How to create/add an RSS feed to your website
Whether you are a lifestyle website, a consulting firm, a dog-walking company, or anything in between, you could probably benefit from a blog on your website:
-
Search engines love fresh new content: Your website doesn’t get updated often once you are live, but a steady blog with new posts periodically will boost your rankings, as search engines are always looking for the most
-
Customers are more likely to convert if they connect with you: A personal blog will reflect your unique personality and character, and establish rapport with your customers. Interesting anecdotes and fresh ideas will keep customers on your website longer, increasing the likelihood they take a Call to Action on your website.
There are two steps to this quick process. Here's what you need to do:
1) Find your RSS feed URL
Most blogs/websites can be made into an RSS feed very easily.
-
Blogger: Copy your blog name and insert it in place of blogname: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
-
Tumblr: Copy your blog name and insert it in place of blogname: http://blogname.tumblr.com/rss
