As a blogger, you want everyone to have access to your content. One of the popular ways to “step out” of the blogosphere is to provide your readers an opportunity to get your headlines without even having to visit your blog. This is important for one reason: you may not post something that interests them, and after a few days, they may forget you exist. It can’t be helped: everything you write is going to interest someone, but few will be interested in everything you write. An RSS feed gives these casual or occasional readers a chance to see your headlines and visit only when they are interested in a particular subject.

Unlike other Internet marketing and publishing tool, RSS can power multiple key Internet marketing and publishing elements and activities in different areas:

• Prompt delivery of your Internet content to end-users.

• Increasing the visibility of your website and thereby generating more traffic/visitors to your website.

• Powering your Internet public relations through RSS conversations.

• Enhancing your web presence.

• Serving as an advertisement platform for publishers and advertisers.
