RSS Feeds Can Generate Huge Free Targeted Traffic To Your Site

If you want to get some free targeted traffic to your blog I found a great way to do it with RSS Feeds. On my other site, Beltwayboysports.com  I got a big boost in my site traffic last month after I started to syndicate RSS Feeds into my site. In March I had 18,215 page views for the whole month. For the month of April it jumped to 47,851 page views and I didn't start syndicating the feeds until April 10th. After I saw a little jump in my traffic I added a few more feeds and the traffic really started to take off. I made sure to add only sports feeds that my readers would be interested in reading. I installed the plugin FeedWordpress and have been more than happy so far! I have made sure to keep the posts as-is and keep the authors names because I don't want to be viewed as a fraud. I had been going crazy trying to create content and learn all the aspects of building a successful sports blog at the same time and this plugin has been wonderful!  

A Must Read For New Bloggers

I just finished reading David Meerman Scott's book, The New Rules Of Marketing And PR, How To Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing & Online Media To Reach Buyers Directly. Mr. Scott is an expert in online marketing and strategies. The way in which Mr. Scott lays out his concepts and actual examples is very easy to understand. The book has value to anyone from a beginning blogger to a seasoned online veteran.  I didn't know that bloggers were able to issue press releases, I think that is so cool! He also covers the power of blogging, podcasting, videos, social networking and search engines. I'm glad that I found the book because it actually helped connect the dots on several questions I had. The best thing is that 90% of the ideas Mr. Scott explains in the book are free to use. You can get your name and site seen by a great many people online for free and can grow your audience at the same time! It's a win-win situation!
