Setting up feeds to your site

Would you like other sites to easily get the new posts from your site? It makes it easier to trade traffic and your most recent topics get put on the front of any site you trade traffic with if they have a mod installed that pulls your most recent topics. This can also allow members of your site to get direct feeds for certain areas of your forums. All you have to do is setup a RSS or XML export stream then input the data to FeedBurner after you setup an account. You can advertise all of this on your site for your members to click on and subscribe to in many ways. It's best to setup all the areas you want them to be able to subscribe to before hand and then upload them to this site before you make any skin changes that show the links. Just another way to increase your member retained ability and increase traffic.

I agree that this isn't a bad way to get some more traffic, but in reality, few websites use RSS feeds from other forums. Most websites that do this are just doing it to flood their forums or blogs with sloppy content.

I partially agree Ryan, though alot of sites do it to flood their sites there are times when it works really well. Like if a blog appreciates the content a site provides but doesnt have the time to update on a regular basis. It helps both sites. Or if 1 sites really likes a certain area that another site has and they just want to include it into their site but also give back some traffic for the hard work put into it.

It really takes alot of time and hard work to find the sites to trade these with but in the long run if you get with the right people it can benefit you both. Something like this doesnt happen overnight. It takes months sometimes longer to get everything right.
