RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”, but what does that really mean to you as an internet marketer?  More importantly, can you use RSS to make money online?

Simply put, RSS feeds are printed in XML format, a unique mark up language much like HTML. RSS documents are used to create data feeds which will send headlines, links or virtually any other portion of information to a channel viewer application, called a news reader.

These readers are subscribed to certain RSS feeds and constantly check them, alerting the user when any new information has been added to the RSS feed.  So, how can you use this to your advantage in internet marketing?

You can use RSS to replace any email marketing you are presently doing, use RSS feeds to increase traffic to your blog or web site or build your own RSS feed so your messages and information show up on thousands of websites, blogs and desktops via the internet. You can also use RSS feeds to get a regular supply of fresh content to your website or blog.  As you know, the search engines just love fresh content.

Now here is the important part.

You can now use RSS to quickly create large numbers of quality backlinks to your blog or website.  The more good backlinks you have, the higher your page rank.  Higher page rank means better ranking in search results which in turn means more targeted visitors to your site and ultimately more sales.

There is now a Wordpress plugin that will create and submit a new RSS feed to the pre-configured RSS Aggregator websites, and where applicable will also include the tags used in the post.  RSS Power Plus gives you the ability to automatically generate backlinks to your blog, website or other Web 2.0 properties. This plugin is also available in a stand alone version which can be used with static websites or web pages.

The bottom line is, if you want to make money online by getting more targeted visitors, take a look at the RSS Power Plus Pro website and get a copy of the free version for starters.  You have nothing to lose.
