RSS could be the lifeblood of your content publishing strategy. That's how important it is. See why you should insert your RSS feed in the Atomic Reach platform. See how you can engage audiences through quality content!

1. What is an RSS Feed and why is it beneficial?

2. RSS stands for many of the same things:
• Really Simple Syndication
• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
• Real-time Simple Syndication (RSS
2.0)
While they all have different names, they
all serve the same purpose.
An RSS feed allows your audience to
“subscribe” or keep tabs on whenever
you update the content on your site. That
means every time you hit publish, the
RSS captures your update and distributes
to anyone who’s subscribed.

3. RSS could be the lifeblood of your content publishing strategy. It
automatically notifies your audience that you’ve published
something new, and that’s a very powerful engagement piece.
To keep tabs on your favorite RSS feeds, use an RSS reader, a
tool which consolidates all your favorite feeds into one. Content is
pushed directly to you, enabling you to read the latest news as it
comes in.
