How to Add RSS to Your Website – Simply
I am primarily a web-based travel agent, making my living from
selling travel arrangements from leads generated from my
specialist travel websites. Over a period of time I have built
many websites and when creating the last few sites I have added
an RSS news feed to generate up-to-date news about that
particular travel niche.
In doing so I have added another valuable resource for my
potential clients and site visitors but at the same time I have
added a source of continually changing content that helps my
sites with regard to their search engine optimisation.
However, initially I found the great mass of articles, ebooks
and software really confusing. All I wanted to know was how to
be able to set up an RSS feed and then add it to my site.
After many, many hours of researching RSS feeds and buying quite
a few, reasonably expensive RSS feed creation programs, I
finally came across this solution, which for me, is easy to use,
straightforward to set up and, more importantly, is free.
To set up, say, a “Cruise News” feed, I would find a suitable
feed from sources such as www.icerocket.com, www.2rss.com or
visit Yahoo’s news feeds at http://news.yahoo.com/rss .
For example, to create a feed in Yahoo I would enter my subject
in the “search” box, which would result in a new page of news,
relevant to cruises and cruising. I would then click on the
orange RSS feed icon that will be shown on the page and the copy
the resulting feed URL, (e.g.,
http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=cruise&ei=UTF-8) that
would appear in the IE address bar.
Next I would visit “FeedJ2s”, at
http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/feed/index.php?s=build and
enter that Cruise News feed URL. Then, by pressing the “Generate
Feed” button I would be able to generate the relevant “Cruise
News” RSS code that I could then enter in the relevant place on
my new website.
Now I am not suggesting that this is the best way you could
create a useable RSS feed for your website. There are plenty of
other ways and other programs out there and you can visit my
dedicated website http://www.rss-feeds-4u.com) which will tell
you all about RSS feeds and products.
However, if you don’t’ want to spend a lot of time or any money
on setting up RSS feeds for your website, this must be the
easiest way by far.
