RSS is also known as Really Simple Syndication. It is a method of sending blogs and online publications to your subscribers. Anyone interested in your information can subscribe through a blog reader service also known as an aggregator. This makes it easier for your interested subscribers to accumulate blogs from multiple sites. There are a number of aggregators on the Web, who can consolidate and organize your subscriber’s choices and selections of desired blogs and information. Among them are as follows:
Ø Liferea
Ø Novobot
Ø Straw
I have used the feed reader and it seems to work well to aggregate any blogs that I have subscribed to as I browse the Web. It is a very useful tool to collect our classroom blogs as well as other blogs that we might be interested in throughout the Web.
RSS feeds are being used by online influencers and news providers to distribute their content. The reader strips out the formatting and puts the information in a uniform usable format for organization and inclusion into your own blog or webpage. The uniform formatting makes I easy to organize and more usable for inclusion.
When you include this information in your own website or blog, Search Engines penalize your SEO status for using “duplicate” information. It is best to use original content that is relevant to your subject matter. If you are attempting to generate users to your site this method may not help because you’re advertising and formatting has been stripped out leaving only the content. You can also have the information sent directly to your email, if you wish.
It is a good provide your readers with a way to subscribe to your content, however? It does have drawbacks, especially if you are trying to generate ad revenue by drawing people to your Website or Blog.
