What are Feeds?
My topic of choice, for today, was going to be discussing the basics of AdSense for feeds. But, naturally, before we can discuss how AdSense can be used on feeds, we must first learn what feeds are!
If you are starting a blog or have had one running for some time, you should definately look into using a feed. Feeds are an integral part to drawing traffic that every blog owner should use. What most blog owners want, in the long-term, is a cult following of a good number of people who regularly check the site. Repeat visitors means reliable traffic for the long-term, which can lead to greater revenue. And of course, every blog writer wants his or her hard work to be read and liked by others.
One of the biggest problems in keeping steady traffic, however, is updating your blog or site. Web readers expect updates on a regular basis and become impatient when they visit a favorite blog only to find no new posts. If you are the type of blogger who cannot commit to a set time, like every other day at 7 PM Eastern time, a feed will do the work for you. See a feed allows readers to check for updates easier than one could by actually visiting the blog site.
A feed bookmark, essentially, works exactly like a bookmark does. A small tab for the site will appear in a bookmark toolbar. Unlike with normal bookmarks, however, feed bookmarks allow users to scroll through a list of posts. This means with one click, and no loading, a person can see whether or not a new post has been made on their favorite blogs. And if they want to read the new post, they can click on it and be taken right to it!
Naturally, many experienced web users prefer the use of a feed subscription over checking a site over and over again. This is why we will explore why AdSense for feeds in a future post.
