RSS also known as “Really Simple Syndication” is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries. RSS content can be read using software called an “RSS reader“. Once a visitor turns into a subscriber on your site, he/she becomes a part of your website. These subscriber helps your blogs in a long run and one of the biggest advantage of these readers are that higher the Rss number, the better rates you can get from ad networks like SponsoredReviews and ReviewMe.
It’s suggested by pro bloggers like JohnChow that you should not display your Rss Readers count on your blog unless it least reaches 50. It’s natural if a person is scared to take a step outside of their comfort zone but if you have at least XXX amount of readers on your site, more chances are that the visitor will consider registering on your blog and of course if you’re offering quality content.
To increase the number of subscribers on your website you can always ask your readers to subscribe on your blog by writing something like “If you enjoyed this post, please consider to leave a comment or subscribe to the feed and get future articles delivered to your feed reader.” at the end of each post.
Offering full feed is important because many RSS users won’t subscribe to your feed if it’s not full. By default in Feedburner, it only gives you a summary of every feed post.
You also need to make sure that your Rss button is visible to all the readers and it’s best of you place it at the top of the blog where they can easily subscribe without scrolling down the page. The button doesn’t have to big if it’s easily visible for the readers.

Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
By: SimonStudio | 01-05-2008
Last night I left three of my AVATARS in loop. I lost around 85 followers.I shouldn't of let my cat try to talk me into bed. he kept on begging. I didn't realize the feed would haywire. My aliases on TWITTER are listed on my website. I'm keeping it transparent so it doesn't bite me in the ass. Eventually I assume most of you will unfollow n block me... but by that point I will have perfected the craft of puppet accounts! puppet accounts can be fed N2 a root account, where I can follow all fools that thought they could block me. there is NO blocking! the final account will take the RSS feed of multiple accounts and run it N2 one account. you will not realize the new account is me. twitter is about information, not privacy. this should scare off all the Betty eMOMs into a panopticon surveillance phobia. I realize that heirarchy is part of life's function, but as a thinking person I have to make sure my reputation has thorns. it is less important to me if you follow me or not. what is important is I can follow enemies. this is all about following people that block me. that is it. I don't care if they pay attention or not. I'm not the "BUGBLATTER BEAST" if you don't follow me, I'm still dangerous to values that have not been tried. I know u can't defeat logic. I don't know anyone here enough to know if they r enemies yet, what I do know is most people unfollow n "block" because of nothing. It could be tyranny, but I didn't create TWITTER, and if you don't like it... YOU CAN'T BLOCK me. those r my thorns. u can UNFOLLOW with the button, but if u anger me I will enter ur community n convince ur friends that ur wrong. no more BLOCKING. interesting feeds r created by those whose opinions r not popular. they block when questioned. I want in. I want 2 learn n dialogue. I know I don't have 2 like or agree 2 benefit. I love reading Nietzsche n Machiavelli. I assume they would block. my cycle last night was not intentional. I already realized it was theoretically possible. I was trying to filter it out. the idea is to cycle and control multiple avatars from a central one. not create a loop. if I can accomplish this then I can speak to those that block me. speak to the dead so to speak. theoretically I can make god speak. end result was creating a loop.Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
