RSS Feeds..Are They Worth Submitting??

I hear so much about RSS feeds that I decided to see if it's worth all the hooplah.

What is a RSS feed?? Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. "RSS" is about getting live web feeds directly to your computer. RSS takes the latest news from different web sites, and pushes it down to your computer for quick scanning.

Now why would you want to submit your RSS feed? Because it brings traffic..how do I know?? Well, I created my RSS Feed and added my "Subscribe" button to my blogs. I already have several subscribers on each blog and have seen an increase in traffic since I did it. Your readers can even subscribe by email.

If you haven't created yours then do it today. I recommend FeedBurner. They have an easy to use dashboard with tons of features and extras.

Income Streams for Bloggers - How they Make Money from Blogs

Advertising Programs - Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been with the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers. The most common way bloggers seem to earn money online is via the contextual ad program from Google Adsense. Another popular one with many is BlogAds. A more recent addition that many are using successfully are CrispAds, and Text Link Ads.

Element Ads, Bidvertiser, Adbrite, and Axandra just to name a few.

RSS Advertising - The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising also. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big money through it to this point - but as improvements are made to the ad programs exploring this I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.

Incorporating Affiliates- Obivously, affiliates are a big part of a bloggers income. ClickBank, LinkShare, AuctionAds, PayLoadz, ROI Rocket, Traffic Payouts, and Agloco. These only name a few.

Donations - Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full time after fundraising drives. Perhaps the most high profile of these was Jason Kottke of kottke.org who through the generosity of his readership was able to quit his job and become a full time blogger.

As time rolls on there are more and more ways that bloggers make money from their blogs opening up. Feel free to suggest your own ideas and experiences in comments below.
