Feedage.com provides features and benefits for both content readers and content publishers. This article will give content publishers some ideas on how they can get the most from Feedage.com.

Most publishers submit their RSS Feeds to Feedage.com to increase their exposure. While our directory is the primary way to get exposure we also have several other features that will help to increase the visibility of your RSS Feed and ultimately your content. Here are 4 tools that you should use to make the most of Feedage.com.

1. Submit your RSS Feed to our directory. This will create a Feed preview page where readers can preview your RSS feed and easily subscribe to it. The preview maintains all the links back to your website which will have SEO benefits. The directory allows users to find your feed by both search and categories. Submitting your RSS Feed is Free and easy. Once in the Feedage.com directory, you can also track the number of views and subscriptions. If you have a blog, make sure you submit the RSS Feeds for both your blog entries and for your blog comments.

2. HTML2RSS is a free tool to convert any web page to a RSS Feed. This is very valuable for sites that do not  generate RSS Feeds directly. Even if you already have a RSS Feed, you should use our HTML2RSS tool to create a unique content view and submit it to our directory.  Using HTML2RSS is as simple as entering the URL (address) of your website and receiving the URL of your generated RSS Feed.

3. RSS Blender creates a custom RSS blend (mashup) from multiple Feeds. This easy to use tool allows you to enter up to 5 RSS Feeds and select the number of items to be included from each feed. If you have multiple feeds you can create unique content by blending them together.

4.  My Groups is a tool where you can create a group of RSS Feeds. Readers can search for these groups and export them as OPML to be import into other RSS tools. By creating a group of RSS Feeds that cover a specific topic, with a clear title and good description you create another page where readers can find your content. Creating a group is straight forward. You can add and remove Feeds from your groups at any time. An example of a Feed group.

Now start mixing and matching. You can create a number of unique RSS feeds by combining these tools. For example you could submit your blog entries RSS Feed (1), create a unique version with HTML2RSS (2), blend them (3) and create a group(4). This is getting the most from your 1 RSS Feed.
