Why Use RSS Feeds?

Why use RSS feeds when it is so difficult to understand and use in websites? RSS feeds are "links" that are alive when placed on your website. Every time a visitor views your webpage, the feed code shows the latest, newest and freshest information retrieved and saved from the source of the RSS feed. Also read about how you can submit your website content using this technology to increase traffic to your website.

USING RSS FEEDS FOR FRESH WEBSITE CONTENT:

RSS makes website building easy. Say for instance that you have created a website or web page where you want to display the latest news about your town. Instead of checking the news sites every day for fresh news about your home town, and then having to update your website or page with that news, you now can make use of RSS to free up your daily chores. All you need is to add a small rss feed link to your website or page and it will automatically fetch the latest related news and display it for your website visitors.

Implementing this technology is not that difficult to achieve as it was in the past. Since more and more people wanted to have websites with fresh news without having to keep working at it all the time, RSS tools were developed to make it easy for them. All you have to do is add the sites where you want your news to be taken from, and these tools will then provide you with the RSS code to put on your website.

IMPORTANT RSS FEED CODE CRITERIA:

These sites take the live feeds you want and and convert them into Java Script code which you can then insert into your website code. Java Script is not search engine friendly - people can see it but search engines not.

If the search engines can not see what your page content is showing, they cannot provide you with the best possible ranking in the search engines. If you are using monetization code to display advertising on your website relevant to the content of your site, you may also find that your ads are not that relevant and therefor not optimized for the best possible conversion. Free syndication services may cease to exist. If you want to setup a site for keeps you may want to look at a paid service that have support and sustainability.

Is it not exciting now that you realize that using RSS feeds on your website is not difficult anymore and to know how to use RSS (by using RSS tools and online services)? You now also know that it is not always wise to use free RSS feeds and to make sure that the service you decide to use, is a permanent and viable service.

We also discussed that we should rather not use Java Script feeds but rather alternative search engine readable code. Using html or php code instead will help in getting more traffic, but there is a much better way to get more traffic using this amazing technology.

USING RSS FEEDS TO GET MORE WEBSITE TRAFFIC:

If your website content is requested through a RSS service or Software Tool by someone who would like your latest website content showing up on their websites, it would be great for your website. People reading your content on other people's websites, may click through to your website and become your website visitor!

Having your website content syndicated to other websites through your website's feed, may make you website content spread much wider than you could have imagined. All those websites linking back to your website, should also benefit your website's position in the search engines.

Increase your website's area of influence by submitting your RSS feeds to RSS feed submission directories. Adding great content to your website as often possible also helps as people tend to share more content online than ever before. If your content is good, people may place your feed link into the websites services they use every day, and that way they will see all your website updates automatically.

CONCLUSION:

Now you know that you can setup websites that display the latest content on any topic without real effort and you also discovered that you can use this new technology to increase the exposure of your website and to receive much more traffic from all over the web.

An Introduction to RSS Submission Software

Today more and more people are relying on the internet as an information tool. That is why it is right to say that the internet is an inexhaustible source of knowledge and information infested with enormous content which is updated constantly. It is supporting the masses to know what they want and being a never ending information gadget it is also serving to provide the requisite help to enhance one's knowledge base.

As the computers are becoming ubiquitous the usage of internet is also increasing in a significant ratio. The web sites, blogs, news services and other online resources are also growing rapidly in variety. The variety of the online services requires a high visibility and exposure of the content to attract the user and that can be achieved through the major distribution media follow ups.

The major search engines and the online directories are the traditional sources of reaching about the content as there are only Web sites and HTML-based content pages. But now the content sources are rising irrespective of the fact of being new or old. The content is being migrated or added through the modern distribution channels such as- RSS.

The usage of RSS is getting additional importance as there are number of people going for RSS newsreaders and aggregators to access the information. The prominent search engines and the various techniques for content optimization are of less use now as the RSS feed directories and search tools are gaining ample popularity.

The key benefits of RSS Submission software

It is really unique as compared to the other automated submission programs. The cutting edges are listed as:

1. It saves the precious time by supporting multiple submission profiles at a time. 2. This automatically submits the content to various online aggregators 3. The facility of automatic pinging is accompanied. 4. It is an efficient tool that assists in finding the keyword and desired descriptions online. 5. There are automatic service updates generated through this. 6. It is a powerful tool for making CAPTCHA submissions easy.

A major attribute of this is that it provides all of the submission links directly in avoid to check out the extra time wasted in doing so. To put a damper on the spam and other superficial or automated submissions the companies or the websites are taking hard measures so that they do not reveal their material information.

What is RSS and How Can it Help Your Marketing?

You may have heard of RSS feeds, but you might still be wondering exactly what they are. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." RSS itself is just the format for delivering regularly updated web content. Blog feeds allow readers to keep up with the newest information posted on different sites, and people "subscribe" to the feeds of their choice.

For example, there are 20+ blogs out there that I really enjoy reading on a regular basis. I want to keep up with them because they help keep me up date with all of the latest information in my niche. However, I don't want to have to go out to the web and pull up each blog individually every day in order to see if they have been updated. The solution to this is to use a "feedreader" to see all of my favorite blogs' latest content all in one place. Feedreaders allow you to access new content in two main ways: in the actual reader itself or by email updates. One of the most popular feedreaders and the one that I use is Google Reader.

Why is this important for marketing? Two reasons: 1-It is a great way to stay current and educated on the things going on in your market or niche through blogs, and 2-It provides a simple way for people who are interested in you and what you have to offer to stay informed. You want to remain on people's radars consistently so that even if they are not ready to buy from you now, you are able to stay top of mind for them when they are ready to. Just as an email newsletter helps to build and continue a relationship with its subscribers, a blog does the same with those who subscribe to its RSS feed.

By its very nature, social media allows content to be shared and spread far and wide across the web, resulting in more exposure for you and your business. Therefore, being able to share your blog's content through multiple channels is crucial. For example, many social media services and platforms such as Facebook require you to provide an RSS feed address in order to syndicate your content.

Blog platforms such as WordPress come with feeds already built in and it's pretty simple to find the RSS feed of your own blog. Just type the address of your site into a browser and add/feed right after it. I use a service called Feedburner through Google to manage my feed and give me detailed statistics on my site's traffic and subscribers. I suggest you "burn" your feed as well to keep track of your subscribers at feedburner.google.com.

Now you know a bit more about RSS feeds and why they are such an integral part of having your own blog-or keeping up with the ones you like to read the most.

A Personal Trainers...Holidaze

Rules of day to day no longer apply as you surrender to the hearts and minds of those closest. Conversation, food and wine are intoxicating. You can't leave the table the conversation is too good. The holiday food keeps coming. I fall back into the silken warmth of family stories and recollections of past years.

I generally eat until I am sated but now... its quest for space, I must keep up, I can't be that... "I don't eat that wimp". I can't spoil this mood and bring everyone down to reality! Somehow I manage to find space for that piece of dark nutty chocolate beckoning me to come home to my pallette, where it would receive all the comfort love and warmth I need to express in this state of holiday bliss. I have now surrendered..... The conversation wonders back to a particular chocolate that sister in law is passionate about and as she unfolds its mysteries you must taste and discover. This is no time for excuses.

Feeling good. Eyes wonder out to the blanket of snow and everything feels safe and warm. The last place I would want to go is out into the cold ('reality' I think). All is swell; until that transition day when you walk back into the doors of your own home.... if you can fit.

All the good times, and intoxication are fading into never ever land. I look at myself in the mirror and think "I did my duty". Then dreamily go into a fond reverie....until I try on those tight jeans!!!

It's time to take action, I feel passionate again, my workouts are inspired. I'm like Rocky Balboa. Underdog to champion. As long as I try my best I am guaranteed results, I can only get better from here. It's back to clean living and motorvation.

More than anything I think it's the transitions that are harder than anything. Resisting the surrendering to the holidaze, then resisting leaving them. And it's exactly this change that fuels the fire within. Change, is like a breath of fresh air. The air causes a conflagration, of fire for inspiration.

Is The Bull Market In Gold Finished

As these words are being, written gold is consolidating at the $1,640 an ounce level after peaking at $1,900 in August of 2011. In addition, gold has fallen below both its 50 day and 200 day moving averages. For the army of technical analysis who now seem to rule Wall Street it is game over for gold. There is no shortage of financial commentators across the Wall Street spectrum that is prepared to write gold's obituary but is the bull;market in gold really finished?

The most curious thing about all of this is the Wall Street consensus opinion. An opinion, which has not deviated for decades. The consensus opinion has always been that gold is a barbarous relic and therefore a bad investment. After all that is what Keynes said and how could Keynes, be wrong. Then Wall Street was mugged by gold. For 12 straight years, gold out performed the S&P 500.

However, the real story is far worse than that. In August of 1971 president Nixon took the United States off the gold standard. At that, time gold was selling for $35.00 an ounce. In the 41 years since 1971, the price of gold has risen 54.28 times to its all time high of 1900 and 46.85 times to its current high. At that time the Dow Jones industrials was then selling at about 890. The Dow peaked in October of 2007 at 14,164 for a rise of 15.91 times. Its current price is 13,038 a rise of 14.64 times.

Wall Street needed a new story. The new story was that gold was in a bubble and therefore should not be bought. Overnight it went from being a barbarous relic that was a bad investment to being a bubble without ever being a buy.

The first thing you have to know about gold is its incredible rarity. The authoritative consensus is that from the beginning of recorded history to the present between 150,000 metric tons and 165,000 metric tons has been produced. At its most optimistic, that translates to about.76 troy ounces per human being. In other words if you gave every human being on earth a rather substantial gold ring you would wipe out the world's gold supply.

For an asset to be in a bubble more is required than a historically high price. The key requirement is that the asset must be owned by people, speculators really who will be panicked into dumping the asset by falling prices creating a death spiral.

When you look at the gold market what hits you in the head is how little gold the speculators own. The following is the recent World Gold Council estimates.

What do the speculators own?

Jewelry- 52%

Central banks -18%

Investment-16%

Industrial - 12%

Other- 2%

Jewelry at 52% dominates the gold market. What do you think the chances are that if the price of gold falls another 25% or 50% hysterical husbands are going to rip off their wives wedding rings and rush off to the pawnshop to sell it?

Central banks the second largest holders of gold at 18% are no longer dumping gold. They are now buyers of gold. They no longer trust the currencies of other nations. It is about time that they snapped out of their stupidity.

The industrial users of gold are not going to freak-out and stop using gold if the price falls. They will buy more. No body uses gold for industrial purposes if there is an alternative.

The only part of the market that is up for grabs is the 16% that is used for investment purposes, which is in the form of gold coins and bars. This is the only area where speculation matters.

Now let us look at who buys gold. One of the favorite proofs of the "gold is in a bubble crowd" is the constant ads for gold that we see in the newspapers. Of course, it never dawns on them that there is something very strange about these ads. At least 95% of all the ads are offers to buy gold and almost never offers to sell gold. Just check out these ads for yourself. If gold were in a bubble then the thrust of these ads would be to dump gold on stupid, unsuspecting investors. Yet, the reverse is happening. That brings up the crucial point of just where is this gold going. It is going to Asia.

The three titans of annual global consumption in 2011 were India with a whopping 745 metric tons. Followed by China, which consumed 428 metric tons, and a lame United States consuming 128 metric tons. On a global basis Asia has become a giant vortex sucking in gold from every corner of the globe. Gold is flowing from where it is disdained to where it is treasured. The more prosperous Asia becomes the more gold it buys. According to the World Gold Council in 2011 consumer gold demand rose 25% in China and a staggering 38% in India.

What do you think the chances are that the Wall Street consensus that gold is in a bubble will panic the Asians into dumping their gold?

In June of 2012, the Pan Asia Gold exchange will open in China and unlike the ugly shenanigans in the United States, each contract will have actual title to gold. They will be the first future gold contracts ever to be fully backed by gold. There is a very real possibility that the days when the price of gold was set in New York and London are ending. After all, if the gold is in Asia should not the price of gold be set in Asia?

It is long past time for the American people to wake up. The days when the dollar was as good as gold are over with. The barbarous relic is not gold. It is the paper currencies of the world that are being debased at a frightening rate. There is not a single sound currency left on the face of the earth.

Every once in a while the New York Times reprints its front page of 100 years ago. It is always an interesting read. The most interesting part of the reprint is the price of the New York Times 100 years ago. It was one cent. Today it is $2.50. What does that tell you?

Short Term Low Prices Provide Perfect Opportunity to Invest in Gold

Refreshed concerns about the euro zone have been weighing on gold prices, in particular, Spain, where bond yields have risen recently. Gold prices have now fallen for the fourth day in a row and are resting at around $1,640. While gold rose in 2011 in times of elevated risk aversion, it has since reverted to trading in line with other commodities and against the dollar, which is now the haven of choice.

For the week ending 10th April, CFTC reported that fund managers reduced their net positions across commodities futures and options by 9.3%, the largest decline seen since 20th December. Many speculators have cut their exposure to the gold price and flows of gold in ETP's have pretty much stagnated. Investors remain cautious and may continue to do so until gold decides whether or not it is going to embody its traditional safe haven status or not.

The near-term path of least resistance for gold appears to be lower and a base for gold prices may be forming around $1,600. In order for gold prices to recover an increase in emerging market demand is essential. Euro zone policy makers also need to restore market confidence by laying out a clear path to fiscal union which would help to bolster the Euro.

Jewellers across India ended a 21-day protest on 6 April following assurances by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee that the government would consider scrapping a proposal to impose an excise duty on unbranded gold jewellery. So far, however, merchants report that business has not rebounded as expected following the end of the protest. The weak INR has measurably dampened Indian demand. In the last 12 months the cost of 10 grams of gold has increased from cINR22,200 last year to cINR28,600, almost a 30% increase while in US dollar terms gold prices have only increased 8% for the same period.

Sales are expected to pick up over the forthcoming Akshaya Tritiya festival, which is one of the biggest gold buying festivals in the country and commences on the 24th April. The word 'Akshaya' means imperishable or eternal and as such valuables brought on this day are considered to bring success and good fortune. Gold is considered the ultimate symbol of wealth in India and gold demand is expected to reflect this sentiment during the festival.

In order to encourage gold purchases the Indian post office is offering a 6% rebate on gold coins of various denominations during the festival, this should be an attractive investment option for small investors who can buy smaller coins of 0.5-8 grams in weight.

Gold prices are likely to continue to struggle as investors await the outcome of the International Monetary Fund meeting and the US FOMC meeting.

Gold prices may look bearish in the short-term but in the long-term the gold price is expected to reach highs of $1,800 or more. Gold gave up most of its gains for this year when speculations of further monetary easing were wrung out of the market but as currencies continue to be weakened gold; should come back into play as the ultimate safe haven. There are still many factors present in the economy that will see gold prices driven higher; negative real interest rates, inflation/deflation, a strong US Dollar, futures market etc. Many people may still remain cautious at present but ultimately the current lows in gold price are the perfect opportunity to invest in gold before prices reach those predicted by banks.

Childhood Obesity, On the Rise

Along with the increase of obesity in adult, childhood obesity is on the rise. Around 15.5 percent of adolescents in the United States, aged 12 to 19 are obese. Even more alarming, about 15.3 percent of children ages 6 to 11 are obese. These children are developing Type II Diabetes and high blood pressure at an early age. They are placing themselves at increased risk for heart disease and other obesity-related diseases. Their weight also makes them the target of bullies and children who insult and taunt them about their weight. This can ruin their self-esteem and put them at risk for depression.

Today's children make up the digital generation. They've been surrounded by computers their entire life and are not as physically active as children of past generations were. Instead of going outside and playing, they tend to hang out indoors, watching TV and playing computer and video games. Along with lack of physical activity comes the convenience of fast food. There are fast food restaurants virtually around every corner, and they have easy access to snack foods full of saturated fats and sugars. In addition, obese parents are more likely to have obese children. The reason for this is two-fold. First, obese parents probably pass down their poor habits to their children. Second, genetics plays a role in obesity.

It's important for parents to be role models to their children and emphasize the importance of physical activity and healthy eating. Parents can create healthy environments for their children by doing regular physical activities, such as biking, swimming, or walking together. They should encourage their children to participate in sports, dance, martial arts, and etcetera. This allows children to develop an appreciation of physical activity and enjoy exercising.

When it comes to eating, parents need to implement diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains. They can make eating enjoyable and healthy by preparing food together and eating together as a family. Fast-food should be limited and reserved for special occasions. Way too often, we reward ourselves for a job well done with food. Look for other ways to reward your children for doing a great job, such as a special shopping trip or a day with just mom or dad.

Industrial Accident Compensation: The Role of Workers Compensation Department

Industrial accident compensation is perhaps one of the most sought after compensations in the UK. This comes as no surprise because the UK has one of the best redress of the compensation claims owing to industrial injuries and the Workers Compensation Department makes every effort to help those affected. It is this department which strives to make the prompt and able compensation to the affected or the family of the same in case of death. In fact, it is this department which is also striving hard to rehabilitate those affected by any kind of industrial accident and providing nursing care too.

The industrial accident compensation insurance is a measure which protects the employee and his family from any untoward happening that may befall upon him in terms of finances. That is if an employee is affected in some way physically, either temporarily or permanently, it is this insurance claim which stands him in good stead. However, one can benefit from this type of claim only if it is redressed in time. It is the Workers Compensation Department which makes every possible effort in this direction.

One can claim the compensation for the payment of medical benefits, compensation for the business being suspended, for being wounded and sick, compensation for any kind of disorder accrued. The family can claim for even funeral expenses in case of death. Before one goes on to claim the compensation, a claimant should know what and how much of compensation he stands to gain for his specific case.

Importance of Industrial Accident Compensation

Workers deal with a lot of unsuitable situations while working in the industry. They are paid for their work but this salary cannot compliment the risk they go through while working. Although employers may do every possible thing to make the work comfortable for the worker but working condition in the industry involves machinery and material that are dangerous for the life of the workers. Accidents are very common in industries and sometimes they are of very serious nature and can cause deaths too. For such matters, industrial accident compensation holds the key for the workers and their respective families. Compensations are also important because they allow the workers to do their work with a free mind and concentrate on it well.

Industries which deal with dangerous chemicals like acids and related fluids involve very high risk for the workers that are up to the limit of taking the life away. Therefore a good after work compensation will always give an advantage to the workers that is very much justified. Another importance that the industrial accident compensation holds is that in case of accidental deaths while working, the worker's family needs a lot of support as the source of earning becomes zero. Therefore compensation related to work will allow their families not to lose their financial stability and health. In a death like situation for a worker, the claim of the compensation should be addressed immediately so that there is no delay in relieving the compensation. There are many conditions where people become handicap while working on the machines. In such a situation too, compensation needs to be paid immediately. Insuring the workers is one of the best ways to get a firm compensation for the workers.
