Published on January 08, 2012 Using RSS Feeds to your advantage
If you want to keep up to date with news and information from a blog or website, you can “subscribe” to updates from that website via their RSS feed. For example, our ecommerce blog is located at https://ozcart.com/blog, but if you don’t have time to come to our site to read the latest tips and information that we have on our blog to read, you can just subscribe to the RSS feed and see just the latest blog articles and information right to your desktop.
There are three main ways that you can keep up to date with feeds that interest you:
- Using standalone RSS readers that install on to your desktop computer
- Via plugins into email applications like Microsoft Outlook
- Via browser applications – for example, Google has an RSS reader
Some RSS software picks up feeds and can send you by email regular updates with the ability to view the feed.
Your Ozcart website also publishes RSS feeds for others to see, so you can encourage your customers to subscribe to feeds to see your latest products.
Using RSS feeds is a great way to keep up to date with what’s happening in your industry, and engage your customers in what’s new in your online shop – another way of driving new traffic to your website and building sales.
