The importance of getting and retaining RSS subscribers so that you get repeat visitors is something you already know if you run a blog or plan to create one. The following article will clearly show you the work needed and the steps to take so that you can add more RSS feed subscribers to you blog in the best way possible.

Use a Clear Icon to Represent RSS Feed: There are blogs around the place that use RSS feed images, but they hide them in a corner or out of view so they’re hard to find. In order for people to subscribe, they need to be able to see where they can do this. Blog readers may not work out that you expect them to go hunting for a tiny RSS feed icon somewhere out of sight on your page, so they just won’t subscribe. Pick a feed icon that is easy to recognize and be sure you position it so people can see it right away. While you want to place the icon in a prominent location, you also don’t want it to ruin your blog’s overall design or professionalism. You also shouldn’t alter the color of your RSS icon, as the distinctive orange color is what people recognize.

Display the RSS Feed Icon Above the Fold: The position of your RSS feed icon is important, because you want your icon to be placed where your readers can easily take notice of it. You should try to display it above the fold, which means your readers shouldn’t have to scroll all the way down to see the icon. The more clearly you place your icon on your blog, then easier it will be for your readers to find it and subscribe. Besides the position, you should also ensure that your feed icon is displayed on each and every page of your blog. It should be seen by default in the sidebar of your blog so that no matter what page your readers are, they should be able to subscribe when they want to.

As Few Steps As Possible: People are generally lazy and they don’t want to go through too many steps before they subscribe to your blog, so try to make the whole process as short and simple as possible. Get into the shoes of your readers and see things from their perspective. Don’t make them go through a number of steps or visit a whole new page just to subscribe to your blog’s feed. You should make the process as painless and easy to go as possible.

The tips discussed aren’t difficult to apply, and anyone with the right information can do so and see increased numbers of targeted RSS feed subscribers to their blog. Watch adsl.
