I know I've ranted about this before, but here we go again. It cannot
be said enough. EVERY business that has a web site and has information
on the Internet needs to provide RSS Feeds for that data.
I am
looking for product review web sites right now. Looking to harvest data
on different product areas and feed it back out to users. I am not
looking to harness the traffic, it will go to the source of the
reviews. I do this to get data and statistics and ultimately provide
value to end-users.
4 out of 5 sites I come across have reviews
but do not have an RSS Feed. I understand that some people are worried
about their proprietary data, well.....get over it. RSS will generate
new users and syndicate your content beyond your web site.
If you can't figure out how to have an RSS feed, go get a Wordpress blog and start using that!!
