Fun Free Feed Tools For Both The Publisher And The
Reader
As you've probably been reading, there are basically three
problems many webmasters have with web feeds (that is, among
those who are already familiar with them on a basic level).
The three concerns I hear the most are:
"How do I deal with the bandwidth hit?"
"Is there a way to include information that isn't in the
automated resource I use to populate my feed without touching any
code?"
and
"Where can I find a cost-effective, simple way to display
feeds on my site?"
Say Goodbye to Bandwidth Overages with FeedBurner
http://feedburner.com
If you're a publisher, chances are, you're familiar with the
bandwidth increase that occurs every time your audience reads the
latest update to your feed that for some webmasters lead to the
possibility of exceeding monthly bandwidth limitations. There's
an easy solution.
Burn your feed with FeedBurner. They're happy to take the
burden off your server. (And yes, they say, FeedBurner is one
word.)
Whether you've just created your news feed or you have been
RSS-ing for years, you can create a free account at their site.
Their service will also:
- translate your feed from Atom to RSS or vice versa,
- make a browser-friendly page that explains what web feeds
are to the new user,
- allow you to splice any link into your feed using some of
the more popular social bookmarking services.
FeedBurner also allows you to study your demographic by
giving you statistics on how many request have been made for your
feed contents, down to the item if you like.
Though I offer both the burned version of my feed and the
original to my audience, they love the extra information my
FeedBurned link provides them.
Social Bookmarking -Share More Info with Less Hassle
http://furl.net
http://bloglines.com
http://del.icio.us
Social bookmarking allows you to create a bookmark online, and
share those bookmarks via RSS.
Some services even allow you to share your collection of
links, as you can do with the service from del.icio.us .
Furl.net, newly acquired by LookSmart, also adds the capability
of saving an old version of a page you have visited with the
bookmark feature. And at Bloglines, you can get ezine
subscriptions via feed by subscribing through a special address
they give you.
All three of these services can be coupled with FeedBurner to
splice external links - or other internal links from your own
site - into the "burned" version of your feed.
Display links on your site for free with RSS Digest
http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/
You've heard about the value of displaying feeds from other
sites (with permission of the publisher, of course) on your site.
The theory is that the frequently updated headlines add freshness
to your site, which results in more frequent visits from search
engine spiders. This can lead to better rankings for the site
carrying the headlines, and more backlinks for the feed
publisher. Everybody wins.
For the most part, I've found this to be true, with a feed
that frequently updates, at sites that have suitable content for
both the visitor and the spiders to enjoy.
The trouble for many smaller web property owners is finding a
cost-effective manner in which to employ this technique. Most
free tools that do this with javascript are fine for site
publishers who are using the headlines for content, but if you
also want the search engine benefits, it doesn't help as many
spiders don't register content that appears in this format.
RSS Digest will do this for you in HTML, as recently reported
in Search Engine Journal.
It's not as sophisticated a tool as CARP or RSS Equalizer, but
if you want to offer your feed to an audience and they don't mind
using an IFRAME or pasting PHP code into their pages, this will
do the job just fine.
If you're good at supplying tips, finding resources, or
locating fresh information, after viewing some news feeds for
yourself, you might find that you're ready to take the next step
and publish one. If you're already a publisher, utilizing some of
these free tools may help you build a better feed.
Either way, good luck!

another that give them access to the others forums,
