RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Each WordPress blog has one automatically built-in RSS Feed. Proper usage of your blog's feed is another way of building backlinks, which helps your site get indexed faster, reach more people and enable them to subscribe to your blog. The more people subscribe to your blog the more value your website has for Google.
You can easily find your blog's RSS Feed by clicking on the yellow (PC) or blue (Mac) sign on the right side of your browser.
Want your Feed to serve you well?
There are 2 powerful plugins, which will help you take full advantage of all the RSS feed's benefits. Both of them will generate new feeds every time you write a new post and one of them will automatically send those feeds to RSS directories!
Web Traffic Genius
Your feed gets exposure and builds links back to your blog or website, when submitted to various RSS feed directories. Hopefully there are lots of such directories. The only problem is how much time you are willing to spend on such long, manual submission. Personally, I prefer to automate what I do whenever possible and to use my saved time for making strategic decisions, for example.
That's where Web Traffic Genius Plugin comes into play. It's a powerful RSS feed generator and submission tool. You can install Web Traffic Genius both on WordPress and non-WordPress sites.
Here are the benefits:
After you install it on WordPress sites, it automatically generates new feeds to each of your published posts and sends them to 20 directories (in some cases, you will need to create your username account, but only at the beginning when you use it for the first time).After you install it on non-WordPress sites it also automatically sends your feed to the before mentioned RSS directories.You can create feeds for sites, which don't have built-in feed.You automatically build backlinks to your blog or other sites and drive more traffic to it, saving huge amounts of time.You build a Page Rank of your website.You can install the software on unlimited numbers of domain names.It's compatible with PC, Mac and each operational system.
Drawbacks:
Anthony & Tony Buchalka from the Web Traffic Genius mention sending the feed to 20 directories but currently 2 of them are not working. Fortunately they are working on the solution.
RSS BOMBER
It is another RSS Generator plugin but in this case just a typical WordPress plugin. After you install it, it generates new feeds to each of your published posts.
The benefits are:
Instead of one general RSS feed on your blog, you get a new feed each time, which you can submit to RSS directories.Whenever you publish a new post, you will receive an email informing you about creating a new feed with link to it.You can install this plugin on unlimited numbers of your domains.It's compatible with PC, Mac and each operational system.
Drawbacks:
This plugin works only with WordPress. As opposed to the Web Traffic Genius software, this plugin doesn't help in the process of RSS submission - you have to do it manually.
SUMMING UP
Both of the plugins are very useful and powerful. The only question is how much you value your time when it comes down to the nitty-gritty manual feed submission.
