas of who they think they should be. Just as we give guidance to young children, adults should be cautious and take precautions when posting online, as well as. While blogging can be a great outlet and channel, and in someway immortalizing thoughts, it is important that safety is considered and that good blogging practice is followed at all times.

Create RSS | Make RSS Feeds

2011-05-31T12:51:00.000-07:00

RSS is a standard for syndicating content on the Internet. RSS feeds are used in many different ways to distribute all types of content over the Internet. Benefits for individuals to subscribe to RSS feeds has resulted in a rapid growth and adoption rate. Software and tools have made RSS feed creation and management easy, even for non-technical persons who also have gas-driven growth of RSS feeds.
How to create RSS It is no longer necessary to manually create an RSS feed. There are a number of WYSIWYG software programs available, which simplifies the creation of an RSS feed. This means that webmasters really don't need to understand the code and details about the RSS specification to create an RSS feed. Such a product is FeedForAll, where you can easily create, edit and publish RSS feeds. Both Mac and Windows versions are available at http://www.feedforall.com.
Feeds can also be manually designed from scratch as well as, and there is a simple tutorial that will walk you through the process at http://www.make-rss-feeds.com/making-an-rss-feed.htm.
And if you have existing content in a database that you want to include in an RSS feed, you can use a PHP script which SQL2RSS to extract data from the database and fill out an RSS feed.
All these things will simplify the process and contribute to the creation of an RSS feed. Transfer When RSS feed is created, it must be transferred to the server home page, as is commonly done using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software. If you use RSS feed creation software, it will have a built-in FTP client for this purpose. Otherwise, you can use a different FTP client to upload RSS feeds to the website. Validate When you have built a feed, it should be validated. If you use software (such as FeedForAll), it may have a built-in validator to help you assure that the feed is correct and correct. If you build the feed by hand, must ensure that you are using a sort of validator to ensure feed formed correctly. A feed that contains invalid syntax will not be readable by many of the RSS readers so that validation is very important. RSS promotion After you have created, transmitted and validated an RSS feed, you need to your website visitors should know that it is available. There are a number of ways to promote your RSS feed. The more made an effort to promote the feed more quickly becomes popular. In order to send a signal to your website visitors, as an RSS feed is available as content related to the home page, includes most webmasters colorful graphics on your Web site. It has become standard that nearly all Web sites with RSS feeds available use colorful graphics such as flags to indicate that RSS feeds are available for specific content. The Flag was originally standardized as light orange rectangles but as the popularity has grown, webmasters have bent the rules a little and have been more creative with their flag, and graphics. Use colorful graphics that work within your website design to indicate that you have an RSS feed available.
In addition, many RSS feed readers and aggregators to automatically detect the presence of an RSS feed on your site if you are adding a little bit of code in the header field in an HTML page ....
[link rel = "alternate" type = "application/rss + xml" title = "rss" href = "http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml"]
Make sure to replace http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml "" with the actual URL to the RSS feed and replace the "[" and "]"<" less-than="" and="" "="">"in square brackets with" greater-than symbols.
In order to increase the exposure of an RSS feed, it should also be submitted to the RSS search engines and directories. Just as you would send the URL of a Web site or a Web page to a search engine, you must send the link to the actual RSS feed located on your site to the various RSS directories. There is a long list of RSS directories at http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm. Ongoing RSS Feed-maintenance Feed maintenance is a very important aspect to the RSS feeds. You want to continuously add to your RSS feed for giving subscribers a new and changing content and information. Otherwise, they lose interest and find information elsewhere. As a rapidly growing number of content sources, new and old, add RSS as a key distribution channel, and as more and more people use RSS news readers and aggregators to keep themselves informed, the ability to maintain high exposure and visibility gradually switched from complete attention on major search engines and content optimization techniques to a growing awareness of RSS feed directories and search Tools.

Contrary to popular opinion, RSS is not only good for delivering content from your blog, although blogs what made RSS so popular.RSS can actually be used to deliver a wide range of content types and content needs.

If you just want to give you an impression of the power of RSS, here are some examples of content you can publish with it--> MarketingVOX is using RSS to deliver internet marketing news to their readers, as it becomes available. Rather than waiting to receive all the news in a single e-mail newsletter, RSS users get them as soon as they are ready.--> Amazon.com uses RSS to announce their Bestsellers and help their users keep track of releases they are most interested in.--> some managers already communicate with their affiliates using RSS affiliate. You can of course use it to communicate with any other segment, as your employees or team members, and even your business owners. --> FindSavings.com uses RSS to deliver savings coupons and related information.--> Lockergnome uses RSS to provide visitors with the latest downloads and the appropriate software.

Create RSS Feeds

2011-05-30T11:19:00.000-07:00

Daily more and more websites, news services and blogs are adding RSS content. RSS is a method of syndicating content.The concept of aggregating content in a central location or warehouse is very appealing. Consumers have been tired of push technology, RSS gives users the flexibility to regain control of their content. RSS feed creators provide content without forcing it on to consumers. In fact with RSS consumers are able to choose the content they want to view.

How to make a RSS Feed
RSS feeds contain what are referred to as "elements". Elements are normally connected in some way and contain a common theme or other similarity.

If you want to save themselves headaches of hand-code consider an RSS feed to use FeedForAll, application user friendly software that formats the XML for you.

Contains eight items at the time of writing the following feed materials http://www.notepage.net/feed.xml. The items are all SMS and paging related news articles which would probably be beneficial to anyone interested in the wireless market.

Each element contains:

Title and description must be written to describe the content and the link must refer to the Web page that contains the actual content.

Just as html uses XML file open and close tags to designate a title, description and link. The codes are enclosed in <>in square brackets, like standard HTML and close the code contains a forward slash/.

The following is an element in an XML file looks like:

The title goes here
Description goes here
http://www.linkgoeshere.com

As I mentioned earlier, an RSS feeds contains elements and, like the above marks an open and close tag is used to distinguish between elements.

The title goes here
Description goes here
http://www.linkgoeshere.com

Another title goes here
Another description goes here
http://www.anotherlinkgoeshere.com

Now an RSS feed is a range of topics, to link these items together to create what is called a "channel".

Channel appears at the top of the file and tell people how items relate to each other. Like the elements user channels title, description, and link tags to describe its contents. The code open channel event occurs before the first element and exits mark occurs after the last element.

Channel title goes here
Explanation of how the elements are related goes here
http://www.directoryoflinksgohere

The title goes here
Description goes here
http://www.linkgoeshere.com

Another title goes here
Another description goes here
http://www.anotherlinkgoeshere.com

Finally, you identify the file by specifying it is an XML file by inserting the xml and rss define codes at the beginning and end.

Channel title goes here
Explanation of how the elements are related goes here
http://www.directoryoflinksgohere

The title goes here
Description goes here
http://www.linkgoeshere.com

Another title goes here
Another description goes here
http://www.anotherlinkgoeshere.com

When you save the file, you must save it as an XML file.

Warning
If you create the file using Dreamweaver or a similar tool that it does not deprive becareful out is marks it feels redundant. In order to be a RSS-feed your file should be on that marks that were discussed above, and the file will not be valid, if the codes are dressed like minimum.

I found a cool small, freely distributable program that helped in the creation of the xml file is called first object editor http://www.firstobject.com/

Validation
As my math teacher use to say, check your work! When your file is finished and uploaded einter for animal feed validator by http://feedvalidator.org

Syndication/submission
If you've made it this far you are in good shape, it is time to "publish" your content! Submit your RSS feed (the XML file you created) to the Web sites, just as you would send a Web page. Some of the more popular Web sites that accept RSS files can be found under "Post rss Feed"

Everything RSS

2011-05-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

What are RSS Feeds?
RSS Feeds
RSS-also known as rich site summary or real simply syndication arrived on the scene of a number of years ago, but was only recently embraced by webmasters as a means to effectively syndicate content. RSS Feeds provide webmasters and content providers an avenue to provide concise summaries to prospective readers. Thousands of commercial Web sites and blogs now publish content Summaries in an RSS feed. Each item in the feed typically contains a heading; Article summary and link back to the online article.Advantage to Webmaster
Because the Internet has become more crowded webmasters have strive to deliver fresh and updated content for their website visitors. Many webmasters have discovered they can easily take advantage of the information contained in RSS feeds to provide fresh Web content. RSS feeds are composed in XML, which is a very simple markup language. Similar to HTML, XML uses tags to identify fields. Webmasters can easily parse the RSS feed and dynamically create Web pages that contain headlines and summaries. Feeds are updated on an ongoing basis, providing a steady stream of automatically generated fresh content. RSS allows webmasters to:
1.) Delivers fresh and relevant content on their website, which encourages users to return. 2.) constantly changing content means that search engine spiders will visit more often. 3.) automate content delivery.Advantages of RSS feeds are not limited to webmasters, surfers also benefit technology and.Advantage for Web surfers
The beauty of RSS is that readers can quickly scan headlines (titles) and read articles of interest. Because information is narrow and in a single location users can generally review more information in a shorter time frame. Additional information is only a click away. Best of all readers choose they want to see, there is no spam with RSS feeds. If you are not completely delighted with content is displayed in a feed, simply remove it from your news reader. Technology is a pull technology rather than push technology, which means that the content is not forced consumers who pulls the content they want to see.

RSS makes it possible for users to:
1.) can easily find information.

2.) Read condensced information or ' soundbytes ' with clearly marked and dated topic material.3.) Classification and categorize information in an easy to navigate manner.4.) to maximize their time without having to deal with spam. RSS feeds can be viewed in a news aggregator or a card reader, which is constantly updated and shows the unread feeds. I found the behavior of the news readers must correspond to a simple e-mail client. Consumers generally enter the URL of any RSS feeds that are of interest to them. items with a common theme can be separated into related groups.I recommend FeedDemon http://www.feeddemon.com by BradSoft as a news reader. FeedDemon is extremely easy to use and allows for quick scanning and indexing of topics. FeedDemon allows users to quickly scan, sort and scroll through headline and article summaries, while you view the actual content in a split screen web browser.Finding topic specific relevant Feeds
In order to find feeds with niche information, users can search Feedster. Feedster http://www.feedster.com is a rapidly growing news search engine, indexing the contents of RSS feeds. Searching for topic specific feeds can be implemented and feeds can be retrieved for syndication. Advantage for content developer
While the benefits users and webmasters are ready distribution opportunities available to content developers must not be forgotten. The information contained in the RSS feed can be easily published, increase content distribution and reach. RSS allows content developers to:
1.) increase exposure in niche markets.2.) Communicate with the user bases and reach potential customers through an alternate communication method.3.) disseminate relevant information. 4.) defines itself as an expert industry.5.) automate content delivery. RSS has effectively standardized format for content delivery and have effectively defined the accepted standard for content distribution and syndication. RSS will likely rival email as a means of content distribution in another year. The shear simplicity makes the technology very appealing.Potential, while albeit difficult to measure, distribution is still attractive to all parties to make the likelihood that RSS popularity will only continue to increase.

Tips to optimize Video Podcasts

2011-05-29T20:58:00.000-07:00

Optimize Video Podcasts
It doesn't matter what you call them: vodcasts, vidcasts, video casting, or video podcasting ... There are a couple of background actions you can take in order to attract more attention to your video productions. Like websites, it doesn't matter how amazing the content is if interested people could not find it.
Use the following proposal to increase the exposure your videos receive ...
1. use keywords Video file name Insert keywords in the video file name. When determining which keywords to use, not just rely on intuition; research, just as you would do for a website to see what people are searching on relevant conditions.
2. Create Video Feedcreate an RSS feed of all videos in a collection. Each feed item should contain a second video in the chassis. Optimize feed by using related keywords. Extra help, there is a Video casting Feed creation Tutorial available at http://www.feedforall.com/videocasting-tutorial.htm.
3. increase exposurehost your videos on YouTube and embed the video in your home page, which will increase the number of video on YouTube. More popular a video appears to be, it will receive more exposure.
4. Video name and description description name fields and video use keywords that relate to the content of the video. Create a compelling yet relevant title and description, will encourage people to click through.
5. Google Video Sitemap create a video sitemap to search engines. Information about what is included in such sitemaps, granted Google specifications in their Google Webmaster central Blog at http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/12/introducing-video-sitemaps.html. 6. Meta Data include metadata in the video file. Newer video search engines are often dependent on metadata to relevant results. Many video editing products will allow you to edit and customize the metadata associated with the video file, and you must use this in the same way you would use meta data to a Web page.
7. optimize the Startup page optimize landing page on your site, embedding the video in a Web page on your site and then use standard SEO techniques to optimize Web page for search engines. Use keywords that relate to the video on the page containing the video.
8. Printoutsprovide a text transcript of the video, both on the destination page and in RSS feed for the video.
9. Embed URL in the Videomark video with your logo in the original video splash screen, and include your website address at the bottom of the video to increase your brand exposure.
10. Leave them wanting morethe video should be a teaser and leaves the audience wanting more. Engage the audience, but to try to encourage the Viewer to visit the Web site or view other videos to learn more.
11. submit YouTube Feed YouTube creates an RSS feed for each user account that is created. In addition to manually create an RSS feed, you can also use the YouTube feed to promote your videos. Formatting information for the YouTube video feeds can be found at http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/username/uploads (replace "username" in the URL with your own YouTube account username).
12. Anchor text when a link to the video, use anchor text that contains keywords that relate to the video.
13. Video Submission sending video to all video sites, and video podcast sites. Here are a few of the resource sites to get you started ...

Podcast and Video submissions-http://www.podcasting-tools.com/submit-podcasts.htm
140 places to submit your Video list-http://www.stephanmiller.com/my-link-lists/140-place-to-submit-your-video-list/

14. Tag Video Tag video on video networks with relevant keywords, makes it easier for people to find when they search for these keywords.
15. Track views track and review the number of views, a video receiver. If you discover that a significant number of viewers are abandoning the video before completion, the chances are good that the video is too long and might benefit from trimming.
16. social bookmarkinguse social bookmarking to draw further attention to videos. This will also help with the number of inbound links, which in turn will help to improve search engine ranking.
Videørne is the latest marketing channel. In order to make the most of it, optimize the video and increase exposure it receives.

Marketers really need RSS?

2011-05-29T09:18:00.000-07:00

Marketers really need RSS?
Copyright 2005 Rok Hrastnik the most recent study, Forrester Research, who claims that only 2% of online households in North America use RSS, took the internet marketing world by storm. Does this data really that marketers can still afford to ignore this channel?Soon after the Forrrester study became public, I received a press enquiery asking whether marketers should be interested in RSS now that so few online adults use it. Is this the right questions? Let s take a look at 1 the larger picture. FORRESTER STUDY validity The Forrester study is just one of these available and cannot be regarded as the only relevant study, even though it was performed on a sample of 68,000 households. Jupiter Research estimates RSS penetration at 12% of the u.s. online population, while the latest report from PEW shows that 9% of the u.s. online population has a good idea of RSS is. An October 2004 PEW study actually estimated RSS penetration at 5%.It is also important to understand that Forrester data does not include those who themselves might not be aware they are using RSS, especially through services such as My Yahoo., which is actually the most popular RSS reader at the same time, says Forrester. vice President Henry Harteveldt also that RSS is critical for any businesswho wants to reach out to people under the age of 30. 2. future growth of RSSregardless of the numbers we bet on the future growth of RSS is without a doubt. Recently, Microsoft announced full RSS support in the next version of their Internet Explorer browser and full RSS integration in the next version of their operating system, Windows Vista. When RSS becomes easily accessible to most internet users out-of-box and becomes as wide spread as bookmarks, its adoption will grow at an incredible speed. Microsoft has now ensured that this will actually happen.It is therefore time for marketers not only been interested in RSS but also master it is now. Those who test and discover the best possible ways of using RSS for marketing will be ahead of their competition, when everyone starts using RSS. In addition, since RSS implementation can actually be any free, there s no reason not to begin to give your content in RSS feeds now. 3. GOOGLE shows the way Microsoft and Yahoo! Apure t the only major players to show support for RSS. Google recently launched RSS advertising as part of their Google AdSense program, giving publishers reason to start their own RSS feeds to generate direct revenues. Them depends on the Google AdSense for part or all of their online revenues actually need to deliver RSS feeds or stand to lose some of the revenue due to their visitors switching to sites and feeds from their competitors.Face it, today many users begin already to request publishers provide them with the RSS to subscribe to their content.

Steps to create and promote RSS Feeds

2011-05-28T16:49:00.000-07:00

RSS or Really Simple Syndication is as it is commonly known, a technology that gives webmasters the ability to easily distribute and publish syndicated content on the Internet. It looks as if all internet businesses now have RSS feeds available; at least do your competitors. You have finally made the decision, you must have a. Where do you start?Step in creating an RSS feed

1. Build a Feed)

There are a number of desktop and Web applications available that make feed creation easy. I urge everyone who creates a feed using a. Although not overly complicated and can hand-coding an RSS feed will be a little confusing and time consuming. Most desktop applications for building a feed includes a wizard and contact-sensitive help, simplifying the process of creating a feed. After a few simple steps in a wizard generally will produce an RSS feed in just a few minutes.

Publishers can control what information is syndicated in RSS feed, so that end it is the Publisher's decision on whether or not to include teaser copy or full articles. Consider what you are trying to accomplish and who your target audience is when building of the diet.Software to build a feed-http://www.feedforall.com
Tutorial for creating feed by hand usingXML-http://www.make-rss-feeds.com 2.) Transfer the Feedon your Server when you have built an RSS feed, you must transfer the feed to your server. This can be done by using a standard FTP client (if it is not built into the software, feed creation). The diet is usually located at the domain's root directory like this: http://www.mydomain.com/nameoffeed.xml, but as long as you know where it is it doesn't matter, really.3.) displays the feed on your site uses a graphic in some varieties to indicate to site visitors that an RSS feed containing content related to the home page is available, include a colorful graphic on the site. It has become a standard that nearly all websites that have RSS feeds available use colorful graphics such as flags as indicators which RSS feeds are available for specific content. Flags were initially bright orange rectangles but as the popularity has grown, webmasters have bent the rules a little. Note Page has done a free online RSS graphic tool available, allowing users to quickly customize buttons by selecting the text on the button and button color scheme. When the color and text is specified, the program creates a custom graphics immediately. Webmasters can easily match the format for the RSS button to a Web site theme. Graphics experience is not required. Simply select alternative colors and insert text to personalize RSS feed graphics. The RSS graphics tool can be used by clicking the following URL http://www.feedforall.com/public/rss-graphic-tool.htm or choose ready made graphics fom: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-graphics.htm. 4.) Include information in the HTML Web page so RSS readers Auto-Detect your Feedafter publishing an RSS feed it is important that visitors know that the feed is available. News readers automatically detect RSS on a website, if you add a little bit of code in the header field in aHTML page. Make sure to replace http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml with the URL to the RSS feed. 5.) can display the feed content on a sitecontent in an RSS feed can be added to a Web site, gives visitors an alternative method to display the contents. The information also helps increase the search engine interest. Display the feed as HTML can be achieved. Delivers fresh content on a regular basis will encourage site visitors return.

Tutorial for displaying Feeds-http://www.small-business-software.net/display-rss.htm

6.) Submit feed to RSS directories and search enginesas a rapidly growing number of content sources, new and old, migrate or add RSS as a key distribution channel, and as more people use RSS news readers and aggregators to keep themselves informed, the ability to maintain high exposure and visibility is shifting gradually from complete attention on major search engines and content optimization techniques to a growing awareness about RSS feed directories and search tools.
Increase the exposure of an RSS feed it should be submitted to the RSS search engines and directories. This can be done manually. Just as you would send the URL of a Web site or a Web page to a search engine, you must send the link to the actual feed located on your site to RSS directories. There is a long list of RSS directories at http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm.

Shared RSS-RSS Syndication

2011-05-28T06:03:00.000-07:00

RSS Syndication
RSS Syndication or RSS Newsfeeds (RSS Feeds for short) refer to the same. There are two parts in the process, the publisher and the consumer. Publisher produces a small text file in a special format that displays the title and address of an article or resource published on the World Wide Web. The consumer uses a program, usually called an aggregator to read and display the contents of this simple text file with links to the Web page. Or the consumer can visit a Web site that contains a news reader program, and view the results as a Web page. Members of Yahoo.com, for example, can set their personal My Yahoo pages to show the contents of any RSS feeds you select.It is all there is to it. Simple. Therefore, some say RSS stands for ' Really Simple Syndication. " Some confusion has arisen because an RSS feed can be used in several ways. Call it a newsfeed is the first error, since RSS is used for much more than news. The most common situation is for the RSS elements must have a short title, create a link to the original page referred to, and a brief description of the contents of this Web page. But other people also the complete contents of their resource directly in the RSS feed. So feed can contain a graphical image of an animated film, an entire post to a weblog (or blog), or the complete contents of a newsletter, rather than just a link back to these resources on a Web site. Other sites omit the description, and only list titles linked back to their home page. And some versions of RSS, you can omit the title, as long as you have a description.Talk about the ' versions ' of RSS, there is a source of even more confusion. RSS began with version 0.93, and was called the ' RDF Site Summary "--RDF refers to" Resource Description Framework, "method for marking different parts of the file. This early version was updated and modified through various editions, including 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, and they began to call RSS ' Really Simple Syndication. " Then someone came along with a different format, a little more complicated, and called it RSS version 1.0. Supporters of version 0.94 like not implied that 1.0 or otherwise was an advance on 0.94 when in reality it was a completely different format, so they came up with the version 2.0 which was an improved version of 0.94, but still, in contrast to 1.0. Rather than take sides in this quarrel, another came up with their own version and called the Atom, to distance themselves from RSS-battle. Another developed blogrolls using OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language). Most of these formats are loosely or strictly based on XML, overall mark-up scheme. None of this confusion method and purpose has helped spread this really useful tool. Most RSS aggregators can read any of these formats, so the situation is not as hopeless as it may seem, but many people still throw it all out, when they cannot find out exactly how it is supposed to work. At http://www.SharedRSS.com/we are using version 1.0, because it is approved by the W3C as being supportive ' Semantic Web '. Casual user, however, is really not important version. SharedRSS is a simple Web site that performs a very strong feature ... it brings the benefits of RSS syndication to all those who publish home pages, but adding new material all too rarely justify having their own RSS feed. RSS Syndication was designed to help people find information about new content on the Internet long before the search engines come to find it makes it easy for people to find out about new content that interests themwithout having to return to the search engines and Wade through all the material you have seen before. For sites with content changes often, it has worked well for them to create their own RSS feed and update it as new content is added to their website. But what about all the websites that add only an occasional new article or story to their site, or publish a newsletter once per month? Or those who just can't take time to figure the details formatting an RSS feed? An RSS feed, only updated once every few months is of negligible value; very few people want to add it to their search list in their aggregator. Shared RSS solves this problem by mixing together articles from various sites covers the same topic, and allow them to announce the availability of their new material in the feed is shared with other publish on the same subject. This makes the feeds more useful for consumers so that they are more inclined to add the link to their aggregator. It is of benefit to the Publisher of make more people aware of their material, as soon as it is put online. ________________________________________________

RSS opportunities

2011-05-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

5 New Internet marketing opportunities through RSS
Copyright 2005 Rok Hrastnik when it comes to new internet marketing opportunities for your business, RSS just might be the answer you were looking for. Here are just some of the new opportunities it can provide you with

1. PODCASTING and VIDEO CASTING

Podcasting (delivering internet audio content) and Video casting (delivering internet video content), you can communicate via rich media messages, not only to make your content more attractive and powerful, but also allows for a more personal conversation with your audience.

Until know, the Internet was predominantly a textual channel. Add audio and video to the mix, delivering both via RSS, goes beyond the basic facilities by traditional internet content delivery channels. Rich media personalizes the internet experience and gives your company a distinguishable face, but at the same time gives you a media platform to convey your message, so it is easier to understand, see and feel. Think ...--> delivers press releases in audio or video
--> Send your customers a personal video message from CEO
--> Makes audio interviews to extend your reach and give more content for your visitors
--> Deliver video demonstrations of your products
--> Using video and audio to demonstrate how your customers and readers can easily resolve various problems, you are helping them with
--> Delivers important messages to your readers, customers and business partners via a more personal audio experience instead of using impersonal e-mail communications
-->, Etc. .. In addition, the Foundation Podcasting and Video casting are for new business models, allows you to expand your product base to include these formats with higher perceived value. Customer training and support should be improved, because you can now demonstrate key product usage points via online video customer support content in a format that can easily demonstrate everything you need to convey to your customers. 2. HIGH FREQUENCY content updates high frequency content updates, even on a daily or hourly basis, is now finally possible with RSS. No more need to keep on your important messages, news and other content for a week or a month to include it in your e-zine---with RSS you can update your content as often as you want/need and your subscribers not given. 3. APPCASTING Appcasting goes one step further, allowing you to deliver critical software updates and patches to your existing clients, without having to visit the site each week to see if the much-needed update is already available or not. 4. product news, RELEASES and updatesproduct news, releases, and updates are now finally possible in an easy-to-consume way. Using RSS, you can give your customers or prospects with simple tools to create their own product feeds, through which they receive immediate notification when new products that exactly matches their interests are available. As soon as your product portfolio changes, it makes the content in the RSS feeds, your customers are subscribed to. Just think of the following possibilities ...--> tool search for one of the most often used in larger Web-shops, give your visitors an easy way to find the products they are interested. But the same search results can be delivered via RSS as well as. Imagine your customer to search for one of your product categories, and then will also receive a link to the RSS feed for these very same search results, find out immediately a new product matching his terms is released or available for order.
--> This works for complex searches. If your customers are in the habit in order to search for specific product categories, but only in a specific price range, you can deliver these very same results to them via RSS, but with a small twist as soon as a new product to fit their conditions, including the desired price is launched, they will be notified about it via RSS instantly. No reason to visit your site again to make the time-consuming search; the release comes directly to you.
-->, Of course, the same procedure, as many are already using for e-mail alerts can be used for RSS. Give visitors in a simple form with the help of which they enter their criteria, and then give them access to an RSS feed bringing them product updates based exactly on their criteria. Why not just use email? Because no one really wants more e-mail messages in their inboxes, and nobody wants to give their personal information, while RSS is anonymous, and does not require an e-mail address and read when the customer decides he has time.5. Personalized CONTENT SERVICESpersonalized/customized database listings are quite similar to product updates, but relates to any form of complex information, you give your visitors, such as--> Job listings
--> Dating
--> Real estate
--> Etc. Using RSS, your visitors can decide exactly what kind of content (in this case, a single content item could be a new job list) they are looking for and then have the content delivered directly to them via their own customized RSS feed. And yet, all these are just some examples of what you can do with RSS. The possibilities for new content delivery and development of business models are quite endless.For example, some companies already offer their visitors the opportunity to track their FedEx, UPS, and other packages via RSS feeds. Even create other new services that make it possible to receive important information from an RSS feed to your mobile phone via SMS (like getting an SMS message to a new job matches your criteria is available). Again makes other sites it is possible to keep track of when you must return your library material, and even when your holds are ready and when they are about to expire, all of this using RSS. All of these are new business opportunities made possible with RSS, and each of them in a way improves lives of end-users, without placing them in a larger burden (multiple messages).

What is Creative Commons?

2011-05-27T10:33:00.000-07:00

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that allows artists, authors, publishers and musicians the option of creating and defining a flexible copyright for their creative works. Creative Commons was officially launched in 2001 by a group of intellectual property experts, lawyers and web publishers. Creative Commons licenses cover art, music and writing, but is not designed for software.A Creative Commons license allows creators to place conditions on their copyright. Traditionally, restrict the copyright rights of others from modifying or distributing copywritten works. Creative Commons licenses offer flexibility by allowing creator (copyright holder) the opportunity to choose what limitations they want place with regard to specific copywritten works.How Creative Commons works
Creators login to the Creative Commons system and select what restrictions, attributes, or changes they wish to assign to their creative works. The Web site for Creative Commons will then prepare a Creative Commons license to the creative works expressed in three ways. Will provide Creative Commons: the commons deed clearly establishes licensing rights in plain English, legal code for the operating licence and a digital license code. Digital code can be embedded in websites and search engines. Yahoo has a new Creative Commons Search which identifies works and recognizes any licensing conditions. Searches can be conducted for different types of licenses. The Web site for Creative Commons also offers the icon with a home page which clearly marks the creative work as some rights reserved or no rights reserved. There are a number of licensing options for the copyright holder. Assign a Creative Commons license does not mean that the rightholder provide rights to a piece of art, it simply means some conditions could be placed on the use of creative works.Examples of creative common license options
A Creative Commons license enables copyright holders to grant some of their rights to the public while retaining other rights. NonCommercial -a non-commercial license can others copy, distribute, perform creative works and derivative works, but only for Noncommercial purposes (anyone using the creative works do not profit from it).ShareAlike -A ShareAlike license allows others to distribute derivative works under an identical to that held by the original copyright holder license. noderivative Works -A NoDerivative Works clause allows others to copy, distribute, display, and perform the exact copywritten works and no derivative works can be created. Attribution -an Attribution license means creative works can be copied, distributed, displayed, or performed and derivative works can be created, provided that appropriate credit to the original copyright holder has been given.Many artists believe that a Creative Commons license increases their exposure but still allow them to retain their rights to the creative works, a balance between ownership, credit and use. In the end, giving a Creative Commons license holders to grant some of their rights to the public while retaining others; with Creative Commons copyright holder retains the flexibility to manage the rights to their creative works.

Get your Feed listed within hours at Yahoo in 5 simple steps

2011-05-26T14:22:00.000-07:00

Let us be honest. There are three types of people in the world. * Yahoos * Googlers * people are neither or both. I have been lurking in forums, and I realized something-they seem to be very Ranger than me. But then, almost all. I have been a Google gal for some time. There I said it.. and why not? Google has been good to me. Yahoo has finally convinced me that they are at a minimum, the top bid for the title of heavyweight search engine champion of the world. I now take them very seriously for many reasons. (I don't want to bore you with all of them here-but if you would like to be bored, see ongoing updates-: http://freetrafficdirectory.com/yes2yahoo-or if you are new to RSS and don't get how it can help your marketing, join our discussion-http://www.freetrafficdirectory.com/Forums.)

What really has the potential to make me into a type 2 or 3 is attention Yahoo pays to RSS. Like all I heard big message back in February of this year that Yahoo was to develop an RSS folder and had re-launched their Beta RSS headlines module of the "My Yahoo!". Still, I took my time hopping on the "marketing via RSS" bandwagon, even though I've had feeds on most of my sites since the end of 2002. When I finally began to use my feeds during some research, I ran across Yahoo's "add to my Yahoo!" button on many sites that also carry the orange "xml" insignia, and I must say, it shocks me how easy it seems to be to get Yahoo attention to your feed. Remote control functionality Yahoo tell them that they produce an RSS folder on this page: http://my.yahoo.com/s/publishers.html#find

The page goes to tell you to get your feed included is as simple as adding your feed to "My Yahoo" page. You can think, as I was, that this cannot be the same Yahoo we are talking about. If a search engine many secretly hoped would not be in the off chance that we could go back to Google on Yahoo days? (Don't look at me. I am not that much of a Google gal.) But yes, the same Yahoo Whose directory many found so difficult to get into the days of yore, displays your feed in their directory almost immediately.

Promote my study in blowing dust from my own Yahoo page, unused since 2003, scrolled to the bottom, and click the button "Select content". They will not try to hide it. In five steps, taking me less than a minute, my link was added. Under the first section of the settings for "My Front page" under "My Yahoo! Essentials", "RSS headlines (BETA) new!". I chose to (step one), and on the next page, all I had to do was type in my news feed, (step two) click Search (step four), and then when the page path settings, click the button "Finish" (step 5). I logged into my site control panel and checked the logs that shows my most recent visitors. I saw the line "yahoofeedseeker/1.0", not just at my feed, but it points to, almost immediately the links.

A few hours later, I went to search the folder for feeds similar to mine. A search for "traffic secret" popped my site up-now is the rapid admission. I noticed the next day, each time I updated part of my site that has the diet doubles the number of visitors to the page. So it looks like if you are not in a crowded niche, now is a great time to add your feed-there were about 48 results for "internet marketing", but only 7 for "sunglasses". Once you have sent, don't forget to stick one of the buttons "add to my Yahoo!" on a visible place on your web property.

The following link will take you directly to the instructions that appear on Yahoo: http://my.yahoo.com/s/publishers.html#promote-or if you're as lazy as I am, get Yahoo do the work for you-http://my.yahoo.com/s/button.html. Want to search Yahoos RSS folder for your Web site or other? Just go to "My Yahoo!" page, find where you added the RSS headlines block and click "Edit", usually in the upper-right corner of the block of content. That will take you to a new page.

Now, where you would normally type a URL, enter your keywords, or if you know a site has a feed, but don't know the address, the type of the page home. Advanced users can also click the Import feature to import feeds through their.OPML-file. You can view up to 50 feeds per page, but there does not seem to be a limit on how many feeds, you can include in Yahoo. When opens a Browse-able version of Yahoos RSS Directory, and how much more traffic you can expect when it does not? I have not heard any speculation on when the beta period will be up, but I would be willing to be it will be soon. My proposal?

Add your link now, while Yahoo appears to take all.

Blog posts that attract attention

Blog posts that attract attention
By Sharon Housley

Blogs are now a dime "a dozen, and bloggers must make their eye-catching blog posts. Develop a blog following is not as easy as it once was. Learn how to write blog posts that attract readers and keep their attention. Follow these guidelines to cultivate readers ... 1. draw attention use titles to attract the reader's attention to the blog post. The title should mimic newspaper headlines and generate interest in the blog post. The title can be controversial, but not in the scope it is misleading. Use action words in the title. Bloggers will often come with a handful of potential titles of blog posts and then settle on the title that is best suited to a particular blog post. 2. Deliver have a catchy title, but after it with content that fails to deliver, you will not be to the readers. Blog content must deliver what is promised in the blog title, or readers will unsubscribe and stop reading. When deciding on a blog title, not deviate too far from the content, as the two are intricately--the title will attract the reader's attention, but the content must then live up to expectations ... or blogger's reputation will suffer. 3. Accuratenothing stains a blogger reputation as inaccurate information, so make sure that your blog posts contain accurate information. Intentionally posting inaccurate or false information will significantly damage the reputation of a blogger. But if there is an error unintentionally or accidentally in a blog post, you need to quickly post a deviation or correction, together with an explanation and apology in order to save your good reputation. 4. relevant and timely blog posts should always be relevant and timely. Hearing about something long after it has occurred will not Record readers. Blog about information that is happening here and now. If you want to write something that is no longer timely, you must add a kind of twist, or include new or updated information make it relevant. 5. On the subjectall blogs should have a general theme that connects all the posts on the blog. Readers will expect posts that are related in some way, so stay true to the blog theme and topic. 6. use keywordsusing keywords liberally in blog posts. Search engines will attempt to categorize the contents of a blog entry and distinguish its general topic. Including related keywords or keyword phrases, search engines have an easier time classifying the blog's content. In addition, a blog that uses keywords have a better chance of ranking well for those keywords or keyword phrases in organic search listings. 7. Evaluate Web LogsReview web logs to determine which blog posts have been popular with readers. Then figure out how to provide similar or related content, there may also be of interest for these readers.8. original blog posts should always contain original and unique content. If you simply re-posting information from others, include editorial content or another spin information. Readers will not constantly turn the same information--they are interested in reading new material.9. Chunky contentbreak content into smaller pieces and readable. Most visitors to your Web site will just scan paragraphs for information, and only very few will take time to read all the words in a record. Use bulleted lists, or to split the web copy of title bolded sub-topics that appear before section. Write blog posts is not just about spewing forth content. Best blogs are well-designed and contain unique content, provocative and interesting. Follow the steps above to produce a relevant blog worth reading. About the author:

Instant Podcasts

2011-05-26T01:16:00.000-07:00

Instant content; Convert a text article to a Podcast
We learned how to recycle paper, cans, bottles and plastic but marketers rarely discuss the value of repackaging and customization content. Both publishers and marketers have embraced content syndication and RSS but few have considered the value beyond the actual syndication. Consider an alternative communication channel, when a new or different audience.

Customization and repackaging content or information so that it can be consumed through a series of preserving the environment is not a new concept. Many companies Vision Correction today increased communication as a common goal. Cost conscious businesses with tight budges are often interested in minimizing work loads and costs, while increasing communication. By presenting the same information in different arrangements and formats, businesses can increase the reach and communication, while remaining cost conscious.

Businesses quickly found, PowerPoint presentations, be able to be converted into technical articles, or forum posts could be ported to be a basis for a list of frequently asked questions. Along a similar vein webmasters have located a new advent in repurposed content reuse text articles by converting them to audio podcasts.

The process is surprisingly simple, I personally found the prospect to read the articles aloud and record them, both daunting and time consuming, so I opted for a simplified procedure. I found that using two simple programs, i was able to create a podcast in minutes.

The first obstacle, the creation of the sound file was captured with the help of TextAloud program Nextup's. I simply inserted in the text of an article opted for a "vote" and saved the file as an MP3 file. Under a minute, I had a sound file containing the article.

After I had MP3 file is saved, is used in Feedforall's tutorial to create a podcast. Step-by-step tutorial (http://www.feedforall.com/podcasting-tutorial.htm) presented the 12 simple steps to construct a podcast.
I found the quality of the calculated podcasts, use synthesized speech to text, surprisingly good.

Citizen journalists and writers have become common place on the Internet. Perhaps you are considering blogging, but are unsure how you enter the world of online journaling. As the medium has grown, trøde I, it might be a good idea to gather some general guidelines for new bloggers and reminders to veteran bloggers about blogging practices. There is no Emily Post in blogging that offers etiquette advice or a Miss manners that details appropriate behavior. This does not mean that is not acceptable and unacceptable actions, bloggers should take. In order to communicate effectively as a blogger on the Internet, it is essential to understand the unwritten rules of blogging etiquette. If you copy a different blog posts you should link them.? Yes, dictating to you blog manners do everything possible to credit the original source of the blog entry, it must be done through a link. The link should not contain the code "nofollow". Generally, the comment about the quoted Post must be at least as long as the record will be copied. How much can you quote of another persons blog entry? Fair use allows posts or sections of the posts indicated, but it is generally good practice to quote only what is necessary to keep the context of the record. When you post an excerpt from another person, it is imperative that remain intact, for the record. If any complaints about having a blog post, the program copied the exchange rate, what should I do? The right approach would be to remove the entry violates and replace it with text that explains why an entry was removed. Even if you feel the post was simply fair use and not a copyright infringement, dictating the net courtesy that you respect the original poster wishes and remove the content. Why should you credit your sources? Always credit sources for your information. Attribution is important, it not only enhances your credibility, but it will also help build your channel for future content. Sources to see that you give appropriate attribution will often reward you with more information in the future. How to validate the information? Reputation is as a blogger all. all items must be confirmed prior to posting. Consider using two sources to verify that the information is accurate prior to posting. Also use always reliable sources.

Not only is it the right thing to do, but often feeds or blog posts syndicated and unless a correction words could perpetuate unchecked. If the error occurs in a blog post in addition to posting an apology, go back to the original entry and strikethrough inappropriate content, and add a comment that indicates why the record has been changed. How should my speech be formatted? Break posts in readable paragraphs. In General, are the best posts are divided into several sections. Be careful not to alienate readers by using ALL CAPS, this is considered "shouting" online, and is thought of as very impertinent. , I have to use proper grammar in the know blog? Proper grammar questions, grammar and spelling can be inconsistent, when instant messages with your friends, but blogs, immortalize their words, the Internet will be an archive for earlier. Appropriate grammar should always be used when blogging or posting to an RSS feed. What really off the record average? Always respect your sources.

Making money with RSS Feeds

2011-05-25T13:57:00.000-07:00

First it was banner ads, then Google AdSense and now the newest way to earn money on your Web site could very well be RSS feeds. Say what? I said: RSS is hot and you want to use it to drive eyeballs to your site. Here is how it works:

Depending on who you ask, RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary". No matter what you call it, RSS is a way to automatically publish (syndicate) someone else's content on your site. Now calm, it is not the same as stealing someone else's content. There is nothing illegal about using RSS feeds. In fact, the Publisher of the content you want it to appear on your site and therefore is he or she makes it available as an RSS feed to begin with.

So what is it for all parties concerned?

Using RSS is a win-win for both the Publisher of the content, who will see their name for potentially millions of sites and you, the site owner, that pulls the content on your site.

Content, means, in fact, everything that a publisher decides it means. Typical content includes news headlines, new product update notices, blog summaries and plenty of other things. It is "content" part of the equation there is good news for you.

Show me the money
One of the best features of hosting RSS feeds is that it gives your site an endless source of freshly updated and relevant content. This content acts as natural search engine spider bait which they want to fill their little tummies on and come back for more each day. Their appetite for fresh content keep your rankings.

Sticky loyalty is not a new Ben and Jerrys taste, but it should be the goal of any serious webmaster who wants to create a Web site, which site visitors coming back to again and again. Use of carefully selected RSS feeds can make that happen by offering unique content that cannot be found elsewhere.

Now please do not commit the error to thinking ", but they can get the same content on the Publisher's Web site, why should they come to my?". Build just it and they will come! Unfortunately, I could not resist says, but it is true. In addition to the RSS content, as you can probably get somewhere else, do you want to add your own sticky loyalty stuff is all about whatever your site is about to begin with. This combination of your own content and RSS feed makes visiting you a purely unique experiencethat cannot be found elsewhere.

You do not need to be a member of Geek Squad start showing RSS feeds on your site. Just visit the links below and get busy using RSS to make mo ' money.

Convert RSS Feeds to HTML-Feed2HTML

2011-05-25T05:44:00.000-07:00

Many webmasters have realized the benefits of using RSS to dynamically update websites. This means that the site content is changed automatically when RSS feed is updated. This allows Webmasters to serve dynamic content or a mix of static and dynamic content on their website.
Syndication
Often will Publishers interested in expanding their base allow other webmasters to republish the content of an RSS feed. Content providers, to syndication, receiving further exposure, and Webmasters are earning content, generally want to see the Web traffic increases as a result of the new content. RSS feeds can be published or displayed using a variety of methods. Depending on your Web host, server configuration and the intention of the editors are a number of different syndication tools.
In most cases, convert providers RSS feeds to HTML to display the feeds contents. The following are some of the more popular methods to convert the RSS feeds as Web-based content.
Hosted Services
The easiest solution is not dependent on server, a third-party host displays the contents of the diet. The downside to using a Hosted Service is that you rely on a third party. If the third party website has problems, you will see your content is not. In addition, webmasters can often not be able to customize how the content appears on Hosted servers and there is no real Search engine benefit to a third party host. examples-Com-http://www.feedburner.com
and RSS2HTML-http://www.rss2html.com
Scripts
Use scripts to display RSS feeds on a website is probably the most effective solution. In addition, scripts the webmaster by using ASP or PHP to convert their feeds, supervise the "appearance" content is displayed. Webmasters realize also benefit from hosting the feed on a domain, which is within the control webmasters. By using ASP or PHP will allow search engines to spider the actual content of the RSS feed as if it is part of the actual HTML. Special attention to solutions that caches the RSS feed. If your RSS feed is popular, this will save significant bandwidth.
PHP
PHP is a popular scripting language that is often used to dynamically update the Web pages. PHP support is available on most Web servers running on a Unix operating system. example-rss2html. php-http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm
ASP
ASP or active server pages looks like a script language PHP but support can be found more often on Windows Web servers. Example-rss2html. asp-http://www.bytescout.com/how_to_display_rss_using_asp.html
Java Script
JavaScript is easy to use, and many places will produce the code to be inserted into the HTML Web page, make the implementation very easy for webmasters. The disadvantage for the majority of JavaScript solutions is that the Web page calls the script each time, and the actual content of feedingstuffs cannot be spidered or indexed by search engines. So, while JavaScript is easy to use, there is very little benefit to the webmaster. Search engines will not reveal new content and keywords contained in the content of the diet, so their is a little optimization advantage to display RSS feeds using JavaScript. In addition, while it is unusual, will occasionally homepage visitors have JavaScript disabled in their browser, if this is the case they will be able to see the content of the diet. Example-FeedRoll Pro-http://www.feedrollpro.com
Advanced Scripts
Merge Scripts
Webmasters will often find value in the merge multiple RSS feeds in a single feed. This is especially useful when you try to aggregate news about a particular topic. The script, you can produce an RSS feed by taking the latest items from multiple sources.RSSmesh-example-http://www.feedforall.com/rssmesh.htm
