5 Reasons why a full RSS feed is important.

Published by Max Mint at 8:55 am

A lot of websites today offer a RSS feed. Still a lot of those feeds are partial feeds, but should you actually do that? Below are 5 reasons why you should better offer a full RSS feed:

  1. It saves people time. Plain and simple. Your reader doesn’t have to visit your website, and can browse trough your content real fast. If people are interested in an article of yours, they will still comment on it by clicking trough to your website.
  2. The overview is way better. How often do you come across a website full of advertisements, flashing banners and other crap which will only distract your from the most important thing: the content.
  3. Your reader will return reading your articles. How often do you remove a RSS feed from your RSS reader? When I look at myself, the feeds who didn’t offer me anything new to read after a month or 2, will be kicked out of my list. If I don’t like the article what is being offered, I just scroll trough but will keep you in my list.
  4. The chance that your older posts will be read will be much greater. When you are writing on a blog or other type of website for a while, you have such a huge list of articles that won’t fit on your frontpage. If you are new on that website most of the time only the articles on the frontpage will be read. Inside a RSS reader you just scroll down to the next article. If the content is good ofcourse!
  5. People will share your articles much faster. Most RSS readers have an e-mail this or blog this button. How easy is this to get even more attention to your blog or website? When a reader is sharing your content you have a new potential reader following up!

If you are interested in my articles, why not add my full RSS feed to your RSS reader?
