Enfeedia and RSS Feed Basics
Why You Need Your Own News Feed
If you have or want a following for your business, organization, or simply your personal endeavors, creating an RSS news feed is just the ticket. If SEO for your website is important to you, an Enfeedia-hosted RSS feed is a powerful tool.
What's an RSS news feed? It's a powerful yet simple way to put your stream of messages "out there" without you sending email. And that makes it easy for one to learn what's new without meandering all through your website.
Post your messages whenever you want, as often as you want, and your audience reads them on your feed at their convenience. They can even choose to register for automatically delivered email alerts when items are posted on the feed.
Choose To Use Your News — Or Lose
By publishing messages on a continuing basis, you establish yourself as an authority on your topic. RSS news feeds are excellent for maintaining customer loyalty. Keep them informed on a regular basis. Don't let them forget about you!
Fresh content posted on your feed that's syndicated on your website improves the search engine results placement of your site.
An RSS news feed is simpler than email and more valued by your email-bombarded audience!
What is "news"? It's any message or article you want. You can even embed a photo or video into your news item, and add text links, a Google search tool, and a PayPal buy-now button.
No List To Maintain Will Keep You Sane
If you've ever had to maintain an email list, and if you've ever had to suffer receiving all those "undeliverable mail" messsages, then you will appreciate this: By creating and publishing an RSS news feed, you no longer need to send your audience email and therefore don't need to maintain an email list.
Those who wish to easily stay up-to-date about your news without having to peruse your site can register for automatic mail alerts. Did you know that many email service providers impose limits on sending email, for example, the number of recipients for a single email, the number of email recipients per hour or day or month ... with the risk of having your email account temporarily shut down if a limit is exceeded? Not a problem with Enfeedia's feed-driven email.
You'll Be The Rage With Your Own NewsPage
When you publish your RSS news feed with Enfeedia, we create a NewsPage -- a standalone website hosted at Enfeedia -- for you so your audience doesn't even have to know anything about news feeds — and some of you might not even need a website.
Because, with a premium membership, you can customize your NewsPage with information about your endeavor, including pictures and videos. Combined with regular postings on your feed, you will find your NewsPage showing up in search results giving your endeavor more exposure -- with no additional work on your part. By the way, consider the benefits of having links you create from your Enfeedia-hosted NewsPage to your website regaring SEO.
You'll Publish With Ease! (We Know That'll Please.)
If you know how to write and send email, you can easily publish your own RSS news feed using Enfeedia.
What could be easier: Sign in and enter your news item title and article into an online form and submit it; within seconds, it's published online and subscribers (optionally) get an alert.
By adding an Enfeedia-supplied code snippet and using an Enfeedia-supplied script, you can syndicate your RSS news feed items — one or many — on your website. And now you can syndicate your feed on your website without using that script, what we call Super Simple Syndication.
Syndication just means embedding an RSS feed directly on one's site. Yes, you can syndicate your own feed on your own site. We call this syndication feature NewsOnSite, and the process of posting items onto your site ShootOnSite.
With self-syndication, when you publish items on your feed, you are automatically publishing those items on your website at the same time without lifting a finger. And that means search engines index your news feed content with the rest of your webpage!
Step Up Your Site's SEO Score with Super Simple Syndication
Super Simple Syndication improves on Original Syndication (what we've offered from the beginning) by eliminating the need to upload the shootOnSite script to your website. Because that script is a sizeable amount of PHP code, some of you or your webmasters may have been reluctant to upload that code to your website, concerned about side effects or unexpected consequences to your site operation.
Now, you can forget all about that script, and just have Enfeedia do the syndication for you. Here's how: The snippet sends a few paramaters, like your Enfeedia account name and feed name, over to Enfeedia. Enfeedia receives those paramaters and then uses its internal shootOnSite script to transform the cryptic feed file into HTML code to provide the feed in human-readable form. That HTML code is returned to your website where it replaces the code snippet, causing the feed to appear on your webpage just as if were hard coded on your site. And seen by search engine spiders. Every time your page is loaded, that process occurs, so the feed that is presented is assured to be current.
With Super Simple Syndication, it's never been simpler to strut your stuff.
To get your Super Simple Syndication code snippet, go to the Promote section of Enfeedia and follow the on-screen instructions.
Super Simple Syndication is available to premium membership levels (Publisher, Pubisher-PRO and Enterprise).

Glossary in the context of Enfeedia
RSS Feed aka RSS News Feed aka Feed -- An online communication vehicle for distributing messages from time to time by way of news readers, news aggregators, and FeedMail. A feed comprises a channel section and one or more item sections.
Feed file aka XML file -- The industry-standard file format for an RSS feed. To be human readable, translation to HTML code is required.
News Reader -- An application that translates the feed XML file into HTML code for human consumption.
News Aggregator -- An application that translates many the feed XML files into HTML code for human consumption, offering features for presenting and organizing the feeds.
NewsPage -- Enfeedia's built-in feed reader that also includes options to add content of various kinds to sections of the NewsPage. NewsPages are webpages on their own right and are crawled by search engines. Enfeedia automatically generates a NewsPage for every published feed.
Syndication -- Embedding a feed or portion thereof onto a webpage in human-readable HTML form to present the feed to site visitors without having to leave the page. Enfeedia's syndication methods embed the feeds in a way that provides for search engines crawling feed contents.
Feed Channel -- That portion of a feed that defines the feed, including feed title, feed description, feed link, and more. Think of a feed channel as encompassing all items in a feed. The feed channel typically provides a title and description that is appropriate for all items to be posted on the feed.
Feed Item aka Item -- A unit of communication on a feed comprising, in the minimal form, a title, description (aka article) and a title link. A feed comprises one or more items.
Email Alert -- An email sent to subscribers that inform them an item has been posted on a feed.
FeedMail -- Enfeedia's term for an email alert, but more accurately reflects that the feed item is included in the mail.
Create a Feed aka Set Up a Feed -- The process of specifying a feed header, necessary before items can be posted on the feed.
Publish an Item -- The process of specifying the various elements of a feed item and including it in a feed.
Publish -- In the absence of any qualifying adjectives, is the overall process of creating a feed and publishing items on the feed.
Responsive Web Design -- A website design methodology such that the website can be presented on devices/computers of various screen sizes without the architecture and navigation being affected, with text size and image sizes all automatically adjusted. Often referred to as 'mobile friendly'. Enfeedia is a responsive website.
HTML -- HTML ("Hyper Text Markup Language") is the standard markup language used to create webpages.
PHP -- A popular software programming language ("PHP Hypertext Preprocessor") for websites. Web servers process PHP code that results in generation of HTML code before the page is delivered to the client. Thus, search engines can crawl content produced by PHP code execution.
Script -- A term often used to mean a software module, commonly used with PHP. Enfeedia's shootOnSite software is a script that performs the news reader function.
Code Snippet -- A short line of software code. Enfeedia provides code snippets for website designers to implement various feed-related widgets.
Search Engine Optimization aka SEO -- Broadly speaking, implementing a website design in such a way as that the pages of a website will appear high in search engine results pages when people search the internet. Search engines such as Google "crawl" the pages of websites all over the internet to assess their value vis-a-vis search terms to determine where to place webpages in search engine results pages (SERP).
With Blogtrottr FeedMail, you will receive an alerting email, we refer to as FeedMail, when new items are posted on this feed. We recommmend you do not select the default "real time" setting.

27 Mar 2016 16:18 Google Launches Mobile-Friendly Search - What Does It Mean for Enfeedia RSS Feeds? |

FeedBack ( 0) Today, Google announced mobile friendly search. Essentially this means that when searches are conducted from smartphones, search results will favor those websites that are mobile friendly. So if the success of your website depends to a large degree on people discovering you doing smartphone searches, you have no time to waste in getting your site converted. (1) For those of you who are syndicating their Enfeedia-pubished feed, you may be wondering how syndication is affected by mobile-friendly design. The answer is: The syndicated feed works perfectly fine in mobile friendly websites. Here are some examples: -- PoesyArt -- Pickleball Club (2) The NewsPage that is published by Enfeedia for every feed it publishes has been mobile friendly since the fall of 2013.

And also provide a possible source of revenue through its to-be-announced crowdfunding feature. Given the simplicity of posting YouTube videos on your RSS feed with Enfeedia, and thereby, through syndication, posting videos on your website without the assistance of a webmaster, we could see a breakthrough opportunity to monetize your creative videos. And here's a little teaser: Be on the watch for an announcement from Enfeedia regarding feed syndication without uploading a script. Syndicate by just inserting one line of code on your website. And that one of code can be one of four pre-defined formats, so you don't even have to think about it, just pick one. Syndica ... read RSS feed item |

29 Jun 2013 20:27 Google Kills Reader, Helps RSS |

FeedBack ( 0) While the death of the most popular RSS reader on the internet could have been seen as something that would represent a grave danger for RSS as a standard, for openness as a concept, and for heavy news consumption, the inverse has been true, as it only solidified RSS' position in the world as the format for news delivery. Reader was a good product but one can hardly call it a great product and its demise will help rectify some imbalances it created in the market. To get a sense as to how Google killing Google Reader can be seen as the best thing to happen to RSS one needs to look back. Read article

29 May 2013 18:49 A Better Way to Post on Facebook |
|
FeedBack ( 0) If you promote your business or endeavor of any kind by posting to your facebook account, here's a better way to do that: "Share and share a Like" from your Enfeedia-hosted RSS feed. The way you post now -- by posting on your facebook News Feed or Wall -- is simple enough but has limited benefits to you. Your message only reaches your facebook friends. With some luck, some of those friends may 'share' it or 'like' it such that your message reaches their friends. But over time, as additional posts are entered, your message falls off the bottom out of sight. In other words, the useful lifetime of that posting can be quite short. So the time for friends to see your posting and share/like it is rather limited. And of course, your message is not shared with ... read RSS feed item |

 FeedBack ( 0) Considering video podcasting with your RSS feed? Here are great considerations about making your video...By Bob Huntington, Weasel Productions: Most people when asked "What's the second largest search engine" will respond Yahoo or Bing. It's not. It's YouTube. YouTube is owned and operated by Google making them number one and two in search. If you want to succeed on the web you must embrace video at some point to become more visible in search than ever before. The knee-jerk reaction is "I don't have a video. Doesn't that cost a lot of money?" Of course it can, but it doesn't have to. The advent of low cost, HD capable camcorders like the Flip series puts video easily into the mix for the masses.
