Full RSS Feed on Thoughts From My Life
Well I finally did it. Thoughts From My Life has a "full" RSS feed. The 10 most recent postings in their full length are included in the RSS. I wanted to do it for awhile, but insisted on writing content instead of altering my RSS generating code.
I made the decision because I realized that I appreciated blogs with full RSS feeds way more myself. I can quickly skim the articles and head over to post a comment if I wanted.
Here is my RSS feed containing the full articles now
Losing Revenue with a Full RSS Feed? Not Really.
I didn't do it before, because I thought I would lose revenue. I thought I was teasing the reader and forcing them to come to my site where they would then be exposed to my ads. But I'm starting to realize that RSS readers are more web savvy. More than likely, the are fellow bloggers. The traffic from an RSS feed is more interested in content and are used to these revenue schemes. They aren't going to click ads that much anyways (if at all). It is my increase in search engine traffic that has increased my revenue.
Bloggers are Your Marketing Department
Other bloggers are your marketing department. They come to read your content. They don't click your ads anyways. If they like you, they will link to you and spread the word. They help you get revenue by increasing your search engine ranking and sending you referral traffic from their site. My new side-task is to make sure they are happy and keep coming back. A full feed RSS is my first step in that.
If you are looking to increase your feed readers, try this out. I know I would be more likely to add your feed to my reader.
