f Podcasting Not Just for Music By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 08:52:18 -0400 Although podcasting is new, it is well on its way to becoming a mainstream communication medium. Podcasting, simply put, is audio files that are delivered via RSS. Many people believe that podcasting is solely for the distribution of music files, but really, nothing could be further from the truth. This emerging method of audio file distribution has opened an array of marketing and communication opportunities to businesses. Currently, most who are familiar with podcasting are technically savvy, but it is clear that podcasting will be more than a passing fad as many businesses are adopting podcasting and employing it in unusual yet powerful ways. Podcasting can be used for talk shows, tutorials, music demos, educational training, stories, comedy clips, debates or even foreign language tutorials. While RSS has had the capacity to include audio files for a few years, only recently have entrepreneurs made the conceptual leap, taking advantage of the new power held within this communication medium. In reality, podcasters cover the gamut; some are professional broadcasters, while others are obvious amateurs. Full Article

f Displaying RSS Feeds By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 11:00:00 -0400 Displaying RSS RSS offers webmasters a unique opportunity to display fresh content on websites. While publishing an RSS feed is a great way to generate site interest and increase communication, syndicating and displaying feeds from related relevant sources can also generate interest, increase traffic and improve search engine ranking. RSS Radars Webmasters with limited time or capacity can syndicate related content. In a nut shell, webmasters can create RSS radars by combining a mix of content from related sources by grouping similarly-themed feeds. RSS feeds are updated at different intervals, providing an ever-changing collection of related information. RSS is a form of eXtensible Markup Language or XML. Viewing an RSS feed in a web browser generally produces code that is not easy for website visitors to decipher. As a result, webmasters use tools to display the content contained in an RSS feed. Content contained in RSS feeds can be added to websites a number of different ways. Each method for displaying the RSS feed has pros and cons associated with it. Webmasters will need to determine which option will best meet their hosting and technology needs. Complete Article - Displaying RSS Feeds Full Article

f Tips for Blogging By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 10:00:00 -0400 10 Tips for Bloggers -There are no hard and fast rules on how to blog. Having said that, bloggers will likely increase their exposure by following some simple blog guidelines. 1.) Stay on topic. Opinions are generally accepted but the content of the items in the blog should all relate to a general theme. Unless you have an uncanny knack for wit, humor or cynicism, the majority of your readers will be interested in the content that relates to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers won't care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast. They may, however, be interested in the fact that vinegar takes out stains and that toilet paper rolls make great wreaths. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers. 2.) Stay informative. If you are attempting to create the impression that you are knowledgeable about a specific industry or sector, be sure that you stay current on news. If you are endorsing a product or voicing an opinion, be sure to check your facts; your reputation is at stake. If you are offering an opinion, be sure to qualify your post, making it clear that the content is intended as an editorial. Complete Article - Tips for Blogging Full Article

f RSS Newsletter from FeedForAll By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Mon, 24 Oct 2005 12:53:26 -0400 October is the month of beta testing. Beta testers help provide feedback and shape the direction of the application by providing suggestions for enhancements and usability. Beta testers also let us know if they encounter any errors in normal program use. A beta version means that the product is stable, but does not yet contain all the features planned for the final release, nor does it contain all the documentation. The purpose of the beta version is to get feedback from users about the way the product works (general look and feel), and to get feedback concerning the features that are included (or should be included) in a final release. FeedForAll Beta Release! The first beta release for FeedForAll version 2.0, is now available. This beta release consists of some major work behind the scenes, making FeedForAll Unicode, UTF-8, and RSS Namespace compatible. What this means in non-geek speak, is that FeedForAll 2.0 can be used to maintain RSS feeds in any language. It also now supports all RSS 2.0 namesspace extensions, like iTunes. http://www.feedforall.com/beta.htm FeedForAll Mac Beta Release! We are pleased to announce the second beta release of FeedForAll Mac. The following new features in the FeedForAll Mac beta release: * Extensions (XML Namespaces) have been completely redone and iTunes® is now fully supported; * Capabilities to allow browsing directories and files on the remote FTP server in FTP upload; * The WYSIWYG window has been slightly modified, as well as adding format alignment features http://www.feedforall.com/beta-feedforall-mac.htm FeedForDev Beta Release We are pleased to announce the FeedForDev Beta. FeedForDev VCL Control and ActiveX components are for developers and make it easy for software developers to communicate with users from within their software application. http://www.feedfordev.com RSS2html.php A new version of the free rss2html.php script has been made available. The new script that displays RSS feeds as html, can optionally use curl instead of fopen. The new version's scripting change addresses security concerns that some web hosting providers had expressed. Details on rss2html.php v2.7 can be found at: http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm New Article(s) Ego Searches & RSS Ego searches are free and simple searches designed to monitor blogs and news portals for mentions of your company, product, competitors or other specific keywords. Conducting ego searches not only allows you to stay informed, but also allows you to maintain a strategic advantage over competing companies. http://www.feedforall.com/ego-searches.htm The Copyright Debate & RSS RSS is commonly defined as really simple syndication. So, this means that any material contained in a feed is available for syndication, right? Well no, not exactly. It means that the content contained in an RSS feed is in a format that is syndication friendly, if the copyright holder allows for syndication. http://www.feedforall.com/rss-copyright-debate.htm RSS Security As RSS gains momentum, security fears loom large. As publishers are quickly finding innovative uses for RSS feeds, hackers are taking notice. The power and extendibility of RSS in its simplest form is also its achilles heel. The expansion capabilities of the RSS specification, specifically the "enclosure" field which has launched the podcasting phenomenon, is where the vulnerabilities lie. The enclosure field in itself is not the problem, in fact the majority of RSS feeds do not even use the enclosure tag. The enclosure tag is essentially used to link to file types, things like images, word documents, mp3 files, power point presentations, executables and can be thought of in similar terms to email attachments. http://www.feedforall.com/rss-security.htm We'd like to thank you for your continued support. It is through customer support and your suggestions that we've been able to continually improve the NotePage product line. Full Article
f Advertising in RSS Feeds By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 09:00:00 -0400 As publishers have moved towards monetizing RSS feeds, their have been vibrant discussions as to whether advertisements in feeds are viable or whether they will drive subscribers away. At the end of the day while it appears that many are discussing the philosophical approaches to ads in RSS feeds few are taking the time to examine the options available for inserting advertisements in feeds. Ultimately the advertisements served are going to determine the success of RSS as an advertising medium. The ads served must be related to the content contained in the feed. If the RSS feed contains quality content, the ads are relevant, and the volume of ads is in balance with the volume of content served, advertising in RSS feeds will succeed.

f Measuring RSS Feeds By www.feedforall.com Published On :: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 09:00:00 -0400 Measuring and tracking RSS while a fairly simple concept, is really anything but. Unlike websites, RSS have the added caveat of potential syndication, making accurate tracking a challenge to anyone but the extremely tech savvy. It is not unrealistic for marketers to want to know how many subscribers they have, which items in their feeds attract the most interest, or how many click-throughs are generated as a result of an RSS feed.There are a number of 3rd party providers who focus on tracking the consumption of RSS feeds. Some solutions are rudimentary but likely sufficient for a small business testing the waters with RSS. Other RSS tracking solutions are more complex and while they can come close to being accurate, with syndication there is no solution that tracks with 100% accuracy. Measuring RSS Feeds Full Article

Not only can public domain material be freely used and syndicated on websites, but a number of content publishers provide content in exchange for a link back to their websites. A variety of contents related to the website theme that is integrated into the website will attract the interest of both search engines and web surfers. The key to taking advantage of free content is integrating or including content that is directly related to the theme of the website. http://www.small-business-software.net/content-is-king.htm Monitoring and Tracking RSS Feeds Measuring and tracking RSS while a fairly simple concept, is really anything but.

Registered users of FeedForAll and FeedForAll Mac have free access to the scripts directory. We've added an additional access options for users who do not use FeedForAll. Access to the RSS Scripts Directory is available for a flat fee of $ 29.95. The scripts directory currently contains RSS Cache, FutureRSS, RSSmesh, and of course rss2html.php http://www.feedforall.com/scripts-directory.htm The RSS Scripts Directory Contains: rss2html Cache RSS Cache is now included in the scripts directory. FeedForAll is pleased to announce the release of rss2html Cache. This new module allows users of the rss2html.php script the ability to have their source RSS feeds cached, significantly speeding up the web page display time. The new rss2html Cache module will expedite the retrieval and conversion of RSS feeds into html web pages. Once the feed is cached it will be read from the local hard drive for a specified amount of time. After the specified time has lapsed, the RSS feed will be fetched again. The script is available free of charge to all registered users of FeedForAll and FeedForAll Mac. http://www.feedforall.com/rss-cache.htm New RSSmesh RSSmesh is a script that enables webmasters to merge the contents of multiple RSS feeds into a single feed. http://www.feedforall.com/rssmesh.htm New FutureRSS FutureRSS is a PHP script that enables webmasters to prepare content for their RSS feeds in advance, and have it automatically appear at the desired date and time. The FutureRSS script can be used with any RSS 2.0 feed, and allows content to be 'scheduled' to appear in the feed weeks, or even months later. Webmasters have found, to their dismay, that most RSS feed reader applications, and feed aggregator applications do not honor Publish Dates (PubDate) that are set into the future, making it impossible to prepare content in their RSS feeds ahead of time. The FutureRSS script solves this problem, by not making any of the RSS feed's Items available until their PubDate becomes current. The new FutureRSS script will be made available free of charge to all registered users of FeedForAll and FeedForAll Mac. Additional details are available at: http://www.feedforall.com/future-rss.htm Namespace Directory Namespace allow publishers to expand upon the fields defined by the RSS specfication.

The growing RSS phenomenon in the realty market makes perfect sense. Unlike email RSS feeds have a 100% delivery rate. In addition the costs involved in creating and managing an RSS feed are insignificant when compared to the print advertising Realtors spend on each week. Imagine the amount spent each week to promote various properties in circulars and weekly newspapers, compared to the costs associated with updating and managing an RSS feed. http://www.feedforall.com/realtors-use-rss.htm Monetizing RSS Feeds Publishers are evaluating options and determining how they can profit from RSS feeds. The two obvious contenders that publishers are considering to profit from their RSS feeds are: subscription RSS feeds and RSS feed advertisements. http://www.feedforall.com/monetizing-rss-feeds.htm Organic Search Engine Optimization The fabled tales of successfully tricking search engines into high rankings have given way to a new truth: to achieve decent consistent ranking, you cannot engage in tricks but on focused optimization done in a professional ethical manner. According to search sources, with the latest Google update, there is no longer an even playing field when it comes to search placement. The new Google ranking system gives an advantage to large, established businesses that have achieved brand recognition. Does this mean small businesses should give up on the Web as a marketing model? No, of course not, they simply must develop quality content. http://www.small-business-software.net/organic-seo.htm Delicious RSS Delicious is a social bookmarking system, that is notable, not only for its unusual web address http://del.icio.us, but for its unusual approach to content building that is becoming increasingly popular. In order to ease the burden of producing consistent stream of fresh content, publishers are turning to users to build, categorize and qualify content. While this is said to be part of the web 2.0 phenomenon, publishers realize the value of collaboration. http://www.feedforall.com/delicious-rss.htm Expanded Whitepapers How are you using RSS?
