There are a lot of great RSS web resources out there and we wanted to take a few minutes to explain some of the advantages of one of the biggest on the web, FeedBurner.com

What Is FeedBurner.com?

Feedburner.com is a site that allows webmasters to dress up their respective RSS Feeds.  Since FeedBurner.com was purchased by Google, it has changed in a few ways and mostly for the better.  The simple fact that this is a site owned by Google, you know that anything you submit here will be indexed by Google in a timely fashion.   Also, you can now connect your RSS Feed Analytics to your Google Analytics account.  This is a great way to keep all your stats in one place and make your job a lot easier.

What Can FeedBurner.com Do For My RSS Feed?

FeedBurner.com has all sorts of interesting ways to “Add” value to your existing RSS feed.  You can do a lot with the formatting, you can add links, you can make social bookmarking of your feed items  a snap, you can even make the feed more accessible by making it available in multiple formats.

RSS Feed – Subscribe By Email

This has to be one of the most useful features that FeedBurner.com will add to your RSS Feed.  If you do not have a mailing list, this is the next best thing.  You can put a small piece of code on your site and then allow your readers to subscribe to updates from your site via email.  The email updates are driven by your RSS Feed, so every time you update your website or add a new piece of content, your readers are automatically notified of the updates.

Multiply Your Feeds Using FeedBurner.com!

Many people like to use popular websites and programs that allow RSS Feeds to be submitted to directories and RSS Feed Aggregators.  If you are doing this with your current feed, then understand that each feed you add to the FeedBurner.com site will produce a new RSS Feed web address and in essence will multiply the number of feeds you have to submit to these services and sites.

Remember that you will need to give a slightly different title and description to your FeedBurner.com feeds or they may be marked as duplicates!
