Did you notice that I set up RSS feeds for my website? Oh yeah, it is a great idea for a lot of reasons. Wait, you do not even know what RSS feeds are? Okay, before we get into the benefits of RSS for my website, you first need to understand what RSS feeds are in general, and what good they can be independently. Once you learn those, then I will get into why I am so excited about having those RSS on my website.

• What Are RSS Feeds?

RSS feeds are this convenient technology that takes any source for content on the internet, and basically turns it into a steady news stream. Whatever is reading an RSS feed, whether is in an actual RSS reader, or a program for RSS for websites, it transforms that site’s content into a handy, precise subscription so that the reader will stay open for any and all future content.

• Why Should I Subscribe?

RSS feeds make your life easier and simpler than anything else on the internet. If you are anything like the average internet user, you begin each day’s internet foray by opening up all of the tabs to each of favorite sites. Then you sit and wait for five minutes while all of them load. Once they are all finished, you come to find that half of the sites did not even update from the last time you had checked.

So you wasted all of that time for nothing at all. By subscribing to all of your favorite sites in RSS format, you can get them all located in that one, convenient place. By keeping each one in your RSS reader, you do not need to open each individual tab just to check up on them. Not only that, but you do not need to keep checking back each time, because the reader will notify you as things update.

• What Good Are RSS Feeds for My Website?

Now, the question of the hour: why did I add an RSS feed on my website? As you know, my website is all about food, whether it is recipes, or news, or restaurants. I just want to pull in the food crowd. So I found and added some food RSS feeds for my website. Some are from the Food Network, others are from other independent food blogs.

It serves two purposes. When people come to my site, they get to see other food news, so they see how on top of things I am, and they know that they can come to me not only for my content, but a stream of other relevant feeds as well.

Also, it allows my site to stay updated with the latest feeds without my even having to post anything. Because those feeds are updated on their own, I can stay even more relevant!

Brilliant, right? Not only are RSS feeds super cool on their own, but they actually can help you to boost your website as well. You should really consider it. It is really simple to setup and implement, and completely free! So go ahead and start looking for some relevant RSS feeds for your own site.
