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 Perhaps it would be easier to ask what can not be published using RSS?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.

Marketers on best RSS:

What have experienced marketers say about 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. "

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.
