Automatic RSS Web Listing Feeds May be the Future of Web Listings
|
|
|

For
people already using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and XML data feeds on
their desktop PCs, your website will already pass all your new listing
data on to them automatically. There is nothing you need to do to
enable this. It's already been taken care of for you. RSS is a way for web users to have content
from websites automatically sent to their PCs whenever it is updated.
These feeds, sometimes called "web feeds",
are often used to receive news updates or blog entries. A significant
percentage of large news sites offer these automated news feeds to their
customers and now you do too!
How it Works
Web visitors download a free program called
an RSS reader. There are many types of RSS readers, they are readily
available, and many web surfers are already using them. Any visitor to your website
that wishes automated listing updates directly to their PC simply clicks on the
"XML"
link on your Listings page as this "XML" designation is a universally recognizable RSS
link. A page opens and the visitor can then copy and paste the web
address from that page into their RSS reader.
This is actually a very simple process,
taking just a few seconds, and will be immediately familiar to anyone who
is using RSS already. Thousands more web surfers are beginning to
use this technology every
day. Once they've added your link, all of your listings will then appear in their RSS reader and will be
updated each time you update the listings on your website!
