Copyright 2005 The IWE, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

RSS(Real Simple Syndication) is the talk around the net
these days because of its many benefits.

I'm sure you've received several emails(like I have)
telling you to jump on the "RSS" band wagon and that it's
the answer to all your Internet and Email marketing woe's
because of its syndication capabilities.

With RSS Directories and Search Engines coming into the mix
as well these days for RSS feeds you really have to decide
whether or not you really want it get in on the "RSS" craze.

Now, before I get to far ahead of myself here I want to
make sure you know exactly what RSS "IS" and WHY it's
becoming such an essential tool for Your online business
and other businesses around the world.

I've received a lot of feedback from people just starting
out online and/or other webmasters who are not quite sure
asking... "what is "RSS" in Plain English and do I need it
for my online business?".

I wrote an article earlier this year stating the "10 MOST
Powerful Reasons WHY You Should Be Using RSS", but I guess
I clearly didn't explain what "RSS" IS which left the
readers kind of stumped.

If you wish to read that article as well I've provided the
link below.

With that said, lets 'Now' define what RSS(Real Simple
Syndication) "IS" in plain english for those of you who are
NEW to it and for those of you who are still a little bit
confused about it and its uses.

RSS is by definition -- an acronym for "Really Simple
Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary", and the .XML extension
is the format used for distributing YOUR news headlines via
the Web, which is known as "Syndication".

"Syndication" is where the TRUE power of RSS is unleashed,
getting your message or information across the web in an
INSTANT to websites, your subscribers and/or readers.

Now, to put this in plain english, "RSS" is simply a
technology that distributes YOUR information(whatever it
might be -- ex. Articles, Special Offers, Product Reviews,
Resource Announcements) by syndicating it across the net.

It's that simple.

It doesn't have to get any more complex then that.

The more websites, subscribers and/or readers that opt-in
to your RSS feeds, the more FREE targeted TRAFFIC you'll
receive from their websites.

How can you take advantage of this NEW technology...
Starting Today?

Set up a BLOG!

Blog's are great because they are "RSS" ready.

If you don't know what a "BLOG" is here's a link to another
earlier article I wrote that explains BLOGS in full detail
since the nature of this article is to make sure you
understand what "RSS" IS.

Here's the link:

EXPLAINED In Plain English".

I truly hope this article cleared up any confusion you
might of had about "RSS" and will help you take that next
step to deciding whether or not "RSS" is for You and your
business.

My final thoughts are, don't be afraid to do a little
research, you'll be amazed at what you might find if you
spend a little looking for it on the net.
