The most simple thing about RSS feeds is that it helps get your website found by search engines. When you set up a wordpress site, you must have already configured its settings and if you aren’t sure what it is for, it represents a way for people for receiving notice of updates to your site through giving them a brief summary of your latest activity. People do subscribe to your site’s RSS feed through clicking on it and then selecting the very action that they wish to take as well as clicking on the subscribe button.

The RSS button is more often located in the web browser ‘s title box along with the website’s name and will be there in case you are using Wordpress. The RSS button is orange with a dot as well as two lines on it that are usually white. In case your site has been created on one of the website building sites, then you will only have a feed on your blog page and it will be either in the sidebar or even at the bottom of the page.

In case, you click on this button, it will eventually bring up a box that shows your feed ‘URL’ and make a copy of this complete URL.

A feed burner represents a tool that increase the functionality of your RSS feed so that you can

·         See the stats of your site when it is read.

·         Format your feed for any readers and all directories.

·         Customize your feed through addition of things like ads to them

·         Display your feed burner stats as well as subscription count along with a widget

Another crucial thing that a Feedburner performs is that it serves your RSS feed, so that no matter how many people or applications are subscribed as well as reading your feeds, your server won’t slow down by it.

By this time, Feedburner now belongs to Google, so that it represents a fair bet that they will be paying due attention to the feeds that run through it. The higher the attention you get from Google, the better it will be.

You must firstly go to the feedburner site and type in your site feed within the box in the ‘Start FeedBurner Now’ area.

Secondly, you have to create a username and password.

Thirdly, you have to copy your feedburner feed address and then check out the options and in case, you don’t wish to choose any of these, then you can select ‘skip directly to feed management.’

On the very next page, you have to click on the link that is appropriate for your site. In case, none of the links are appropriate for your site, then you can simply sign out. If you own a wordpress site and when you click on the link, you will be taken to another page that have a link for a zip file that contains the Feedburner plug-in files that you will upload to your wordpress site. Google offers full instructions on how to perform it, all this on the same page. You just have to print it off and refer to it easily while you work.
