Casual Articles - How To Make Your Site RSS User-Friendly
I think that sometimes people see articles as a way to boost traffic, and then everything else is a function of the traffic. So they have two things happening here: 1) write articles, get traffic 2) Sell to traffic, etc.But I see it differently. You see, I have written around 300 articles and have about 100,000 words of content just laying on my hard drive, bored out of its mind.So I not only use articles to boost my initial traffic, but I use them to boost my affiliate revenue.Here are the things I use my articles for to boost my affiliate revenue:1) I use my articles in my email campaigns to build credibility and make sales2) I bundle 10 or so art
Here are some simple solutions to help alleviate this problem and make your site more RSS-Friendly:
1. Don't just place the orange RSS button on your site. Always include a link 'What is This?' beside it. Have this link leading to a page explaining what RSS is and how your visitors can access and use it. This has a two-fold benefit; visitors who are familiar with RSS will know how to use the button, visitors who are in the dark can get a quick education in RSS 101! Here's an example I have on
The first few minutes of an incoming telephone call are critical if you want to turn an inquiry about your company's products or services into a long term customer relationship. Research shows that you only have about seven seconds in which to take charge of the call and capture the prospective customer or client's attention. If you don’t gain immediate control of the conversation you could lose the chance of developing business for your company. The following examples show you how key phrases can turn a common, every day price inquiry into a selling situation, that in turn produces a new customer for your company or firm.The IntroductionTypical opening: Good morning, ABC Co
This is not necessarily bad news!
For many Internet users are enjoying the benefits of RSS while remaining totally clueless as to its function or how it works. Programs like 'MyYahoo' and the RSS empowered Firefox Browser are letting surfers access RSS and enjoy its major benefits without having any or no knowledge of it.
In the very near future when Microsoft introduces its new RSS powered Longhorn Browser and operating system - this situation will hopefully continue. Internet users should be able to enjoy all the benefits of RSS without having to know what it is!
Users don't have to know 'DOS' or even 'HTML' to enjoy the full benefits of the Internet and their computers. RSS should fall into this same category. It would quickly bring RSS into the mainstream without having to overcome a long learning curve.
However, until RSS is blended seamlessly into web sites and browsers, there remains one major problem with RSS. Most browsers can't access the RSS feed directly. When many surfers click that little orange button on your site, they get a jumbled code or worst, their browser freezes. Many will depart your site scratching their heads or saying a few choice words in the direction of your site. Not a pleasant situation for anyone.
At the heart of the problem, an RSS Feed must be accessed by aggregators or an RSS feed (news) reader like Newsgator or an RSS empowered browser like Firefox which has a 'Live Bookmark' feature that basically updates your bookmarks or feeds with RSS. A direct link to an RSS feed just won't work with most browsers.
Webmasters must fix this problem. You must fix this problem. You must make your site RSS User-Friendly. You should realize by now, every web site visitor counts. Besides, its just good net etiquette.

With the country’s immigrant population booming, the need for bilingual jobs continues to increase. But how do you single yourself out from the crowd and effectively market your bilingual skills? An average of 880,000 documented people immigrate to the United States each year, and corporations are struggling to meet the needs of a progressively multi-lingual population. Bilingual personnel are more valuable than ever; the flip side is that a large portion of the new consumers are also bilingual jobseekers. As a bilingual jobseeker you need a way to make your resume stand out.There is no nationwide test to certify your bilingual status. Some states require certification for specific jo

Nasty office politics are promoted and reinforced when organizations send the message that backbiting, underhandedness and manipulation are the quickest ways to get ahead. But nasty office politics hurts everyone. It forces people to develop a cover-your-back mentality and resort to deceptive and manipulative behavior. It also fosters a hostile work environment. To avoid engaging in nasty office politics read on:Do not gossip about or bad mouth anyone who works in your organization. Do not criticize co-workers or subordinates in public, even if you belive they deserve it. By criticizing people in public, you humiliate them and make other employees who are within earshot of your con

Far too many people get ripped off when setting up a merchant account for their online business. The biggest reason is that they don't understand their options and are intimidated by the whole process. Now, armed with the proper knowledge, you don't need to become a victim of this process.You may be like me when I first decided my online business had grown big enough to justify a merchant account. Maybe you have enough sales where getting your own account makes a lot more sense than using a third party processor who charges outlandish rates. Maybe you should use both third party processors and your own merchant account... giving your customers more choices.When I set

Major PPC companies such as Google and Yahoo decline to quantify the scope of click fraud. However, some estimate click fraud range from a few percent to more than twenty percent. Click fraud occurs when a person, automated script, or computer program imitates a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad. These clicks are done for the purpose of either to drain competitor's marketing budget or generate advertising income.Who Commits Click Fraud?Business Competitors: Competitors of a business try to drain opponent's pay per click (PPC) marketing budget by clicking on their PPC ads deliberately. They may click themselves, have friends or
Here are some simple solutions to help alleviate this problem and make your site more RSS-Friendly:
1. Don't just place the orange RSS button on your site. Always include a link 'What is This?' beside it. Have this link leading to a page explaining what RSS is and how your visitors can access and use it. This has a two-fold benefit; visitors who are familiar with RSS will know how to use the button, visitors who are in the dark can get a quick education in RSS 101! Here's an example I have on my site. 'What Is RSS?'.
You are welcome to use this page on your site if you're pressed for time. Just copy it and upload it to your site or link directly to it. It will do in a pinch!
2. As mentioned before some browsers can Automatically discover or Access your RSS feed. The Firefox Browser is a prime example. To facilitate or aid in this AutoDiscovery process place a simple code in the HEAD section of your webpage's HTML code:
(link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.bizwaremagic.com/blog/atom.xml" /)
Just don't forget to replace the ( and ) characters with < and > in your web page code. Also, place in your OWN feed!
3. Of course, many webmasters use many RSS buttons on their site to guide their visitors in the right direction. For example, placing a 'MyYahoo' button will make it easier for visitors using that program to access your RSS feeds. Bloglines and MyMSN buttons are other examples. Some webmasters even design their OWN RSS button for their sites. Just remember to place your 'What is This?' link beside it.
4. However, if your visitor is not using an aggregator or RSS equipped browser, they will still get the jumbled code that will be puzzling to them. One way around this problem is to use a free service from Feedburner.com and have your RSS Feed transformed or presented so that if can be read in your visitor's browser. Instead of linking your orange button directly to your RSS feed, use the Free link from Feedburner in its place. Your web site visitors will then be able to read your feeds but they will also still be able to subscribe to your RSS feed.

5. Perhaps, using the same system above, an easier and friendlier solution to use is a Headline Animator from Feedburner. This will display your RSS feed headlines on your site in a very User-Friendly way. Anyone wanting to su
