Spread Your Feed

The Power of Feeds

I can’t say that I am an expert on getting subscribers. I only have about 160. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it. But I do know a little about feeds. I know that feeds can be useful to a site if you don’t get one subscriber.

Just looking at this chart on Wired will give you an idea of how far a feed can travel. The more distance you get out of your feeds, the bigger the payoff in traffic and backlinks. A link to your site is one thing. A feed provides a new distinct link to your site each time you post. Multiply this by the amount of sites republishing your feed.

Finding a Direction

This blog has basically a mess of categories. The categories explain what is in them, but they tend to be all over the map. This is because this blog has really no direction as it stands. Yes, you can find some great tutorials here. Some techniques that are hard to find on one page, but it is hard to find an umbrella to put all of this under. And since I think design is only a way to put things in the right order with the right emphasis, it has been hard for me to find a direction for the theme.
