RSS, the Dark Side is Strong with You

And you thought RSS was the best thing about blogs, the advantage they have over a standard website without a feed. But think about it for a second.

If your reader uses a feed reader, he may really never come to your blog. It is too easy just to read your post from their reader.

And this causes your blog to get less traffic. Less traffic means less revenue from your blog. And you don’t want that. You built a blog for visitors.

But again, there are advantages. Your RSS feed can bring readers back. It can help your traffic rather than harm. It’s a dilemma.

When you ask a blogger what the issues of a RSS feed are, he or she might say:

• An RSS feed makes it easy for any random spammer to steal your content, shred it and turn into gibberish on thier own site. It's what spammers crave.
• Readers don't need to come to your blog, because they have your feed. What else do they need?

But there is much more to this problem
