RSS opens a new gateway to ever-flooding effective business strategies, never
existed before, and creates a new dimension in the way you reach out to the
public. When you, as a marketer/ businessman/company, decide to promote your
business through the marketing strategies of Internet, try to take the maximum
advantage of this interactive medium. When your website does not engage
visitors, then your web-based promotional efforts have been crippled. What are
the means to attract visitors to your website, when there exists a million
dollar question – whose website to visit? Given innumerable choices, just think
of the visitor’s plight to decide which one and whether he wishes to really come
back after his first visit.

RSS has a lot of advantages over the other existing methods, to turn it into the
most sought-after, powerful, influential tool, which will take over the Internet
world very soon, if understood fully and properly. It is basically a
‘push-based’ communication method, which can be published and subscribed to
easily. It can be explained as a file containing the latest information and
accessed by subscribers who are interested.

Consider a website as a real-world conversation. We need to adopt the same
things just like while trying to sell our product to a sales prospect in person.
RSS has wonderful features, which embody the techniques of conversational
marketing in a very flexible way. Don’t you go through the following while
reaching out to the visitors? Glance through and see how RSS helps:

• First, you decide your goal and try to analyze what kind of audience your
website can get.

• What do the visitors get on visiting your website? Interview customers for
their feedback, do a research and make changes to your website accordingly. The
last part can be done very easily done using RSS feeds (which we will see in
detail in the later chapters).

• The look of your website is very important. RSS has made it very easy to
understand, see and feel your message for the visitors by mixing video and audio
channels to your contents. Also, keep in mind that not only is it enough to have
a good website but an appropriate one to your business also, to catch your
visitor’s eye.

• Make your website work well in all the browsers. Your website is open to a
variety of visitors who can prefer browsers of their choices. RSS is a
convenient way since it works on all platforms. Most of the browsers may not
face hurdles accessing RSS.

• Your website is the gold mine of information on how the public respond to what
you say. RSS provides an unbelievable platform to discuss the views of the
public without wasting time. Instead, you can spend your time on crafting
quality contents. RSS has got many special features such as dialog facilitators,
RSS radars, and automatic responders to enhance the significance of
conversational marketing.

• You can collect a lot of information such as the number of subscribers, their
interests, their reading frequency, the topics they are more interested in etc
using RSS feeds. These are definitely going to be vital for improving your
standards of business.

• Your search engine ranking reflects how good your website is! RSS increases
the search engine ranking remarkably and well, again helps develop your
business.

And do not think it’s a super-techie thing that you cannot use! Once you are
familiar with the tool, you are open to the amazing world of RSS and one day,
sure to find yourself hooked to it! Its going to be the beginning of an
unbelievable era, exploring deeper and deeper the many faces of RSS and of
course, the web world, through it! Though it can’t be an all-out replacement for
other technologies, it can be a standard to optimize your Internet experience.
