Just in case you're not, lemme spell it out for ya.... Thanks to Yahoo, people won't even have to go to your site to add you to their Yahoo page, if you have right Meta Tag in your site's header.

And if they don’t use My Yahoo page to track their feeds? They’ve been kind enough to include a link to your XML link as well.

How do I know this works?

Do another search for need free traffic - without quotes this time. Scroll down to search result number four - see one with feed links?

That’s my site.

Not only did this work, apparently it only takes a few days from submitting your feed. I added this simple code to my site header on 6th of July. I noticed another traffic increase to my site on 8th, and I couldn’t figure it out, which led me to check listings in Yahoo that had sent me traffic.

How did I do this? I added a simple Meta Tag called RSS Auto Discovery to my site. It’s very simple to use. Here’s what it looks like:

< !-- RSS Autodiscovery -- >

< link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"

href="http://www.freetrafficdirectory.com/members/backend.php" / >

Just replace my RSS feed link with your own, and add tag to header of your site.

Tinu? Normally a forthcoming woman, her free traffic mental affliction prevented her from telling you the *most* important thing about the RSS Auto-disovery tag.

With all new free tools available, even if you’re all thumbs when it comes to making a web page, if you can fill out a form, you can create a feed.

Reason #3: Get visitors to click through to your site whenever you update

If you haven’t used a feed reader before, you might be confused about connection between feed and your site and why it can result in an increase in traffic. I’ll attempt to explain this to you in words, but I suggest downloading a news aggregator (also known as a feed reader), and looking at results of your favorite site’s feed through a reader after you read this for full effect..

You can use my main feed here if you don’t have one to view: http://feeds.feedburner.com/FreeTrafficTips

If you don’t want to have another application up while you’re surfing, you can try Pluck , a free application you can use for more than just feeds that integrates with Internet Explorer - get it at http://freetrafficdirectory.com/pluck - it will take you right to downloads page.

You can also do this from My Yahoo!, by changing your page to include their RSS Headlines console, still in Beta testing at http://my.yahoo.com .

To summarize, a visitor sees headlines they want to read, view summary, and click through to your site to read rest of news, either in a new window, or without having to leave application they are in.

And when you update again, reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate list of items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back.

Reason #4: Recycle old content.

If you have a list of your older articles, some older product reviews, site suggestions, or archived newsletters, you can use those to build content to populate your feed with information. As long as this news is still relevant, you can recycle this content to attract new visitors

Reason #5: Its so easy it’s crazy not to do it.

Before last few months, there weren’t as many free tools online that made process of starting and publicizing a feed so effective and user-friendly.

The bottom line is, now that you can get all those benefits from filling out a form, saving file, uploading to your server, promoting it once, and updating it from time to time, it’s insane not to do so.

You already have to update your site from time to time. You might as well get all benefits of having a news feed too.
