Feed Reader? Little Orange Button? No Fear, It’s RSS Awareness Day
Really Simple Syndication
Subscribing to the RSS feed of a given website/blog will allow you to automatically receive every new post as soon as it is published, which is very convenient; you don’t even have to visit the website ever again…or at least for weeks at a time. It’s more like a speed reading technique rather than a substitute for swinging by. Us publishers still like it when you visit from time to time, it gives us a chance to show off our new shoes and fancy pants.

The folks over at Daily Blog Tips have put together a site dedicated to teaching those who haven’t joined the loop yet what it is all about. Go visit RSSDay.org.

I like RSS feeds as much as the next person, but I’m still wondering how it benefits folks like you who run ads on the site? Are you thinking of pushing ads into the RSS feed? I saw some sites started to do that and I found it truly annoying.

I don’t find that it dissuades people from coming by and checking out the ads, those people will come anyway. Plus, I was thinking of replacing my RSS feed with 5 blocks of Google Adsense and adding a link to the article. What do you think?
Will it fly?

Even my unconscious mind is ironic.
